Nutro Ultra Weight Management is 16%

Yeah its the same as the CN, which is strange to me since the nutro has more ingredients...maybe I can supplement his diet with more veggies.

Natural Balance has the lowest so far out of all the ones I have researched. 16.5% with the weight management diet (less than the vegatarian diet )

I was checking out the protein in Innova Evo, because their regular formula has very small bites, and it's 42%!!!

Solid Gold Holistique only has 18% protein and very good ingredients. It only contains fish as a meat protein, and I've fed it before with good results. It costs about $1.50/pound. Good luck with Bubba! I hope his kidneys get better soon

Thanks Erica....Banfield didn't even mention the kidney thing to me I saw it looking through his paperwork and they said it wasn't enough above the norm to worry about, so hopefully he won't have health problems when he gets older.

I am suprised about innovea 42%

Lv4dogs...do you know where you buy the natural balance? I don't remember seeing that at the feed stores, maybe petsmart??

Well Molli is 5 pounds and I feed her Iams Small Kibble. There is regular and then the small kind. It takes her FOREVER to eat the regular kibble because it's too big and she likes to take her time to eat.

I know petco does but I am not sure about petsmart.

They have a store locator on their site:

Some smaller feed stores will special order food for you... which may in turn make then carry it in their stores all the time.
