What Is Low Protein Dog Food?
Low protein dog food is manufactured in both dry and canned varieties. The protein is lower than the protein in normal dog food and is often recommend by a veterinarian to address certain health issues. Many of these foods can only be obtained with a prescription because, unless there are health issues, dogs require approximately 25 percent protein in their diets. Putting your dog on a low protein diet without consulting your veterinarian could make your pet sick, so make sure this level of protein is appropriate for your pet before making a change.
