Servings

serving-suggestions
  • Kangaroo necks are given raw to dogs by raw feeders as the bones are soft enough to chew.
  • If you wish to cook the kangaroo neck, you can boil it without seasoning. It's safer to strip the meat out and discard the bones. Cooked bones can splinter into shards in their mouth.
  • Dried kangaroo neck treats are a better option than cooked neck because they are dehydrated at low temperatures, so the bones break the same way raw bones do and do not splinter.
  • Always supervise your dog when he is chewing on bones. Remove the bone when it gets too small to avoid choking.
