What dry dog food is high in protein?

Lots of dry dog food is high in protein, but not all are! High protein food focuses on protein as the biggest energy source while standard dog food provides energy through protein, carbohydrates and fats. At Chewy, we offer high protein dry dog food from today's top brands. Not all recipes call out high protein in the name, so we always break down the protein percentages for food in our Nutritional Information tab to help you make an informed decision with your vet.

Is high protein dry food good for dogs?

High protein dry dog food is good for dogs with special nutritional needs. This can vary by activity level, breed, size and health conditions. Young pups and older fur-iends can benefit from a protein-rich diet to support muscle maintenance and growth. Overweight dogs can be satisfied and feel full longer with high-protein weight management food. If your furbaby is an athlete, she needs the extra amino acids provided by protein to support her muscle growth and recovery. Also, lactating moms may benefit from a protein boost while still feeding her litter. As always, check with your vet to see if a high-protein diet is right for your canine companion.
