Is organic chicken good for dogs?#
Yes, in the right amount. Organic chicken is a lean protein that most dogs digest easily, making it a popular starting point when introducing raw or fresh food.
It supplies high-quality protein for muscle maintenance along with B vitamins and minerals, and it's lower in fat than many red meats, which suits dogs who need a gentler diet.
How we use it#
We use organic chicken across a number of our balanced raw meals, often paired with vegetables, bone and organ meat to keep the nutritional profile complete.
It also features in some of our handmade treats and is one of the proteins we most often recommend to owners moving their dog onto fresh food for the first time.
Anything to watch?#
Introduce chicken gradually alongside your dog's current food, especially if they've never had it before, and watch for itching, ear infections or digestive upset, which can indicate a sensitivity.
Always keep raw chicken bones firm and appropriately sized, and never feed cooked bones, which can splinter. If your dog has a known chicken allergy, ask your vet before introducing it.
