he Right Amount of Protein for Your Dog
You know your dog needs protein to be healthy, but what quantity is enough? the solution depends on your dog’s life stage (puppy, adult, pregnant/lactating, senior), lifestyle (indoor, outdoor, active, sedentary, working) and unique health-related needs, e.g., weight management.
Protein in Commercial pet-food
Complete and balanced dog foods are formulated to supply your adult dog with adequate dietary protein and amino acids (the building blocks of protein) to support his maintenance needs.
Puppies, however, require extra dietary protein while they grow and develop. it's important to pick a food that's formulated for puppies (or “All Life Stages”) and meets this demand. Senior dogs also need higher amounts of protein to maximise their lean body mass.
Energy Sources in Your Dog’s Diet
Protein makes up 20 to 35 percent of the metabolizable energy in Purina dog foods, reckoning on the formula you decide on. Our puppy, senior and weight loss diets have higher amounts of protein compared to adult maintenance formulas to accommodate your dog’s needs.
Your dog’s health depends on a well-balanced diet. If you’re feeding your dog a Purina pet-food appropriate for his life stage, he's getting the right amount of protein.
