Is turkey good for dogs?
It is a lean, well liked meat and most dogs take to it happily. Turkey is also useful because it is a step away from chicken without being anything exotic, which suits an owner who wants to change something without changing everything. Ours is air-dried with nothing added to it.
Which turkey treat suits a small dog?
The training treats or the pate. A turkey neck is a big chew and it is really meant for a medium or large dog, and the feet and wing tips sit in between. If your dog is under about 10kg, start small and work up rather than the other way round.
Are turkey treats fatty?
Some of them are, and we would rather say so. Turkey feet are 37.8% fat, wing tips 29.3% and necks 22.7%. The training treats are 14.3% and 71% protein, which is the lean end of the range. If your dog is watching their weight, the feet are the ones to walk past.
Which turkey chew lasts the longest?
A neck, comfortably. It is big, bone in and takes a proper session to get through. Wing tips are the quicker version of the same idea, and the feet go fastest of all, which is worth knowing before you buy a single one and wonder where it went.
Is the bone in turkey chews safe?
Ours are air-dried rather than cooked, and cooking is what makes a bone brittle enough to splinter. That said, every bone-in chew is a supervised one, and a dog who gulps rather than chews is better off with the training treats or the pate.
Are turkey treats suitable for puppies?
The training treats and the pate suit them from 4 weeks. The bone-in chews are from 12 weeks with supervision, and honestly a whole neck is a lot of chew for a young pup, so break the habit in gently with something smaller first.
