Chicken is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to more expensive meats at Christmas. It’s a lean source of protein that’s widely available and generally well-tolerated by dogs. Chicken provides essential amino acids and is particularly good for building and repairing muscle tissue. It’s also a source of Omega-6 fatty acids, which are beneficial for skin and coat health. When serving chicken to your dog, ensure it’s cooked thoroughly and free from bones, spices, or sauces. It can be shredded or cut into small, bite-sized pieces to make it easier for your pet to eat. Whether as part of their meal or as a treat, chicken is both nutritious and delicious for dogs.
