Hello there. 
I recently rescued a 4 y/o corgi & GSD mix.
She's currently on the Purnia junk, which is what she was fed in the pound, and I'm a bit confused as to what I should switch her to.
After doing some homework, I understand the most 'recommended' brands seem to be the grain-free kibble with ~40% protein.
Which is great, I suppose, for a working dog. But does the average city dog really require kibble with such high % of kibble?
If she doesn't utilize the majority of the protein, its just extra strain on her kidneys, no?
She gets ~40 mins of a rigorous run with me along with another hour of outdoor playtime in the evening.
Any opinions as to whether I should feed her 25%, 30%, or 40% protein kibble?
Or is it just a matter of trail and error and what the dog does best on?
Thank you!
