The veterinary literature shows that a protein content below 26% greatly increases the risks of dog’s developing muscle tears and the odds of those injuries repairing poorly. A 23% protein ration is abysmal. Adding water doesn’t change that.

High carbohydrate percentages have their own well-demonstrated problems as does an insufficiency of fat in the diet.

That’s not “opinion” but what is demonstrated in the veterinary literature.

Positioning oneself against the preponderance of scientific evidence doesn’t make one’s “opinion” equally valid. LOL.

A 23/15 diet is a very poor formula that will cause a dog foreseeable health consequences.
