I am looking for a quality feed which has a low level of high quality protein, for my 12-year-old active in mind and body Beardie cross. His current food is 38% protein (from meat) and I am concerned this may be too much for the kidneys to deal with.
Thank you.

I am not a nutritionist but I am not sure there is any correlation between a food with a high percentage of protein and kidney issues. I have also heard it said that high percentage protein foods can make a dog more hyperactive and perhaps aggressive. Once again, i do not think that is true. Surely it is more about the quality of the protein rather than the quantity?
ReplyDeletePerhaps a nutritionist can explain more about protein levels.
...if it is dry food you are already overworking the kidneys!
ReplyDeleteTwo contradicting posts.
ReplyDeleteCan Richard Allport come on and give some info please?
