Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years old | 17 lbs
What seems like a better dog food Natural Balance L.I.D. (20% protein, 10% fat) or Nulo? (30% protein, 17% fat) I'm confused to whether my dog could use the extra protein from Nulo or if 20% is enough protein for her. Aren't dogs carnivores so wouldn't more protein be better? the only notable difference between these two besides protein and fat is that Natural Balance has about 80 fewer calories per cup. Can you explain your answer. I have a five year old cavalier King Charles spaniel.

I'v had a look at the ingredients list, which is to me more important than the protein %, both of them are great quality food, Nulo seems to be a little better though, but it's completely up to you, both are a great choice.
