Duck Heads look rather monstrous but any raw/fresh feeding advocate will understand and appreciate how their dogs salivate at the sight and smell of these delicious crunchy treats. The whole duck head is edible, from the base of the neck all the way to the beak. The beak is cartilage and is more chewy, while the head is made out of soft bone and skin and is more crunchy and fragrant. Buried in the head is the tastiest morsel of them all – the brain! For very small dogs, we recommend that it be chopped into half length-wise, or it might be just too much for their little mouths to handle. Mid-large dogs will enjoy it whole as a chew treat. Duck Head carries the benefits of duck meat, and is packed with protein, vitamins and minerals that go towards a healthy, happy pup. In TCM, duck is considered a cooling protein, which may help with inflammation and is widely considered to be safe for most dogs that have dietary restrictions.

Duck heads are safe for medium to large dogs to eat. They’re considered “raw meaty bones” and are a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron and amino acids. Duck meat is also a low-fat source of protein that’s frequently given to dogs with food allergies. Dehydrated duck heads are firm for dogs to chew on, which can help exercise their jaws and knock gunk off their teeth. Duck heads should never be boiled beforehand, since this can make the bones brittle and cause them to splinter. Even still, some dogs might try to swallow the bones in a duck head whole. This can pose a choking hazard, so monitor your dog closely if you decide to feed one to your pup. A vet can offer insight about your dog’s overall health and recommend foods to fulfill their nutritional needs.

Including the entire Duck Head into your pets diet is great because it is packed with protein, omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins, not to mention the crunch is great for dental health. Duck is also a great option for dogs with allergies. Medium to XL sized dogs are sure to love this treat packed with benefits.
