What is kangaroo lung?

Kangaroo lung is a by-product of kangaroo meat production. It is obtained from the lungs of the kangaroo, which are dried after slaughter and cut into small pieces. Kangaroo lung is a natural chew for dogs that is rich in protein and low in fat. It also contains important minerals such as iron, zinc and selenium.

What are the benefits of kangaroo lung for dogs?

Kangaroo lung has several benefits for dogs that make it a popular alternative to other meats. Firstly, kangaroo lung is very well tolerated as it is hypoallergenic. This means that it does not trigger any allergies or intolerances, which can often occur with other types of meat such as beef or pork. Secondly, kangaroo lung is very tooth-friendly, as it cleans your dog's teeth and massages the gums when chewed. This can prevent tartar build-up and bad breath. Kangaroo lung is also very tasty and can improve your dog's eating behavior.

What are the disadvantages of kangaroo lung for dogs?

Kangaroo lung also has some disadvantages for dogs that you should consider before feeding it to your dog. Firstly, kangaroo lung is very high in calories and can lead to obesity if given in too high a dose. You should therefore pay attention to how much kangaroo lung you give your dog and adjust the amount to its weight and activity level. On the other hand, kangaroo lung is very odorous and can leave an unpleasant smell in your home. You should therefore pay attention to where you give your dog the kangaroo lung and how you store it.

 

Kangaroo lung is an interesting snack for dogs that has several benefits for your dog's health and well-being. It is hypoallergenic, tooth-friendly and tasty. However, it also has some disadvantages that you should not ignore. It is high in calories, has a strong odor and is not available everywhere.
