Cats and dogs require different amounts of protein in their diets. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning that they require a higher proportion of protein in their diet than dogs do. A cat’s diet should consist of around 25-35% protein on a dry matter basis. On the other hand, dogs require around 18-25% protein on a dry matter basis in their diet. However, the exact amount of protein that a cat or dog needs in their diet will depend on factors such as their age, weight, activity level, and overall health.

It is essential to consult with a veterinarian or animal nutritionist to determine the right amount of protein for your pet’s specific needs and to ensure that their diet is balanced and nutritious.
