Hey, Reader!

When I was doing a fresh round of meal prep using duck heads and told people at my work about it, I realized that even after years of raw feeding, duck heads still make people pause.

So I figured this was the perfect excuse to resurface an older post that’s still one of my most-read resources on raw meaty bones.

This batch included:

• duck heads and duck feet as raw meaty bones
• whole herring
• chicken breast
• rabbit heart & rabbit lung
• chicken liver
• beef spleen
• puréed veggies & fruit

It looks intense at first glance, I know. But for dogs who are used to chewing, duck heads are one of my favorite RMB options.

Here’s why:

• they’re edible bones
• they encourage proper chewing (not gulping)
• they work well for dogs who can't have chicken or turkey
• and yes—duck is considered a cooling protein in food energetics

If you’ve ever wondered:

• how much bone is actually in a duck head
• how to feed them safely
• what to do if your dog has never had one before
• how to store them properly

Happy raw feeding,
