PBI — and I think the Beams are awesome, OP! —

Why would higher amounts of fat and this protein-fat ratio matter for healthy dogs?

Why couldn’t the fat be higher unless there is a specific risk to the breed or individual dog, past history of problems (etc.)?

In a human diet, I understand even 40% fat to be fine when it’s a healthy fat for us like (just as a human example) primarily extra virgin olive oil, then some Omega 3, some virgin coconut oil. And I think of dogs as even better equipped to handle specific types of fat and in high amounts.
