We carry both wet and dry duck dog foods that will give your fur-baby something truly delicious to snack on! Plus, duck is a fantastic novel protein choice for dogs who may have allergies or intolerance to more common proteins like chicken or beef!
Protein
Protein is an essential nutrient for dogs to help sustain healthy muscles, skin, coats and other tissues. While most pet owners feed their pups meat-based dog foods like chicken or beef for protein intake, some pet owners may seek alternative options due to food sensitivities or intolerances – duck-based dog foods can be an ideal way to provide your pup with essential nutrition!
Duck protein is highly digestible, offering your pet access to amino acids that help them build lean muscle. Furthermore, duck is packed with iron which plays a vital role in transporting oxygen throughout their bodies. Furthermore, duck is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which support skin and coat health for your pet.
Duck offers a selection of B vitamins that can boost energy levels and overall health in dogs. This includes vitamin B3 and niacin for blood sugar regulation and conversion of protein/fat into energy production; vitamin B6/pyridoxine provides metabolic support as well as heart protection.
When selecting a diet containing duck as the main ingredient, it’s essential that the recipe be well-rounded and nutritionally complete for your pup. Consider selecting one with plenty of nutritious fruits, vegetables, grains and protein sources as well as both dry and wet food options; each may offer unique advantages to their wellness.
Wet foods provide more hydration and flavor for puppies while dry foods may be easier for older dogs or puppies to digest and store efficiently. No matter which option you select, always consult your veterinarian prior to making significant dietary changes for your pet.
