Your dog needs a total of 22 amino acids, the building blocks used to make muscles, hair, skin and enzymes. Twelve of them are synthesized in their bodies; the other ten must be provided by diet.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids. There are non-essential ones—named 'non-essential' because they can be produced in the liver—and essential (or indispensable) ones that must be provided through the diet. A high protein diet for your dog is critical.
