Yes, duck wings are packed with calcium, phosphorous, and zinc. They are also an excellent source of amino acids. But cooked duck wings are off-limits to dogs as the cooked bones can break into fragments, causing mouth and intestinal injuries.

Benefits

health-benefits
  • Duck wings are bigger and meatier than chicken wings. Duck wings consist of soft bones and cartilage that make them a tasty and crunchy treat for dogs. They are packed with calcium, zinc, and phosphorus, which help keep a dog's immune system strong and bones healthy.
  • Duck wings are perfect for dogs with arthritis or growing dogs since they are high in chondroitin and glucosamine, natural compounds that help with bone and joint health.
  • Duck is considered a novel protein. Dogs with food sensitivities can also benefit from duck wings.
  • They are also an excellent source of amino acids, which are important for a dog's muscle growth.
  • Chewing on duck wings not only helps remove plaque and tartar but also helps dogs to be mentally stimulated.

Risks
