Each 20g pack is sealed for freshness and offers a simple, high-quality way to reinforce good behavior without compromising nutrition.

High-Quality Protein for Essential Amino Acids
Duck Jerky delivers up to 78% crude protein with all essential amino acids your dog needs for strong muscle growth and tissue repair. This clean, concentrated protein source supports lean muscle development, physical recovery, and sustained energy across every life stage.
Supports Muscle Growth and Repair
Rich in complete protein and amino acids, duck jerky provides the building blocks for robust muscle development and efficient tissue recovery after activity or illness. This makes it ideal for active dogs and those needing post-recovery nutrition.
Improved Bone Strength from Iron and Minerals
Duck is naturally rich in iron, zinc, and phosphorus that support healthy bone mineral density and skeletal integrity. These bioavailable minerals strengthen bones and support calcium absorption for structural resilience at every age.
Improved Skin and Coat from Omega Fatty Acids
Duck naturally contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that nourish skin health and promote a glossy, resilient coat. These essential fats regulate inflammation and support skin barrier function, keeping your dog's coat vibrant and reducing irritation.
Hypoallergenic Novel Protein for Sensitive Dogs
Duck is classified as a novel protein, meaning most dogs have limited exposure to it and rarely develop allergic reactions. This makes it an excellent alternative for dogs with sensitivities to common proteins like chicken or beef, supporting digestive comfort and immune balance.
1. Use as a Training Reward
Duck jerky dog treats are ideal for positive reinforcement. Their rich flavor and soft chew make them a quick, clean reward during obedience or behavior training.
2. Add to Wet Food for Extra Crunch
Add duck jerky pieces to your dog’s wet food to create a crunchy contrast. This adds texture, boosts feeding excitement, and supports jaw use.
3. Open Palm Feeding for Calm and Controlled Eating
Feeding duck treats for dogs from an open palm helps teach gentle manners. It encourages calm behavior and builds trust between you and your pet.
4. Perfect for Interactive Bonding
Strengthen your bond by sharing duck jerky for dogs during quiet play or relaxed moments. This makes the treat part of meaningful connection time.
5. Engage Your Dog with Nose Work
Use broken pieces of duck jerky dog treats in scent games or snuffle mats. It turns the treat into a mentally stimulating reward through natural foraging behavior.
Intermittent or Supplemental Feeding
Feed duck jerky dog treats as an occasional reward, not a meal replacement. They are best suited for supplemental feeding to support training or bonding.
Adjust Portion Sizes Based on Dog’s Size and Activity
- Tailor the amount of duck jerky based on your dog’s weight, age, and energy levels. Active or larger dogs may tolerate slightly more, while smaller breeds need less.
- Use our Dog Calorie Calculator to get an approximate amount of calories your dog needs and adjust the treats accordingly.
Always Provide Fresh Water
Keep clean water accessible whenever offering duck treats for dogs. Proper hydration supports digestion and overall well-being during treat sessions.
Monitor Your Dog’s Weight and Health
Track your dog’s body condition when incorporating duck jerky for dogs into their routine. Adjust usage if you notice changes in weight, appetite, or behavior.
Limit Treats During Mealtime
Avoid feeding duck jerky dog treats alongside regular meals. Treats should account for no more than 10 to 15 percent of your dog’s daily caloric intake.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Keep the treats in a cool, dry area away from heat or direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard works best to maintain freshness and avoid exposure to temperature fluctuations.
Keep in Original Packaging
Always store the treat in its original packaging to protect it from air, moisture, and contaminants. The packaging is designed to help maintain the product’s freshness and quality.
Seal Properly After Use
After each use, make sure the package is tightly sealed to prevent air from getting in. This helps preserve the flavor and nutritional value of the treat, while also preventing it from drying out.
Use Within 6 Months of Opening
For the best quality and taste, it’s recommended to use the treat within 6 months after opening the package. While the treat will still be safe beyond this period, the flavor and texture may start to degrade.
Avoid Moisture Exposure
Moisture can affect the quality of the treat, leading to potential spoilage. Ensure that the treat is kept in a dry environment and that the packaging is fully sealed after use.

How do you prepare Duck Jerky for dogs?

Dehydrate the strips at 160°F to 167°F for about 10 to 13 hours, or bake them on a parchment-lined tray at 200°F for 2 to 3 hours until the texture becomes dry, leathery, and easy to break. Do not add salt, garlic, onion, oil, butter, sauces, spices, or seasoning.
How often can dogs eat Duck Jerky?
Dogs can eat Duck Jerky daily in controlled portions because it is a protein-rich novel meat treat that supports training, topping, bonding, chewing activity, and reward feeding without replacing balanced daily food. Small dogs can have 1/2 to 1 strip per day, while large dogs can have 1 to 2 strips per day, as long as treats stay within 10 to 15% of daily calories.
Are there any risks of feeding dogs Duck Jerky?
No, Duck Jerky is not risky for most dogs when it is plain, fully cooked, properly dehydrated, and served in the right amount because dog-safe duck jerky uses duck breast without fillers, additives, preservatives, artificial flavorings, or unsafe seasoning.

How much Duck Jerky can I give my dog?

Can I Feed Duck Jerky to My Cat as Well?
