Recent research has suggested that higher levels of protein in your dogs diet could result in kidney failure. Do you know if what you are giving your dog is safe? Are you harming the health of your furry friend by giving too much protein in your dogs diet? The studies that showed a link to high protein levels and kidney failure that started the fears about protein levels in a dogs diets was not researched the right way. The research was executed on rats, not dogs. Rats primarily eat plants as their regular diet.
