    42% Protein for a puppy?

    Can I safely feed Winston (8 month old Vizsla x Choc. Lab) a kibble with 42% protein?  What are the consequences of doing so if any?

    I'm thinking in particular of Solid Gold's B.A.T.M. dry food.  its got a great ingredients list with many things that he has not had yet.  I'd really like to give it a shot, but its an adult food with a lot of protein.

    the protein isn't the problem- the high calcium level in BATM and EVO is a problem. To be safe, wait until 14 months of age to feed these foods. The only higher-protein low carb kibble on the market that is safe to feed to growing puppies is Timberwolf Organics wild n natural.
