[nagdu] protein

[Raven Tolliver]

Oh no, not numbers!
Danielle,
Nutritional needs vary from dog to dog. There's no easy answer to your
question. It's best to say that a high protein diet is best. If you're
feeding fresh, whole foods, there's no need to worry about this
because balance comes from a variety of body parts from a variety of
animals. As long as you feed variety, you can't overdo much.
Back when I fed ki**le, I believe I shot for a food being
40-something% protein. But as I said, different dogs need different
levels of nutrients. And I am not knowledgeable enough about ki**le to
even know if there's something out there with over 50% protein.
