Protein

Ok...I have a question.

If high protein is bad for dogs (makes the kidneys work harder as protein is not stored) why are raw foods and better quality foods high in Protein (Innova Evo is like 42% protein, when vets recommend 20-23%).

I just thought that if you feed less of the food, you get the same amount of protein in the long run..am I wrong. If you feed 4 cups of 20% protein per day, or 2 cups of 40% protein per day, do you get the same amount of protein per day in the end?

I also heard it's a myth that too much protein causes kidney problems, as the tests were done on rats, not dogs.
