Wilder Duck is a single-protein raw meal, and the duck comes from a farm with a serious reputation. Wilder source it from an award-winning farm, acclaimed by Michelin star chefs as the best in the world.

That's an unusual sentence to be writing about dog food, and it's the reason this one is worth knowing about. Duck and nothing else in the tray, made to an 80/10/10 BARF ratio: 80% duck meat, 10% duck offal split evenly between liver and heart, and 10% duck bone. The meat does the everyday work, the liver and heart bring the natural vitamins and minerals, and the bone brings the calcium. It runs at 17.9% protein and 13.6% crude fat.

Duck is the one most dogs haven't had much of. Chicken, beef and lamb turn up in nearly everything, but duck stays comparatively unusual, which is exactly why people reach for it when they're working out what suits their dog. Being single-protein, this one makes that straightforward: one meat, and you can see precisely what's gone in the bowl.

It's also a proper treat as far as most dogs are concerned. Duck is a richer, darker meat with plenty of flavour, and it tends to go down well with dogs who've turned their nose up at paler things.

It's grain free with no artificial preservatives, and it comes frozen fresh in a tray to lock in quality. Defrost overnight in the fridge, use within three days, and don't refreeze.

It lives in our freezer here in Dunfermline, so it's collection or local delivery around Fife rather than posted out. Working through proteins to find one that suits your dog? Visit us in-store and we'll help you go about it in a sensible order.

Frequently Asked Questions

An award-winning farm that Michelin star chefs have called the best in the world. That's Wilder's own line about their own supply, and it's not something you often see attached to a bag of dog food. It's the reason this tray sits alongside the other duck in our freezer rather than instead of it.
Often, yes, and duck is one of the more useful swaps because plenty of dogs have never had it. It isn't a guarantee, though. Duck is still poultry, so a dog who reacts to chicken can occasionally react to duck as well. Most are fine, some aren't.
The way to find out is to feed duck on its own for a stretch and watch how they go, which is exactly what a single-protein tray is for. If it doesn't settle things, the next move is usually away from poultry altogether, to something like lamb, fish or venison. Come in and tell us what you've already tried and we'll work through it in order with you rather than guessing.
You'll find that argued both ways online, which isn't much help to anyone. Here's the actual figure for this one: 13.6% crude fat, printed on the pack. That puts it in the middle of our raw shelf, richer than the lighter chicken blends and lighter than the beef. A lot of the fat people associate with duck sits in the skin rather than the meat.
Comparatively, yes. Chicken, beef and lamb are in most things a dog eats over a lifetime, and duck simply isn't, which is why it comes up so often when people are narrowing down what suits their dog. It's the same reason we keep it in stock.
Both are single protein and neither has chicken in it, so they do a similar job. The turkey is the organic one. The duck is the less commonly fed of the two, and it's the one with the farm behind it. On fat the turkey is richer at 17.7% against 13.6%. Plenty of people rotate the pair.
Often, yes. Duck is darker and richer than chicken or turkey with a good deal more smell to it, and that's usually what wins over a dog who's been picking at their food. No promises, because fussy dogs are fussy dogs. Start with a 500g tray rather than a kilo and come and tell us how you got on.
