Can My Dog Eat Duck?

POSTED: 08/18/2023

Yes! Duck meat is a great source of protein, and it contains many other health benefits. Your dog will love it!

Protein is a requirement in all dog's diets. One of the best proteins for your dog is duck meat! Duck meat is full of amino acids. These amino acids are vital in the growth and continued health of your dog. It is full of fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6, which are important for your dog’s growth and immune function.

Other nutrients include B vitamins, iron, and monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These nutrients are helpful in keeping your dog energized and strong. If you have an older dog, duck meat can help benefit their cognitive function.

Duck is also one of the most popular and best alternatives to other meats and poultry if your dog is having trouble digesting more common proteins such as beef and chicken. If your dog is allergic to, or having difficulties with other proteins, duck may be the option for him/her. Although, it is always best to ask your vet if this is a suitable alternative.
