Hi jacquie-

My current addition textbook I had for school (vet tech) says dogs can only digest up to 40% protein on a dry matter basis.

I haven’t personally heard any connection between anxiety and protein.

I would try to find your dog activities to do that build confidence and mentally simulate her. Many dogs who are under exercised and not being mentally stimulated will have behavioral issues like anxiety.

What kind of dog is your dog?
