Premium Wild Boar Raw Mince – The Ancestral Novel Protein by Durham's
Take your dog's raw feeding to the next level with Durham's Wild Boar Mince. Unlike domestic pork, wild boar is a lean, active game meat that offers a unique nutritional profile. As a "novel protein," it is highly recommended for dogs with food sensitivities or those following an exclusion diet to identify allergens.
Sourced from high-quality stock, this 454g block provides a rich, intense flavour that appeals even to the most discerning or fussy eaters. It is a powerful source of lean energy that supports your dog’s natural vitality.
Health Benefits of Wild Boar for Dogs
Feeding Durham's Wild Boar Mince provides several key physiological advantages:
- Hypoallergenic Alternative: Because wild boar is an exotic protein, most dogs have not developed an intolerance to it, making it perfect for resolving itchy skin and digestive distress.
- Rich in Monounsaturated Fats: Contains healthy fats that support heart health and provide a sustained energy source for active dogs.
- High Protein, Low Calorie: Wild boar is significantly leaner than farm-raised pork, offering high-quality amino acids for muscle maintenance without excessive fat.
- Mineral Powerhouse: Naturally high in Zinc, Iron, and Selenium, which are essential for a robust immune system and cellular health.
- Vitamin B Complex: Packed with Thiamine, Riboflavin, and Niacin to support a healthy nervous system and metabolic function.
