What's Up With Chicken Fat? 
At The Urban Dog we always have your pet’s health in mind. Research has shown that Chicken Fat is a highly digestible animal fat source and has high levels of linoleic (Omega-6) acid. Chicken fat not only provides a more natural source of Omegas fat in our foods, but also makes the food taste better. Chicken fat is a species appropriate, natural animal fat source and naturally provides your pet with essential fatty acids that they cannot produce on their own, but are needed for proper growth and development. In addition to all of the health driven properties of chicken fat, it also improves the overall taste of recipes – making them even more irresistible to your pet!
If you’re worried that your pet could have an allergic reaction to chicken fat, you should know that food allergies are an immune response to protein. A dog or cat with a true chicken allergy reacts to the protein in the chicken. As pure chicken fat contains no protein, it should not trigger the allergic reactions that chicken meat or chicken meal would in a pet who is allergic to chicken. The Urban Dog offers several foods that do not contain chicken or chicken meal.
Fats are a necessary part of a balanced diet for dogs and cats. If the balance of good fats in their daily diet are too low, dogs and cats can develop dry, itchy skin, a dull coat, diminished immune system and be more susceptible to other health concerns.
Choosing a food with the right fat sources will help your pet maintain their ideal body condition. Chicken fat provides a natural source of Vitamin E and Omega-6, is highly palatable to both dogs and cats and increases the aroma profile for your pet.
Conclusion: Don’t be afraid of chicken fat for a dog with chicken allergies. Start slowly adding your pets new food to their old food and transition over a 7- 10 days and monitor for a couple of weeks after full transition.
