Simply put, your dog’s body would not function without protein. Protein performs several key bodily functions, such as creating enzymes, hormones, and antibodies, building muscles, and maintaining a strong immune system. Protein is made up of little building blocks called amino acids. Your dog needs 22 total amino acids, and while your dog’s body is capable of producing 12 of those amino acids, the remaining 10 need to come from your dog’s diet. When a dog is not getting enough protein, his coat might be dry, brittle, or even patchy. You may find that he loses weight very easily or that wounds take a long time to heal.

When choosing the best food for your dog, make sure to read the label. While your dog needs protein, he will also benefit from other types of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and grains. The highest-quality dog foods will include all three of these elements in addition to meat. Make sure that you recognize most of the ingredients in the food you choose and that it doesn’t contain too many fillers such as soy or corn. Aim for a dog food whose first two or three ingredients are meat-based.

Protein is an essential nutrient for your dog. The exact amount of protein that your dog needs depend on his size, age, and activity level. Unless your dog has kidney problems, you shouldn’t be too concerned about feeding him too much protein as long as you choose high-quality, balanced dog food. When in doubt, talk to your vet about finding the right food for your dog.

If your dog is a working dog or if he simply gets a lot of exercise, he needs more protein in his diet than a dog that gets light to moderate amount of

exercise. The same is true for pregnant or lactating dogs and ill or sick dogs. Puppies also need more protein than adult dogs; about 29 percent (by weight) of their diet should be protein. If you are unsure how much protein your dog needs basing on his age, exercise level, and other factors, make sure to ask your veterinarian for advice. *Petkeen.com
