🧊 Safety & Storage
Refrigerate portions in airtight containers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight. Always serve at room temperature. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw duck. Consult your veterinarian before making dietary changes.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute duck with chicken or beef as this compromises the novel protein benefit for allergic dogs. Avoid replacing sweet potato with white potato if nightshade sensitivity is suspected. Never omit bone meal or calcium supplement as this creates dangerous calcium-phosphorus imbalance. Sunflower oil should not be replaced with olive or coconut oil without adjusting fatty acid ratios.
