Protein is crucial for the health of your dog, providing essential nutrients for growth, cell regeneration, and a healthy immune system.
How much protein does my dog need? Firstly, the requirement varies for each dog, but here's an approximate guideline based on age:
๐ถ ๐ฃ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Minimum crude protein content of 22.5%
๐๐๐ฑ๐๐น๐๐: Minimum crude protein content of 18%
๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ๐: Minimum crude protein content of 28%
When purchasing dog food, be sure to check the guaranteed analysis on the packaging. This will tell you how much crude protein the product contains.
๐ If you're unsure about your dog's optimal protein requirements, consult your veterinarian.

Besides dog food, where else can protein be supplemented?
IPaw Chicken Jerky Chips, full of aroma!
It's a favorite snack for every dog, made primarily with chicken meat, which is known to be easily digestible for dogs and has low allergenicity.
If your dog is allergic to chicken, Turkey Tendons are high in protein and low in fat, a favorite for picky dogs! It can keep your dog busy chewing on turkey tendons while you're busy with your tasks.
