ColColt · **High Protein -** 11-10-2007, 09:25 AM

This has no doubt been discussed before but, I couldn't find any specifics as to what may be too high a content of protein for the average dog. I've noticed Solid Gold's Barking at the Moon High Protein is pretty high at 41% protein and Timberwolf's Wild and Natural is 36%. Would this be considered way to high for a 30 pound Corgi (active or not)? I wasn't planning on switching, just curious.

Super premium Royal Canin (normal) is considered high in protein. This is a recommended dry dog food.

Depends on the dog. Some of mine have been able to handle higher proteins and some get hot spots.

And these higher protien foods are for very active dogs. Many will get fat on on protein counts this high. IMO, they're not for the average dog.

Taylor has just started on ProPlan with nearly one cup a day divided between normal adult lamb -base and Perfornace adult chicken-base. The Performance is high in protein but is not recommeded in full for dogs that are not very very active as are farm working dogs, racing dogs (eg Greyhounds), police and customs (drug) dogs and the like. Performance food (Hills, ProPlan etc) is not recommmended as a whole daily meal for dogs involved in agility and other sports.
