Ask Dr V: Nutrition, rotation diets, and high protein

September 30, 2011 by Dr. V

Today I’m showing Part 2 of the Ask Dr V series. I believe, though I haven’t checked it against the itinerary, that I should be on my way to the Ngorongoro Crater as we speak. Unless a chimp shoved me off the mountain earlier in the week, in which case these pre-published videos will be on a whole new level of macabre.

Which, by the way, my shade would find utterly hysterical.

    I agree that it fully depends on your dog’s individual needs. If your dog has aggressive tendencies, according to Dr. Nicholas Dodman at Tuft University, a high protein diet (over 23-25%) may increase those tendencies. If your dog (with aggressive tendencies) is highly active, more protein is fine. If it is sedentary then why give it all this extra energy-producing food that it may expend by becoming more aggressive?
