It is utter nonsense that a dog food can the “too high in fat and protein.” The truth is that fats and proteins are what canines were shaped by evolution to consume as an optimal diet and–in contrast–carbohydrates are non-essential, not “natural,” and are detrimental to health.
Carbohydrates are in dog foods for only two reasons:
1) Because the cereal-making machinery that was converted to produce dog food requires a substantial amount starch in the manufacturing process.
2) Feeding carbs (and plant-based proteins) reduces costs to producers and increases profits.
But there are no essential nutrients in carbohydrates. None.
Dogs who are fed fat as a primary energy source have much higher stamina than dogs fed a high carb kibble diet.
Some folks who admit not having expertise in these matters sure seem to like putting out false information.
