What do you mean by "too hot"? I've heard it before but never truly understood what it meant.

too much protein which can cause kidney damage
"Proteins are the building blocks of the body and an absolute necessity for daily function. However, when a dog consumes too much protein in a meal it cannot all be utilized at one time, nor can it be stored for later. The body will then excrete the excess protein through the kidneys and out of the body via urine. Thus the quality of the protein actually becomes more important that than actual amount as a high quality protein is more bio-available and can be better absorbed by the body. " quote

Not easy to know. Vomiting /diarrhea can be symptoms.
( Just my opinion. i could be totally wrong. 
)

But then again i have never come across in all my years any working dog suffering kidney damage from too much protein. Some proteins can be too rich for a digestive system and cause diarrhea.

I hear you , but who knows. My 10 year old setter now has urinary incontinence in the night. 
Who knows if she rec'd too much protein over the years and it damaged her kidneys.

I have had many working Siberian Huskies that lived to 15 and 16 years of age being fed high protein and fat diets(meat) and die of old age. A good friend of mine had a sled dog live to 17 years of age on the same diet. I think the key to longevity besides genetics is a physical working routine.

must be all that corn..........
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.
