Darwin’s Duck Necks Review
Darwin’s free-range duck necks – what I think
I feed my dog Remy a raw diet, but even if you don’t feed your dog raw food, he can still enjoy the benefits of an occasional raw treat.
Duck necks are considered “raw meaty bones.” Raw poultry bones such as chicken, turkey and duck bones are soft and pliable, making them easy for dogs to digest.
Cooked bones are hard and sharp, so you only want to give your dog raw bones.
I recommend the duck necks from Darwin’s because raw duck necks are a convenient and safe way to introduce “raw meaty bones” to your dog’s diet. They’re a good option for dogs and puppies of all sizes.
There’s also something I enjoy about enjoying my dog crunching on a raw meaty bone! eating raw food is natural for dogs, and the duck necks from Darwin’s make my weimaraner so happy!
Don’t be surprised by how quickly your dog might chew up and eat a duck neck! Remy loves them, and he eats his in just a few minutes.
I know it’s hard for some dog owners to get used to the idea of feeding their dogs raw bones because I used to worry about this too. but don’t worry, raw duck necks are a very safe option for your dog.

Nackdelar:
There really aren’t any cons to the raw duck necks except a few common sense things to keep in mind when feeding any type of raw food or any type of bone or chew.
You want to introduce new treats slowly to your dog’s diet to avoid an upset tummy, especially if your dog is not used to raw food.
Any type of bone, chew or rawhide for dogs has a slight choking risk, so make sure to supervise your dog.
All raw meaty bones are a bit “gross” and messy so you may want to feed them outside, on a towel or in your dog’s crate.
The duck necks may also not be for you if they’re out of your budget. However, they still might make a great treat for your dog every now and then! I hope you’ll enter our giveaway by leaving a comment at the end of this article!

How to feed a dog a raw duck neck
There is a small choking risk when you give your dog any type of chew, bone, rawhide or toy. With duck necks, this risk is slightly higher for larger breeds since big dogs are more likely to try to swallow a duck neck whole.
Safety tips when feeding your dog raw duck necks:
1. try holding the duck neck while your dog chews it (if he is not possessive).
This will help him learn to slowly crunch up the bone a bit before swallowing.
Don’t be alarmed if your dog does swallow large chunks of the duck neck. As long as it “fits,” your dog will be just fine. For example, Remy will crunch upEn hel kycklinglår bara två eller tre gånger innan du sväljer, och sedan “Down It Goes!” Ingen stor grej.
2. Ett annat alternativ: Ge din hund lite utrymme, men övervaka.
Detta är motsatsen till ovan, men fungerar bättre för vissa hundar. Om hunden har lite utrymme, kommer han mer benägna att tugga och äta sin anka hals långsamt kontra att försöka snabbt äta den så att ingen “stjäl” det! (Silly Dogs.) Den här metoden fungerar bäst för mitt lilla matmonster, Remy.
3. Hacka upp andhalsen innan du matar.
Detta borde inte vara nödvändigt, men om du föredrar att hugga ankhalsen lite innan du matar dem kan du göra det. På samma sätt föredrar vissa råmatare att slipa ankahalsar i en köttkvarn.
4. Mata ankahalsarna delvis frysta.
Om ankahalsen fortfarande är något frusen, kommer din hund naturligtvis att sakta ner lite för att krossa den innan du äter. Nästan all rå mat som jag ger min hund är delvis fryst av detta skäl.
Rå ankahalsar för katter
Kan du ge din katt råa anka halsar?
Ja, vissa katter kommer att äta råa ankahalsar medan andra kan vara mer picky. Min kattscout är inte på en rå diet, och han är inte intresserad av råa köttben.
Min andra Cat Beamer (RIP, Buddy) skulle ha älskat en anka hals! Jag gav honom råa kalkonhalsar ett par gånger och han kunde inte tro på lyckan!
Ankahalsar är ett ännu bättre alternativ för katter eftersom ankahalsar vanligtvis är mindre än kalkonhalsar.
Uppenbarligen vill du introducera nya livsmedel till din katt långsamt för att undvika en upprörd mage. Det är också bäst att övervaka när dina husdjur äter råa ben.
