High protein dog food must have meat as their primary ingredient. Meat is what gives the food the protein. Dogs need meat to be healthy.
We dog lovers and owners only want what is best for our dogs. There are times when we can’t get the most expensive high protein food. You can either make homemade dog food so you know what source of protein your dog is getting, or if you look around and read labels it is possible to find a high protein food that you can afford.
If you see grain as the protein that is listed first on the food label, do not buy it. If fish or meat is listed first on a high protein food label it would mean that the food is of high quality. People used to think that a high protein level in your dog would cause kidney failure. So don’t worry if the vet says your dog needs a high protein food, they will be OK.
As long as you know the source of the protein is a good one, the high protein food you buy will be OK.
