Our whole chicken patties contain the entire bird except the head, feet, feathers, and intestines. On average, the patties are composed of approximately 66% muscle meat, 7% bone, 8% organs (lungs, liver, heart, and kidneys), 7% blood, and 10% fat. Other than the vegetables and fruit in our dinners, we do not add anything to our foods. Chicken is one of the most popular raw diets, often chosen for its lower cost. Compared to other whole animal diets, it is not as nutrient-rich. Chickens store most of their fat in a layer under the skin and in the body cavity, and because the skin is usually included, chicken tends to be higher in fat than many other species. This fat contains higher amounts of omega-6 fatty acids. Diets higher in chicken fat may be unsuitable for less active dogs or for those with inflammatory conditions or skin issues.
