Produced by the DEFRA approved Devon manufacturer using ethically sourced British livestock, this single ingredient product consists of 100% human grade boar. Departing from standard ground or minced textures, this selection is packed as large, satisfyingly substantial portions of whole muscle meat. This unique presentation aligns perfectly with the brand philosophy of offering honest, unadulterated components, giving owners complete control to feed the chunks whole for an engaging tearing experience or portion them precisely at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis single protein framework features an exceptional nutritional profile that supports long term muscle development and daily vitality. Boar meat is sourced from mature, entire male pigs over one year of age, making it distinct from traditional pork which typically comes from younger animals around six months old. This difference in maturity yields a meat that is characteristically darker in color, deeper in flavor, and naturally much leaner. Boar provides a fantastic source of high quality red meat protein, loaded with essential amino acids, B vitamins, zinc, and bioavailable iron for healthy blood formation. Because these chunks are sourced from older livestock, the fat content can naturally vary; the manufacturer maintains up to a 20% fat allowance in this recipe, rendering it an excellent energy dense fuel option for high performance dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a completely boneless and offal free product, these boar chunks 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 dogs bowls. They serve as a wonderful foundational building block for balancing out high bone meals, setting up personalized elimination trials, or acting as an engaging, high reward protein rotator that satisfies your dogs primitive instinct to chew, pull, and process whole fresh meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs and working dogs. Strictly not for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreed Size: All breeds and sizes; the large whole chunks can be effortlessly sliced down for small toy breeds or left whole as a satisfying chewing challenge for medium, large, and giant breeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife Stage: Formulated for adult dogs and older puppies from 24 weeks onwards who have strong adult teeth and mature jaw structures.

Adjust the exact amount based on your dogs workload, age, metabolic rate, and physical condition. Owners should be mindful of the natural fat variance if their dog requires a strict low fat routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary Balancing: This is a complementary, boneless raw ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure these chunks are paired with an appropriate calcium source or raw bone, and rotated with 4 to 5 different protein varieties per week, or supplemented with your own choice of offal (such as liver and kidney), seasonal fruits, and vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 1kg pack and portion the chunks directly into your dogs bowl, or cut to your preferred dimensions using a sharp kitchen knife. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling 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 10 to 12 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the boar chunks 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: This is a raw meat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555850015054,"sku":"TDBBC","price":8.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/BoarChunk.png?v=1787822748","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/the-dogs-butcher-raw-dog-food-boar-chunks-1kg","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
