Known Health Benefits of Chicken for Dogs
Feeding Durham's Chicken Mince provides several key nutritional advantages for your canine companion:
- Optimal Muscle Maintenance: Chicken is rich in high-quality protein and amino acids, specifically glucosamine, which helps build lean muscle and supports long-term joint health.
- Weight Management: Being naturally lower in fat than red meats, chicken is an excellent choice for dogs on a weight loss plan or senior dogs with lower activity levels.
- Rich in Vitamin B6: Plays a vital role in supporting a healthy metabolism, cardiovascular health, and the central nervous system.
- Natural Source of Phosphorus: An essential mineral that works alongside calcium to maintain strong bones and healthy kidney function.
- Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Helps to maintain healthy skin and promotes a soft, shiny coat.
Preparation & Safe Handling
This product is a complementary feed. To provide a complete and balanced 80/10/10 meal, we recommend mixing this mince with appropriate ratios of bone and offal.
Safe Defrosting: To ensure maximum food safety and contain any natural juices, always defrost this 454g block in a sealed container at the bottom of your fridge. Thaw slowly overnight and use within 48 hours of defrosting. Always wash hands, bowls, and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw meat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chicken mince suitable for puppies?
Yes! Chicken is often the first protein introduced to puppies because it is very gentle on the digestive system and provides the essential amino acids needed for rapid growth.
Does this mince contain bone?
This specific mince is a meat-only product. For a balanced diet, you should ensure you are adding the appropriate amount of bone (approx. 10%) elsewhere in the diet.
How many 454g blocks should I order?
This depends on your dog's weight. Most adult dogs eat 2-3% of their body weight per day. Since these are sold as individual 454g blocks, you can easily calculate exactly how many you need for your weekly prep.
