Freeze Dried Duck

A whole-animal blend — muscle, organ, and bone — freeze-dried together. Richer than chicken, and the standard next step when chicken stops working.

• Ingredients: Whole duck. Nothing else.
• Suitable for: dogs and cats sensitive to chicken, protein rotation, high-value rewards
• Net weight: 3 oz (85 g)
• 35% fat — the richest product we make

Product detail

This is a whole-animal blend rather than a single cut. Muscle meat, organ, and bone are freeze-dried together, closer to what a carnivore would encounter eating prey than the muscle-only composition of most treats. Organ contributes concentrated vitamins and minerals that muscle does not carry; bone contributes calcium and phosphorus.

On the bone: freeze-drying removes moisture at very low temperatures rather than through heat, so bone retains its original structure rather than becoming brittle in the way cooked bone does. This is why whole-animal blends are freeze-dried rather than baked.

At 35% fat and 4,690 kcal/kg, duck is the richest and most calorie-dense product in our range. That is exactly why pets that ignore leaner treats respond to it, and also why portions should be smaller than for our chicken breast. If your pet is on a low-fat diet or has a history of pancreatitis, speak to your veterinarian first.

Duck is a distinct protein from chicken, and sensitivities commonly develop against proteins fed continuously over years. Maintaining a second protein in rotation is a reasonable precaution rather than a response to a problem already underway.

Feeding guidance

Intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Treats should account for no more than 10% of your pet's daily caloric intake, with the remaining 90% coming from a complete and balanced diet. Fresh water should always be available. Individual requirements vary — consult your veterinarian regarding your own pet.

• Cat: 2–3 pieces per day
• Dog under 20 lb: up to 4 pieces per day
• Dog 20–50 lb: up to 8 pieces per day
• Dog over 50 lb: up to 15 pieces per day

For smaller dogs and cats, break pieces into smaller portions. Whole-animal blends include organ, which is nutrient-dense — introduce gradually if your pet has not had organ meat before.

Supervision recommended. Contains bone.

Storage

Reseal tightly. Freeze-dried products draw moisture from the air and soften if left open. See the Best By date printed on the pouch.
