What is the percentage of protein in healthy weight for small breeds? I switched my dog to Blue about 4-5 months ago; now he has crystals in his urine. My vet told me that it may be the food, depending on the protein percentage.

Asked by: Anonymous

Thank you for your question. The crude protein percentage is 20%.
