On February 1st of this year, I received a phone call from Toni Ligouri of Katy's Promise Rottweiler Rescue. She had heard on the news of a cruelty seizure in Coryell County, Texas where the Sheriff's Department took in more than 200 Rottweilers. This seizure also included 46 horses, 2 Bengal, 2 mountain lions, 18 domestic cats, a raccoon, a monkey, some birds, a monitor lizard, a deer and more for a total of 300 animals. All of these animals were being moved to the Houston SPCA. Toni called me because I am the Chairperson for the American Rottweiler Club Disaster Committee and she hoped I could get more information about this seizure.

There is a lot of misconceptions concerning protein and dogs. So let’s start with the basics and learn exactly what protein is and what foods contain the necessary proteins for a healthy dog’s diet.
A common concern for dog owners is trying to figure out how much to feed their dog, especially when switching to a raw or home cooked diet.
How much food to feed your dog can vary and the total daily diet consumption depends on the dog’s age, weight, metabolism, and size.

Protein is found in most foods, including carbohydrates. But dogs are carnivores and the best source of protein for them is found in animal products. This would include meat (pork, beef, poultry, lamb, rabbit, fish, dairy and eggs, just to mention a few). Animal based proteins contain a complete amino acid profile needed by carnivores. Plant based proteins are missing important amino acids, including taurine and carnitine. Both of these are important for heart and organ health.
The anatomy and digestive process of dogs are designed to most easily digest animal fat and protein. Dogs perform best on animal based products. Studies have shown you cannot feed a dog too much protein.

The issue of protein in puppies and growing dogs has become very controversial and various sources often give conflicting advice. Protein is often blamed for many orthopedic problems in growing puppies, including hip and elbow dysplasia, OCD and Panosteitis. As a result of excessive protein being blamed for these joint issues, it is often recommended to feed less protein to puppies, especially large breeds. |

Weaning Puppies on a Raw Diet
| By Lew Olson • Spring 2000 Newsletter |
| I start feeding them four meals a day, but I slowly narrow this down to three (eliminating one milk/egg meal). At about four to five months I finally feed them twice a day, stopping the last milk/egg snack. This diet is set up to an example, it can be varied by raw meaty bones and types of meats and vegetables. |
