Why protein matters in your dog’s diet
Protein is an essential part of your dog’s diet.
It provides amino acids that the body uses for numerous functions, including the maintenance and repair of body tissues.
Where does protein come from?
Animal ingredients such as meat and fish are familiar sources of dietary protein.
Monty’s recipes use ingredients including beef, lamb, chicken and fish as part of our complete meals.
But protein shouldn’t be considered in isolation.
More isn’t automatically better
A large protein percentage on a packet doesn’t, by itself, tell you whether a food provides good overall nutrition.
Dogs also need fats, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and an appropriate amount of energy.
The balance between these nutrients matters.
That’s why Monty’s recipes aren’t designed around maximising a single headline ingredient.
They’re developed around a more important question:
What does your dog need from the complete meal?
