Health benefits of chicken for your pet

Chicken Breast on the plate

Poultry is a great source of protein that builds lean muscle mass in dogs and cats. Delivers Omega 6 fatty acids that help sustain healthy skin and shiny coats. It’s also a good source of essential amino acids and glucosamine, which helps promote bone health.

​

  • Pet owners should consult with a veterinarian before feeding raw chicken to dogs since uncooked chicken can pose a salmonella risk to pets. 

  • Chicken that you prepare at home should be fully cooked without any seasoning, onions, or garlic, and cooking methods can include roasting, poaching, grilling, or baking.

  • Some dogs are allergic to chicken (it’s actually the third most popular food allergy among canines).
