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?
- Curry cut includes small bone-in pieces, which release deep flavors into the meal.
- Dogs love it for the taste, and the bones (when cooked properly) can enhance their eating experience.
- The broth is rich in gelatin and collagen, which supports joint and bone health.
- It has a balanced mix of fat and muscle, and you can ask your butcher to remove the fat for a leaner option.
- Contains essential minerals and amino acids.
When to avoid Chicken Curry Cut:
- If your dog has liver or kidney issues, opt for leaner cuts like breast meat.
- Improper deboning can lead to bone splintering, a serious hazard.
- Excessive use can cause weight gain.
- Best suited for healthy dogs aged 1–5 years.
🍗 Cut 2 – Chicken Boneless / Breast
Why choose Chicken Boneless for your dog?
- Super easy to cook—just drop it in boiling water and you're done!
- Pairs perfectly with veggies like pumpkin, carrot, or beans.
- Low in sodium, high in protein, and gentle on the stomach.
- Ideal for dogs on weight management diets or those with liver/kidney sensitivities.
- Highly digestible.
When not to choose Chicken Boneless:
- It’s not very flavorful—some dogs may find it bland.
- Lacks calcium and phosphorus, so make sure to add a supplement (like our Barky Sprinklers).
- 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?
- Considered one of the tastiest parts—juicy and rich in flavor.
- High in protein, gelatin, and essential minerals.
- 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:
- Like boneless cuts, it’s low in calcium—supplement accordingly.
- If your dog has pancreatitis, avoid it due to its high fat content.
- Missing the single bone during prep can be risky—always double-check.
Best for healthy, active dogs with no existing medical issues.
