23% of Protein in dry food is hard to find ??

Queeny · 11-07-2011, 12:50 PM

hi everyone

I'm new here so I would like to say hello to everybody. i'm a french Canadian from Laurentian mountain in Quebec Canada (Near Montreal)

Here is my concern. My breeder strictly telling me to feed my 16 month old girls with food that contain a maximum protein of 23%. It is verry hard to find. Rigth now i'm on taste of the wild fish formula but my dog is stratching chewing herself like crazy since 2 monts... She had no problem in the past with food but i'll think now she becoming allergic to this formula...

Someone know someting that is maximum 23% with bison or duck without chicken under 23% of protein. the taste of the wild duck formula has chicken fat inside so....

Thanks you for your input you have great day

WHY does the breeder say 23% or less? Never heard that one before.

Protein isn't what needs attention... calcium and phosphorus are.

Is it in your contract that you have to feed 23% protein or less?

There's a brand named Victor, made in Texas that has a 23% protein but it's not a grain free.

This seems like an odd set of rules. If a dog is allergic to chicken, chicken fat may be ok though. [had one of those]

Kirkland's Nature Domain is 24% protein and grain free.

Victor's a regional food only available in Southern states and a few parts of California; they'll never be able to get it in Montreal.

I would look at Nutram, Corey, Pro Plan and Eukanuba to see what is available in Montreal.

Annamaet and Dr. Tim's are available in Quebec. Those two would be the best.

I agree feed 25 - 30%.

I had the same issue when my pup had extremely down pasterns. Natural Balance has some good formulas that are under 23% protein. After 5 weeks on a lower protein kibble, his pasterns dramatically improved.

**Not sure if it's available in your area...

I dont really know but i've chat with her few times about this and she is really firm on that statement. also she dont want i'll give more than 200gram of food 2 times per day...

i'll giving more than 200g (220-250) now beceause she's swiming walking to much so she was needed more food i'll guess...
