What Is An Amino Acid?

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein in all living things. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids. There are non-essential ones (called that 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.

Essential amino acids

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