| HOw much is too much protein? It just came to my attention that Innova Evo has 42% protein. Is this too much? I have been feeding Zoe Innova Evo for 3 months now. Should I switch? If I should to what?

| Is that the puppy formula? If it is puppy formulas are usually higher in protein because puppies need it

| Hi everyone. Couldn't resist putting my two cents in. Innova EVO is actually designed for working dogs since they need the higher protein in their diets to build lean muscle. It is not recommended for puppies since it has so much protein. Hope that helps! |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | morgan is on a mix of it and i know other yorkies that are also on it with no problems. i'm not sure if its too much protein because those yorkies handle it just fine.
