My dog has high ALP. Could it be from too many carbs in her food?

Question

Can excess carbohydrates cause elevated levels of Alkaline Phosphatase in dogs? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 20 days old | 45 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. No, carbohydrates are not considered to play a role in ALP. However, I notice that Luna is 8 months old and ALP is often elevated in normal growing puppies (it is related to bone growth). In all likelihood, this elevation is nothing to worry about. Best wishes to you and Luna!
