Turkey Necks for Dogs

Why choose turkey necks for dogs?

Raw turkey necks are more than a tasty chew. They provide natural protein, calcium, collagen, glucosamine, and essential amino acids to support everyday wellbeing.

Chewing raw bones can also support dental health by helping reduce plaque build-up as your dog gnaws. This natural chewing action gives dogs mental stimulation and can help satisfy their instinct to chew.

Turkey necks are larger than chicken necks, making them a suitable choice for many medium dogs and large dogs. They may not be suitable for very small dogs or dogs that gulp food, so always choose a treat that matches your dog’s size and eating style.

Are raw turkey necks safe for dogs??

Raw poultry bones are softer and more pliable than cooked bones. This is why raw turkey necks can be suitable for many dogs when fed correctly and under supervision.

Cooked bones are different. They can become brittle and may splinter, which increases the risk of injury or digestive issues. Never feed cooked turkey necks, hot bones, or bones from the table.

Always feed raw bones in a calm space and watch your dog while they chew. If your dog tends to swallow food whole, choose a larger size or contact our team for guidance.

A natural chew for dogs with sensitivities

Some dogs with sensitivities do better with simple, single-protein treats. Turkey necks may suit dogs that cannot tolerate beef, lamb, or other common proteins.

They may also be a helpful option for dogs with food sensitivities that show up as itchy skin, digestive discomfort, or ongoing ear and skin issues. Every dog is different, so introduce any new treat slowly.

We often hear from pet owners who are unsure where to start because there are so many opinions about raw feeding. Our advice is simple: choose quality, feed appropriately, and monitor your dog.

Quality you can trust from Somerford Raw & Natural

At Somerford Raw & Natural, we believe pets deserve real food made with care. Our turkey necks are sourced fresh from the Hunter Valley, then cryovaced and frozen to protect quality and freshness.

They are raw, natural, and made without salt, butter, sauces, or seasoned coatings. You should never add salt, butter, stock, or seasoning before feeding.

Keep your turkey necks in the freezer until needed, then defrost safely in the fridge. Once handled, wash your hands, clean any surfaces, and follow standard food-safe handling to reduce bacteria risk.

How to feed raw turkey necks

Feed turkey necks as a treat or chew, not as a full meal replacement. They are a natural source of calcium and chewing enjoyment, but your dog still needs a balanced diet.

Serve thawed, raw, and cold from the fridge. Do not cook, microwave, boil, roast, or serve them hot.

Choose the right size for your dog. Medium dogs and large dogs usually manage turkey necks well, but supervision is always important.

After feeding, do a quick post-chew clean-up. Pick up any leftovers, clean the area, and return unused portions to the fridge only if they have been handled safely.

FAQs about our turkey necks for dogs

Are turkey necks good for dogs?

Yes, raw turkey necks can be a great treat for many dogs. They provide protein, calcium, collagen, glucosamine, and essential amino acids.

They also encourage chewing, which can support dental health and help keep teeth clean by reducing plaque build-up.

Are turkey necks better than chicken necks?

It depends on your dog. Turkey necks are larger than chicken necks, so they are often better suited to medium dogs and large dogs.

Chicken necks may suit smaller dogs, but some dogs swallow them too quickly. Always match the chew to your dog’s size and chewing habits.

Can I feed cooked turkey necks to my dog?

No. Cooked poultry bones can become brittle and may splinter.

Only feed raw turkey necks. Never feed cooked, hot, seasoned, or table scraps with bones.

Do turkey necks help keep teeth clean?

Raw turkey necks can help keep teeth clean through natural chewing. The texture helps scrape against the teeth and may reduce plaque.

They should still be part of a broader dental care routine, especially for dogs with existing dental disease.

Are turkey necks suitable for dogs with food sensitivities?

They may be suitable for some dogs with food sensitivities, especially if your dog tolerates turkey well. Turkey is a single protein, which can make it easier to manage sensitivities.

If your dog has itchy skin, digestive upset, or known allergies, introduce turkey necks slowly and speak with your vet if symptoms continue.

Can puppies have turkey necks?

Some older puppies may manage raw turkey necks, but it depends on their size, chewing ability, and stage of development.

For puppies, we recommend asking our team or your vet before introducing raw bones.

How should I store turkey necks?

Store turkey necks in the freezer until you need them. Defrost them in the fridge, not on the bench.

Once defrosted, keep them cold and use standard raw food handling. Wash hands, bowls, surfaces, and any area where your dog has eaten.

Can I add stock, butter, or seasoning?

No. Do not add stock, butter, salt, sauces, or seasoned coatings.

Turkey necks should be fed plain and raw. Added ingredients can upset your dog’s stomach and may not be safe.

Are turkey necks suitable for all dogs?

No single chew suits every dog. Turkey necks may not suit dogs that gulp food, dogs with dental problems, or dogs with a history of digestive issues.

If you are unsure, contact Somerford Raw & Natural before feeding. We can help you choose a safer option.

How often can dogs have turkey necks?

That depends on your dog’s size, diet, activity level, and tolerance. Many owners feed raw bones as an occasional chew rather than every day.

Turkey necks should complement a balanced diet, not replace complete meals.

Where do your turkey necks come from?

Our turkey necks are sourced fresh from the Hunter Valley. They are prepared, cryovaced, and frozen to help protect freshness and quality.

We do not use random butcher scraps, fillers, or heavily processed ingredients.

Why do dogs enjoy turkey necks so much?

Chewing is natural for dogs. Turkey necks give them texture, flavour, and a satisfying crunch.

For generations, dogs have enjoyed meaty bones as part of a species-appropriate way of eating. Our turkey necks give that instinct a safe, raw, and natural outlet when fed correctly.
