My female is nothing like him....she's such a lady . Ok, well I guess I'll have to find a better source of protein. I give them a shot of protein from time to time thru out the day with these tenders. I guess I could just give him some chicken from the fridge...
Not sure why you think your dogs need more protein than they get in their daily diet of dog food?

Dogs do not need a lot of protein, there should be all the protein he needs in his kibble or food intake each day (around 18% protein in a healthy adult dog). Dogs are omnivores, not carnivores. I feed my boys Taste of the Wild dog food, it has a good amount of protein to meet their daily needs. My boys hardly ever get any protein outside of their food and they are healthy and happy (if slightly overweight) 7 years old!

My vet tells me if my boys are still hungry while they are adjusting to the reduced amount of food they get to supplement their diet with green beans and carrots.
