Is Duck Meat Good for Dogs?

By Johnny / Nutrition & Feeding / May 18, 2022

We all want the best for our dogs—and that includes their diet. While many pet owners opt for beef or chicken, it’s not always the best choice: especially for dogs with a sensitive digestive system. Duck is a lesser known alternative and has many health benefits—which we’ll explain in this article. As well as the benefits of duck meat, Hypro Premium will share how to introduce it to your pet’s diet. If you’re looking to give your pet a boost of energy while supporting their growth, read on!

Can Dogs Eat Duck Meat?

Duck is often considered to be a delicacy, and can be expensive. However, duck meat is lower in fat than many other types of meat, making it a healthier choice for dogs who are overweight or have diabetes. Be sure to cook it thoroughly, or buy duck meat kibble; raw duck can lead to foodborne illness. Start with small amounts, and if your dog does not have any adverse reactions, you can slowly introduce it as a daily meal.

Is Duck Meat Good for Dogs?

This is a question that many dog owners ask, and for good reason. However, many holistic veterinarians recommend duck meat for dogs. Because duck is considered a “yin” food in Chinese medicine, it can have a cooling and calming effect for pets with inflammatory conditions like allergies, cancer and arthritis.

Duck has plenty of phosphorous (which boosts the health of bones and teeth), and amino acids (for strong muscles). It also contains potassium, which allows enzymes, muscles and nerves to function. Duck, for dogs, is great for the immune system; it includes antioxidants such as zinc and selenium which help maintain thyroid function.

Duck Meat Benefits

Even if your dog is in good health, duck dog food is a great choice: with a wealth of health benefits.

Food Allergies

Duck is not only tasty: it’s perfect for dogs with food sensitivities and allergies. For pets with beef and chicken allergies, duck dog food can add some variety to your dog’s diet—as well as alleviating any gastrointestinal upsets or skin irritation.

Protein

When dogs eat duck, they gain the benefit of high animal protein content. Being rich in iron, duck is a lean source of protein that is easy to digest.

Healthy Fats

Duck is naturally higher in fat—but low in saturated fat! Because duck fat contains healthy fatty acids, this is a great choice for energetic dogs. In particular, omega-3 fatty acids will help your dog maintain a healthy coat.

B Vitamins

Duck dog foods are rich in B vitamins: which protect your dog from cancer. Vitamin B3 (also known as niacin) can help control your dog’s glucose levels, and aids the conversion of protein, fat and carbohydrates into energy. Vitamin B6—also called pyridoxine—supports cardiovascular health, and your pet’s energy metabolism.

Its nutrients support bone and lean muscle mass, as well as boosting your puppy’s immune system. Duck meat for dogs can boost joint health, and the growth of a healthy and lustrous coat.
