Percentage of protein in dog’s diet

The average Dog’s diet should consist of 40% meat, 50% of vegetables and 10% of grain. At least in your dog’s diet there should be animal protein, these includes beef, chicken, lamb or turkey. The grains that are not easily digestible can cause your dog to have a reaction. You must figure out the percentage of dry matter in the food, for instance if there is 10% moisture that leaves 90% dry matter. Then, you must convert the other percentage to dry matter percentage. To do this you must divide the percentage by the percentage of dry matter. If there is 90% dry matter and the protein listed is 26%, you must divide 26 by 90. The result of this 28%. This is the actual percentage amount of protein in the food.
