Duck meat meal

Benefits of duck meal for dogs

Duck meal has several benefits for dogs that make it a good source of protein. Firstly, it is hypoallergenic, which means that it rarely causes allergies or intolerances. This is because duck meat is one of the so-called "exotic" meats that dogs do not eat as often and are therefore less sensitive to. Duck meal is also rich in essential amino acids, which are important for muscle building and cell regeneration. It also contains a lot of iron, which is important for blood formation and oxygen transport.

Disadvantages of duck meal for dogs

However, duck meal also has some disadvantages that you should consider before feeding it to your dog. For one thing, it is very high in calories and can lead to overweight and obesity if consumed in excessive quantities. Secondly, it is not always clear which parts of the duck are used in the meat meal. Some manufacturers also use bones, feathers, beaks or other by-products, which can reduce the nutritional value and put a strain on digestion. It is therefore important to pay attention to the quality and declaration of the duck meal.

How is duck meal fed correctly?

Duck meal can be found in both dry and wet food. If you feed your dog duck meal, you should make sure that it is not the only source of protein, but is combined with other types of meat or vegetable proteins. This will ensure a balanced diet and prevent deficiency symptoms. In addition, the amount of food should be adapted to the dog's energy requirements and activity level to avoid obesity. An alternative to duck meal is fresh or shredded duck meat, which can be fed raw or cooked. This is particularly interesting for barfers who want to offer their dog a natural diet.
