Sources of protein other than meat

Dogs often need an added boost of protein for overcoming a sickness or because their regular dog food is low in protein. When adding protein to their diet you don't have to add meat s there are other sources of protein that are overlooked.

One of them is cottage cheese. It is very high in protein and easy on a dogs stomach if they are getting over an illness. Another good source is yogurt, the plain unflavored type. Yogurt is also known as one of the homemade remedies for acne for humans but I don't know if it works on dog acne. Eggs, both cooked and raw are a good addition to a dogs diet to increase protein.
