Tim Redd Webboard User Reg: 02-17-2005 Posts: 104 Loc: Iowa Offline	I'm doing my puppy kibble homework. What % of protein should it contain? I'm getting a GSD in 3 weeks and want to do the best I can, next to raw. Any other info would also be appreciated. What about adding the Super C, kelp, alfalfa and salmon oil to the kibble? Thanks.

What I should have written was that the majority of the articles I read indicated a minimum of 28% protein for dry kibble. Sorry! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Lorenzo Williams Webboard User Reg: 12-13-2004 Posts: 206 Loc: OH, United States Offline	Personally I think 28% is more than adequate for a growing large breed pup. Houserhaus Kennel http://www.houserhaus.com

Stacie Glaze Moore Webboard User Reg: 01-05-2005 Posts: 135 Loc: Offline	Question.....Why would anyone be shocked at a minimum of 28% protein? If you feed raw, you're giving them a lot higher percentage of protein then that. You're supposed to feed lean meat and a little veggie pulp. So, it's probably less than 10% fat, less than 5% carbs (from the veggies) and the rest is protein. When all other friends desert, he remains.--George G. Vest

Stacie Glaze Moore Webboard User Reg: 01-05-2005 Posts: 135 Loc: Offline	Darn those short edit times! I forgot to add in the bone, but the protein is still over 50% on a raw diet. When all other friends desert, he remains.--George G. Vest

Lorenzo Williams Webboard User Reg: 12-13-2004 Posts: 206 Loc: OH, United States Offline	No one was shocked. I think my comment was 28% is more than sufficient protein. We are speaking of dry kibble here. At least that's how this post originated. For a large growing pup that's a good level of protein. Houserhaus Kennel http://www.houserhaus.com
