Raw Dog Food with Rabbit Edmonton
Apr 22, 2024
Rabbit is a lean raw protein popular with dog owners looking to rotate proteins or avoid common allergens. Here is what Edmonton raw feeders should know.
Rabbit is a protein that comes up regularly in conversations about raw feeding, particularly for dog owners looking to expand their dog's protein rotation or who have dogs with sensitivities to more common proteins like chicken or beef.
Rabbit is a lean, single-protein option that is less commonly found in commercial pet food than beef, chicken, or pork. This relative novelty makes it a useful option for owners whose dogs have developed sensitivities to more frequently fed proteins. See our post on raw dog food for dogs with allergies for more on using novel proteins in an elimination diet.
It is a complete protein source and, like all raw proteins, provides muscle meat, organ meat, and bone in a properly formulated raw blend.
Many experienced raw feeders rotate through multiple proteins over the course of a week or month rather than feeding the same protein every day. Rabbit fits naturally into this kind of rotation alongside beef, bison, turkey, and chicken. Our guide on how to rotate proteins in raw dog food explains how to approach this practically.
