Re: Very naughty dog.

with mine dogs dally's they cant have high protein food so i give mine greyhound food which is 18% and tripe,
my dogs have the complete dog food in the morning and the tripe in the evening.
but i have seen dog food so high in protein most dogs dont need that much ive seen it in the 30% odd
and if your dog have been done they dont need as much as what people think, people go by whats on the packet for their size dog these are mostly way to much and isa guide line and its a case of testing out how much your dogs really really needs.
i would go for about a 20% protein food
and for a dog a working dog would need more protein if they are working or very active things like aguility etc,
they need it like tess she has complete food of 24% but then not as much as they say on the packet she dont need it all.

its like my friend boxer he always had the runs not matter what they gave him,
so i got him onto a small amount of complete food in the morning and tripe in the evening and they have never looked back, no more runs.

and the vets have a lovely side line on the dog food they sell most get commission on the food they sell as well so they push these owners to buy there food science plan etc. which has got a lot of protein in it.
