Quick answer: Kangaroo is a lean, single protein meat that many Australian owners choose for dogs with sensitive stomachs or dogs that have not eaten it before. Kangaroo jerky is a soft treat for training, and kangaroo tendon is a longer lasting chew. Always check with your vet about any food sensitivities.
Why choose kangaroo?
- Novel protein. Many dogs have not eaten kangaroo, so it is often used when owners and vets want to avoid common proteins like chicken or beef.
- Lean. Kangaroo is naturally low in fat.
- Australian. It is a local protein with a smaller food footprint than many imported options.

When to talk to your vet
