The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food - 500g Duck Gizzard

This single protein framework delivers an incredibly robust profile of essential macro and micro nutrients that support long term metabolic performance and vitality. Structurally, the gizzard is an incredibly dense, hardworking muscular organ used by birds to grind down tough food, meaning it contributes directly to the 80% muscle meat portion of your dog's bowl rather than counting toward the 10% secreting offal allowance. Duck gizzards provide an outstanding source of high quality poultry protein alongside a rich profile of essential fatty acids, glucosamine, iron, zinc, and B group vitamins (particularly vitamin B12) which are vital for supporting healthy nervous system maintenance, joint protection, and steady daily energy levels.

As a completely boneless and offal free product, these whole duck gizzards are classified as a complementary raw food item. This makes them a highly versatile asset for experienced raw feeders who prefer a hands on DIY approach to building their dog's meals. They serve as a wonderful foundational building block for balancing out high bone meals, managing beef free poultry diets, or acting as an engaging, high reward protein rotator that satisfies your dog's primal instinct to chew and process whole, firm cuts of fresh meat.

Suitable For

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; the small, firm whole gizzards are perfectly sized for small toy breeds and felines, yet highly rewarding as a quick, textured snack or meal addition for large and giant breeds.

Life Stage: Formulated for adult pets and older puppies or kittens from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for active working breeds, animals requiring natural joint support, or pets needing a clean, single protein alternative to standard chicken or beef.

Feeding Guide and How To Use

Dietary Balancing: This is a complementary, boneless raw ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure these gizzards are paired with an appropriate calcium source or raw bone, and rotated with different protein varieties per week, or supplemented with your own choice of secreting offal (like liver and kidney), seasonal fruits, and vegetables.

Serving Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 500g pack and portion the whole gizzards directly into your pet's bowl. If smaller serving amounts are required, allow the pack to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely separate, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer. They can also be served frozen solid as a crunchy summer snack.

Handling and Thawing: Store at 18°C and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the package inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 8 to 10 hours) before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat destroys the beneficial live digestive enzymes and alters the natural structure of the meat.

Storage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the duck gizzards in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 48 hours to ensure maximum freshness. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.

Safe Handling: This is a raw poultry product and should be handled with standard hygiene rules. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.
