Yeah, but the animals don't run on %'s - so 20% protein of 400g of meat makes 80g protein

 

That's the important bit... The macronutrients

But we were talking about percentages not macros. Lol

Of course we are, but only with a view to seeing the right amounts for a dog

 

What I'm saying is that you and shroom are right in doing what you're doing because they're still getting their 100g of protein (or whatever it is) per day.

 

Whether you're feeding 300g of 33% protein dry food, or 500g of 20% chicken carcass doesn't make a difference if you're only looking at what protein your dog's getting. And a dog will need a certain amount of protein and fat to perform at a certain standard

 

Look into IIFYM - it's geared towards humans but it's the same principle

you lads keeping dogs or doing "O" level home economics and chemistry

I used nutrivet for a while inbetween feeding raw my bitch got on well with it but my dog was loosing fur on his bag legs n seemed to loose weight so I put that down to the high protein in it so stopped using it n went back to just feeding raw, good stuff tho I just think there all different n were one feed suits one dog it may not suit another..

The MM stuff is very good. highly digestible and does not swell up like a lot of kibble when wet. I used to feed it but one of the dogs went off it for some reason, And wont touch it now.

 

I fed it as a mixer when the dogs were in work, and as a complete food when rested and all did fine

taste the wild and simpsons 80/20, though that fussy fecker has gone off the Simpsons 80/20 completely, so may well order the Akela next time around

I'd better start feeding kangeroo flesh then.... I hear it is over 90℅ protein

Sounds like you're giving it all a bit too much thought mate.

 

I give mine plenty of variety and they do well. Don't weigh anything or worry about protein levels.

never left dogs diet to chance, always weighed the dog and the amount of food its fed. At different times of the year they get fed different quantities of food
