Liver shunt is not (ever) caused by food. The only thing that food has to with LS is that *if* your dog has LS, then it needs a lower protein food. But higher protein food cannot cause it whatsoever.

Dogs are canines and really the most species-appropriate food for them is a higher protein food (vs a higher carb dog food). Some people think "oh yorkies are too small for higher protein foods" -- that is utterly ludicrous. It's like saying for humans that only people at a certain height should maintain a normal diet. Yorkies are just like ANY other canine, just smaller.
