Protein on Dog and Cat Food Labels – What Those Numbers Actually Mean
Most pet parents feel good when they see a high protein percentage on the label. “28% protein.” “32% protein.” “High protein.” It sounds impressive, but the label is telling you far less than you think.

What your dog and cat's kibble is not telling you
Most parents assume kibble is “complete and balanced,” so it must be enough. On paper, it usually is. In real life, the way the nutrients behave inside the dog or cat's body is very different. The difference comes from moisture, heat processing, ingredient quality, and how well nutrients survive digestion.
