Curious as to what correct amount of protein would be ok for a biewer adult? I have been told that younger dogs within the terrier group are susceptible to liver shunt/issues and once over the adolescence phase, more protein would be ok.

Currently I have JB on Authority Lamb & Rice with 23% protein and 12% fat. It is rated 3.5 stars, "not" grain-free and he does well on it, but, I am adding a new addition to the family soon (another biewer which is a retired stud coming from Alabama) and he is on grain-free. Was thinking of transitioning them both to grain-free but the brand I am interested in is a Bison & Pea formula which is rated 4.5 stars with 30% protein. It is also not outrageously priced. Your thoughts?
