What’s the best meat for dogs?

By Johnny / Nutrition & Feeding / February 2, 2022

There are countless benefits for giving your dog a diet rich in healthy meats. To help you find the right flavour for your pet, and to ensure they are getting the nutritional quantities they require to stay happy and healthy, here’s our guide on feeding different meats to different dogs.

1. Chicken

Dogs absolutely love chicken – and for good reason! It’s high in protein, is packed with essential vitamins like B3 and B6 as well as phosphorous and selenium. Best of all, chicken is full of nutrients that help support your dog’s inside as much as its outside. That means healthier skin, a more lustrous coat and greater bone health.

2. Salmon

Supporting the immune system, decreasing inflammation and ensuring your dog’s skin and coat remain in good health – these are just some of the many benefits of delicious salmon. A fantastic source of protein, salmon is enriched with lots of omega-3 fatty oils and is rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals.

3. Kangaroo

The lack of fat on this lean meat means kangaroo is a fantastic chewy treat for pets. But it’s also a premium-quality meat in dry food. The low-fat content is great for helping pooches shed a few kilos, and it’s also rich in B vitamins, omega-3, iron and zinc for overall wellbeing.

4. Lamb

Whether you’ve got a growing puppy or an adult dog who needs a more refined diet, lamb is a great protein to pick. It contains dietary fats to help your pet sustain energy over the course of the day, and it maintains skin, fur and muscle health. It’s also full of B12 and B3 vitamins, omega-3 and omega-6 acids, and selenium and zinc.

5. Turkey

Turkey is a highly digestible protein, which is perfect for dogs who may struggle with eating and processing other types of meat. It’s a lean meat that is rich in iron, selenium and zinc, and it’s ideal for dogs that need support to maintain muscle – particularly active and working dog breeds.

How to pick the right food for your dog

While many dogs will eat anything you put in their bowl, others are more selective. You will also need to consider any allergies they may have, as well as their propensity for getting an upset stomach after altering their regular diet.

The most important point is to choose a high-quality dry food made from premium products. It should taste and smell enjoyable to your pup, it should use only the finest meat products, and it should be naturally made so that is meets the health needs and breed requirements for your dog.

Hypro Premium understands the importance of keeping your dog happy and healthy with the right food, which is why we’re dedicated to crafting only the finest premium dry food for dogs. Find out more about our grain-free products and explore our range today.
