Oh, That Food Is Unsafe for Humans? Let’s Give it to Our Pets

I've heard about other people having problems with it, most likely because it is very high in protein. Most dog food out there is very low in protein because protein is expensive relative to carbs. Going from a diet that is low in protein to one that is high in protein (or vise versa) is going to be problematic because it's going to take time for liver enzyme levels to adjust to the new diet. Some dogs may be fine and others are going to get sick. It's also possible that there's just some ingredient in the food that a dog never will be able to tolerate. My male border collie absolutely loves bread. He is very well mannered and never gets up on the counters or table, but the exception is when I bake bread. The smell drives him nuts and if he can get to it he will. He has stolen two of my loaves so far when I didn't put it far enough out of his reach. It gives him the shits every time.
