Raw Dog Food Duck Edmonton
Oct 7, 2024
Duck is a rich, novel raw protein that many dogs find highly palatable. Here is what Edmonton dog owners should know about duck in a raw feeding rotation.
Duck is a rich, flavourful protein that many dogs find highly appealing, and it is a useful addition to a raw feeding rotation for owners looking to introduce variety.
Duck is higher in fat than chicken or turkey, giving it a richer flavour profile that tends to be very palatable for most dogs. It is considered a novel protein for dogs that have primarily been fed chicken or beef, which makes it a practical option to introduce when rotating through different proteins. For a full guide on building a rotation, see our post on how to rotate proteins in raw dog food.
Like all complete raw blends, duck-based raw food includes muscle meat, organ meat, and ground bone in balanced proportions.
Duck works well as an occasional protein in a rotation alongside leaner options like chicken, turkey, or pork. Because of its higher fat content, some owners use it as a rotation protein rather than a daily staple, particularly for less active dogs or dogs prone to weight gain.
Duck raw dog food is less commonly available than beef or chicken in the Edmonton market. Hound and Bone sources products from trusted suppliers and updates its range as products become available. Check the current product listings or reach out to info@houndandbone.ca for information on upcoming availability.
The bundle builder lets you mix individual tubes across whatever proteins are currently in stock, which is a good way to introduce variety while exploring the full range.
