Question

How much protein is the right amount for dogs? Some dog foods have 30% plus others much less. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 3 months old | 70 lbs

30% is excessive and there is no added benefit to that level. If she is a high energy dog then a higher fat content is better to maintain weight if that is an issue. 20-25% is most commonly found in adult maintenance foods.
