Our Duck Necks are natural, crunchy chews made from 100% Australian duck, slowly air-dried to create a satisfying chew dogs really enjoy.
Larger and more substantial than chicken necks, each Duck Neck is approximately 14cm long, with around 40 necks in every 1kg bag.
Duck Necks naturally contain meat, cartilage, connective tissue and edible bone. This gives your dog a combination of different textures to crunch and chew while also providing naturally occurring protein, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients.
They’re a great option when you’re looking for something more substantial than a small treat, without moving straight to an extremely hard, weight-bearing bone.

As this is a natural product, the size, weight and number of necks will vary between bags.
Duck Necks provide a very different chewing experience from either a small training treat or an extremely hard chew.
The neck contains bone, cartilage, connective tissue and meat, giving dogs different textures to crunch and work through.
Duck neck bones are also non-weight-bearing bones, so they aren’t as dense as large weight-bearing bones.
For many dogs, that makes them a useful option when you’re looking for a crunchy natural chew rather than something extremely hard.
Because Duck Necks contain edible bone, they naturally provide minerals including calcium and phosphorus.
Both are essential nutrients within a dog’s overall diet and play important roles in maintaining normal bones and teeth, along with numerous other functions throughout the body.
Duck Necks are a complementary treat, however, and shouldn’t be relied upon to balance your dog’s calcium or mineral requirements.
If you’re feeding a home-prepared or raw diet and using edible bones to balance that diet nutritionally, we’d recommend discussing the overall diet with your veterinarian or a qualified veterinary nutrition professional.
One of the reasons natural necks are popular is the chewing action they encourage.
As your dog crunches and chews the neck, the physical action creates mechanical contact with the teeth and gums. This can help with dental hygiene and provides a very different experience from simply eating a soft treat.
Australian natural-treat suppliers similarly position duck necks as chews that can help support dental hygiene through the mechanical action of chewing.
No chew should be considered a replacement for proper dental care, though. Regular dental checks and appropriate home dental care remain important.
We don’t just look at chews as food.
Chewing is a normal canine behaviour and giving dogs an appropriate outlet for it can form an important part of their daily enrichment.
A suitable natural chew gives your dog something constructive to focus on and allows them to engage in a normal behaviour in an appropriate way.
The key word there is suitable. Different dogs have very different chewing styles, so what works perfectly for one dog may not be appropriate for another.
Duck gives you another protein option alongside commonly fed proteins such as beef and chicken.
It’s sometimes marketed as a “novel protein”, but whether a protein is actually novel depends on the individual dog’s previous diet.
If your dog has never eaten duck, it may be novel to them. If they’ve regularly eaten duck-based foods or treats, it isn’t.
For dogs with diagnosed food allergies or those undertaking an elimination diet, always follow your veterinarian’s advice before introducing a new protein.
If your dog already enjoys our Chicken Necks, Duck Necks are a natural next step.
At approximately 14cm long, they’re generally larger and provide a more substantial chewing experience than chicken necks.
For smaller dogs or dogs that do better with a smaller chew, Chicken Necks may be the better option.
For medium and larger dogs, or dogs that simply work through chicken necks very quickly, Duck Necks can provide that little bit more to crunch through.
Ultimately, choose the product based on your individual dog’s size and chewing style, rather than breed alone.
If your dog enjoys our Duck Necks, there are several other options worth trying.
For a smaller neck with a similar crunchy chewing experience, have a look at our Chicken Necks.
For something completely different, our Duck Jerky Strips give you the same protein in an easy-to-portion treat.
And if you’re looking for small rewards rather than a chew, our Duck Jerky Cubes are approximately 1 gram each and are perfect for training and everyday reinforcement.
Rotating between different treats and chews gives your dog variety in texture, flavour and chewing experience.
Duck Necks contain real bone, so choosing an appropriate chew for your individual dog and supervising them is particularly important.
Always:
Duck Necks may not be suitable for dogs that habitually gulp or attempt to swallow chews whole.
Puppies can have very different chewing abilities depending on their age, size and development. If you’re unsure whether a bone-containing chew is appropriate for your puppy, speak with your veterinarian before feeding.
Because these are 100% natural Duck Necks, they aren’t going to look identical.
Individual necks will naturally vary in:
Our approximately 14cm length and 40 pieces per kilogram are guides, not guarantees. The product is sold by weight, so the number of necks in each bag will naturally vary.
Store sealed below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Reseal the bag after opening to help maintain freshness.
Best before: Up to 12 months from purchase when sealed and stored as directed.
There are approximately 40 Duck Necks per 1kg bag. Because they’re a natural product and the bag is sold by weight, the exact number will vary.
They’re approximately 14cm long, although natural variation in length, width and thickness is normal.
Generally, yes. Duck Necks are larger and more substantial than chicken necks, making them a good option for dogs that work through smaller necks very quickly.
The mechanical action of crunching and chewing can help support dental hygiene by creating physical contact with the teeth. However, natural chews aren’t a replacement for regular dental care.
Duck necks contain non-weight-bearing bone and aren’t as dense as large weight-bearing bones. They are nevertheless real bone, so dogs should always be supervised and the chew needs to be appropriate for the individual dog’s chewing style.
They may be appropriate for some puppies, depending on the puppy’s age, size, chewing ability and tendency to gulp. We wouldn’t describe any bone-containing chew as universally suitable for all puppies.
If your dog loves crunching their way through a natural chew, Duck Necks are a great option to have in the treat cupboard.
They’re 100% Australian duck, single ingredient and more substantial than chicken necks, with approximately 40 necks in every 1kg bag.
Whether you’re giving one as an occasional treat, using chewing as part of your dog’s enrichment or simply adding some variety to their natural chew rotation, they’re a simple product with nothing unnecessary added.
Give your dog a pat from us.
⚠️ Duck Necks contain real bone. Always supervise your dog when feeding and choose a chew appropriate for their size, age and individual chewing style. Dogs that gulp or attempt to swallow chews whole require particular care. Ensure fresh drinking water is available and feed treats as part of a balanced diet.
The information provided is general guidance and isn’t veterinary advice. If you have concerns about whether bone-containing treats are appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian.
