Chicken carcass
What is chicken carcass?
Chicken carcass is what remains of the chicken after it has been gutted and cut up. It consists of bones, cartilage, skin and meat scraps. Chicken carcass is a popular BARF product as it is a natural source of calcium and other nutrients. It can also clean your dog's teeth and satisfy their chewing instinct.
How to feed chicken carcass?
Chicken carcass should always be fed raw, as cooked bones can splinter and injure your dog. You can buy chicken carcass whole or minced (shredded). The amount depends on the size and requirements of your dog. As a rule of thumb, bones should make up around 10 to 20 percent of your dog's daily food ration.
You should always combine chicken carcass with plant-based ingredients such as vegetables or fruit to ensure a balanced diet. You should also make sure that your dog drinks enough water, as bones can make the stool firmer.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of chicken carcass?
Chicken carcass has many benefits for your dog:
- It is rich in calcium, which is important for bone structure and teeth.
- It contains other nutrients such as protein, fat, iron and zinc.
- It can promote dental health by removing tartar and massaging the gums.
- It can satisfy your dog's chewing instinct and make it fun.
However, chicken carcass also has some disadvantages:
- It can cause injury if your dog eats too hastily or swallows sharp bone fragments.
- It can cause digestive problems if your dog eats too much or too little of it or has an intolerance.
- It can contain bacteria that can lead to infections. You should therefore always pay attention to quality and hygiene.
Chicken carcass is a nutritious and tasty BARF product for your dog. It can bring him many health benefits if you feed it correctly. However, you should also be aware of the potential risks and always monitor your dog when it eats chicken carcass.
