Protein in dog food


Because the excess and unusable protein enters the body via the bloodstream, it must be broken down in the liver and filtered out by the kidneys. The liver and kidneys are put under more strain.

Salt in dog food


Excess salt is excreted in dogs through urine. An extremely high amount of salt is harmful to your dog. Kidney problems can occur.
