Be careful when feeding Kangaroo to your dog!
How good does this kangaroo meat look 🤤
Naturally organic & wild harvested, kangaroo is a great ethical protein for almost all dogs. It’s a big gamier than say, beef, but delicious nonetheless.
I did a quick google and there’s a bit of nonsense on the internet about kangaroo meat.
For example, one local pet food company says that roo is rich in omega 3, and is also low in fat. That doesn’t make any sense. Omegas ARE fats - you can’t have both those things!
There’s another Aussie pet food mob saying that with 2% fat, roo is the perfect choice for highly active dogs. Active dogs have higher energy needs, so feeding a diet with almost no fat is absolutely not a good choice. Healthy active dogs need fat in their diet.
This is why you can’t blindly trust information you read on the internet 🤦♂️
The key takeaway is that kangaroo is very low in fat - it’s about 98% lean. It’s very important when feeding roo to make sure there are other sources of fat in the diet.
I don’t recommend feeding kangaroo by itself. It’s way too lean.
We pair the beautiful roo in the picture with organic chicken, sashimi grade salmon and organic coconut oil to balance the fat profile.
Our Kangaroo & Chicken recipe is around 6-7% fat, so it’s perfect for dogs with lower calorie needs or on rotation with our other adult recipes. Yum!
