Raw Dog Food Chicken Edmonton
Sep 23, 2024
Chicken is one of the most popular raw proteins for dogs in Edmonton. Here is what makes it a good starting point and which Hound and Bone blends contain it.
Chicken is one of the most widely fed proteins in raw dog food, and for good reason. It is accessible, well-tolerated by most dogs, and available in a range of formats.
Chicken is a lean, complete protein that works well as a foundation protein for dogs new to raw feeding. It is one of the most commonly used proteins in raw blends, which means it is widely available and typically one of the more affordable options in the raw food range.
Because it is so commonly fed, chicken is also one of the proteins most worth rotating away from occasionally. Dogs that eat the same protein continuously over a long period are more likely to develop a sensitivity to it. Including a second or third protein in your dog's rotation alongside chicken is a practical way to add variety. Our guide on how to rotate proteins in raw dog food explains exactly how to approach this.
Hound and Bone carries two chicken-based blends. The Chicken Blend Tube is a meat-only formula containing whole ground chicken, chicken organs, and ground bone. The Chicken Veggie Blend Tube adds a vegetable mix including carrots, pumpkin, potatoes, oats, eggs, flax, and kelp for owners who prefer a BARF-style formula. See our post on raw dog food for dogs with allergies if you are looking to use chicken as part of an elimination approach.
Both are available as 40LB boxes, and individual 1LB tubes of each can be added through the bundle builder. Shop chicken blends to find the right option for your dog.
If you are new to raw feeding and unsure where to begin, chicken is a reasonable starting protein for most healthy adult dogs. It is easy to source, familiar to most dogs, and a good baseline before introducing additional proteins like turkey or bison.
Hound and Bone delivers chicken raw dog food to Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Leduc, Spruce Grove, and Stony Plain. Free delivery on orders over $120.
