I feed pre-made raw to my 3 and have for about 6 years or so - either Primal or Natures Variety. It's higher protein and I love it for them.
I agree with this and I know that for my own diet, especially as I've aged, I do better on a high protein no grain diet, much easier to keep my weight in check. Dogs are slightly more carnivorous than I am, so I think as they age, high protein might be helpful as well. Quality protein is expensive and tests probably show the minimum level needed rather than the optimum level, just as they do with human vitamins.
