Dog Food Recipes with Videos/Images: Which Chicken Cut Should I Choose for My Dog?

Looking to cook for your dog at home? Chicken is one of the easiest and most loved proteins you can prepare. In fact, our simple recipes take less than 30 minutes to cook and serve. Add our Barky Sprinklers for an extra dash of taste that dogs love!

But here’s something every pet parent should know: Not all chicken cuts are created equal—and the right one can make a big difference in your dog’s health.

🍗 Cut 1 – Chicken Curry Cut (With Bone)

Why choose Chicken Curry Cut for your dog?

1. Curry cut includes small bone-in pieces, which release deep flavors into the meal.
2. Dogs love it for the taste, and the bones (when cooked properly) can enhance their eating experience.
3. The broth is rich in gelatin and collagen, which supports joint and bone health.
4. It has a balanced mix of fat and muscle, and you can ask your butcher to remove the fat for a leaner option.
5. Contains essential minerals and amino acids.

When to avoid Chicken Curry Cut:

1. If your dog has liver or kidney issues, opt for leaner cuts like breast meat.
2. Improper deboning can lead to bone splintering, a serious hazard.
3. Excessive use can cause weight gain.
4. Best suited for healthy dogs aged 1–5 years.

🍗 Cut 2 – Chicken Boneless / Breast

Why choose Chicken Boneless for your dog?

1. Super easy to cook—just drop it in boiling water and you're done!
2. Pairs perfectly with veggies like pumpkin, carrot, or beans.
3. Low in sodium, high in protein, and gentle on the stomach.
4. Ideal for dogs on weight management diets or those with liver/kidney sensitivities.
5. Highly digestible.

When not to choose Chicken Boneless:

1. It’s not very flavorful—some dogs may find it bland.
2. Lacks calcium and phosphorus, so make sure to add a supplement (like our Barky Sprinklers).
3. Shouldn’t be the sole protein source long-term; rotate with eggs, paneer, or other proteins.

🍗 Cut 3 – Chicken Thigh

Why choose Chicken Thigh for your dog?

1. Considered one of the tastiest parts—juicy and rich in flavor.
2. High in protein, gelatin, and essential minerals.
3. Easy to cook—just boil, remove the single bone, and serve with veggies like pumpkin, beetroot, or carrot. (Short on time? Try our ready-made dog juices 🍹.)

When to avoid Chicken Thigh:

1. Like boneless cuts, it’s low in calcium—supplement accordingly.
2. If your dog has pancreatitis, avoid it due to its high fat content.
3. Missing the single bone during prep can be risky—always double-check.

Best for healthy, active dogs with no existing medical issues.
