Generally speaking eating high protein in this fashion is not detrimental to the pet. In fact the more we research the impact of a consistently high protein diet on the health of dogs, we are finding that they tolerate it rather well. The only time we focus on limiting protein ingestion is when the pet has a diagnosed kidney or heart malfunction.
