Ok so I called my vet about this and here’s what he told me –
Too much protein will make your dog thirsty because the kidneys have to work harder to process higher protein levels.
He asked how much protein is in both of their kibbles and I told him that the Salmon & Pea is 27% and the Bison & Peas is 30%. He said if I’m going to put both recipes in the meal, I need to decrease the salmon/pea recipe by however much Bison I add. And if I’m adding fresh meat, to decrease the dry food by 2 tbsp each, because that is more protein. He also advised adding plenty of veggies, and a tbsp of warm water to their food.
Any thoughts on this?
