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. |
I have heard very good things about that food... My dogs are mostly on Grandma Lucy's and the highest quality raw food diet that I purchase from the freezer section at my petless pet shop (Global). I just ran out of the raw food and it beats me right now what the name of it is!!! Hate when that happens lol. I know dogs don't NEED protein...I enjoy giving them a little. It pleases ME lol and they are very fit my pooches. I keep them at their optimum weight for their frame. I really want them to LIVE LONG AND PROSPER LOL... My female is 9 and my new boy is 1. Your vet is right...veg and fruit is a necessity, apart from their food...
