The great debate whether too high protein causes kidney disease. Even in the throws of kidney disease there continues the debate making it so hard on pet owners to decide whether to deplete the muscle mass and have the kidneys work less - didn't work on my dog but she had the added problem of melamine, so I'll never know about protein helping or hurting her.
