The Dogs Butcher Raw Dog Food - Duck Mince Approx. 50% Bone

This specialized single protein formulation showcases the remarkable structural and nutritional power of high-quality British waterfowl. Sourced from trusted South West facilities, this recipe utilizes fresh duck carcass and wings to intentionally create an elevated bone ratio of approximately 50%. The soft, pliable nature of poultry bone provides an abundant, highly bioavailable source of natural calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for maintaining strong skeletal structures, supporting joint integrity, and regulating healthy cellular performance. This structural component is beautifully balanced by the remaining 50% of flavor-packed dark duck muscle meat, fat, and skin trim, delivering a rich profile of iron, selenium, essential B vitamins, and amino acids to assist with lean muscle maintenance.

As a high-bone mixture with 0% secreting organ content, this mince is classified as a complementary raw food item. This provides ultimate flexibility for experienced raw feeding enthusiasts who practice standard DIY customisation or follow the ancestral prey model template. Due to its elevated bone content, this 1kg block is not designed to be fed as a standalone meal. Instead, it serves as an invaluable structural building block, perfectly tailored for owners looking to increase the calcium levels in a dog's diet, firm up soft stools, or blend down precisely with pure boneless muscle meats and offal to achieve a perfectly customized daily ratio.

Suitable For

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; the coarse 13mm chunky mince texture is easily manageable for small toy breeds and highly satisfying for larger dogs.

Life Stage: Formulated for adult dogs and older puppies from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for dogs requiring a natural calcium boost, animals navigating a chicken-free novel allergen routine, or pets needing temporary stool-firming support.

Feeding Guide and How To Use

Dietary Balancing: This is a complementary raw ingredient. To achieve a complete and balanced daily diet, ensure this mince is mixed in appropriate ratios with clean boneless muscle meat (such as pure venison, beef, or turkey) and your own choice of secreting offal (5% liver and 5% other organs like kidney or spleen), alongside optional seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Serving Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 1kg pack and portion the required amount directly into your dog's bowl alongside your chosen boneless components. If smaller serving amounts are needed, allow the block to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely segment, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer.

Handling and Thawing: Store at -18°C and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the pack inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 10 to 12 hours) before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat completely destroys the delicate live digestive enzymes and causes the ground bone elements to harden, compromising digestion.

Storage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the mince 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 practices. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.
