Complete BARF 80/10/10 nutritional profile, calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, and safe feeding guidelines.
Raw duck necks are an ideal novel-protein bone choice for dogs allergic to chicken or beef. Featuring ~50% bone and 50% meat, they are naturally rich in bioavailable chondroitin and glucosamine for cartilage regeneration.
Hypoallergenic Bone & Joint Glucosamine
Essential bioavailable nutrients provided per 100g serving:
Prevent hypervitaminosis or mineral imbalance by capping rations to exact biological requirements.
Thaw fully. Skin can be peeled off to lower fat content for low-calorie diets.
A 50 lb dog eating 20 oz total food needs 1 medium duck neck (approx 3.5 - 4 oz) every other day.
Clinical Feeding Secrets & Avoidable Pitfalls
Veterinarian Pro-Tip:
Because duck neck vertebrae are larger and denser than chicken necks, they offer a superior 5-to-8 minute workout for medium dog jaws, releasing endorphins that calm canine anxiety.
Common Mistake to Avoid:
Feeding duck necks with thick subcutaneous fat rolls to dogs with a history of acute pancreatitis. Strip the outer fatty skin layer before serving.
