Academic Research

Adolph · 09-08-2011, 03:04 AM

I am working with a couple of breeders in Germany from a Schutzhund club, I was recently told that a high protein diet for the GDS is not good for their digestive system.

My question is this: Does anyone know of current academic research regarding GDS food?

It all depends on the dog. Some do better with lower protein diets, others are fine on foods like EVO or Orijen. Feed to what agrees with your dog. If you can feed high protein and have small, solid poops, a good coat, and no smell then it's obviously agreeing with their digestive system.
