RUFUS BFF Duck Jerky is made from100% USA Farm-Raised Duck, using duck muscle meat (as opposed to whole ground duck). 

Some variations of jerky can be thin, dry and very hard, which can cause them to shred into sharp shards that can possible cause cuts and discomfort while eating.  RUFUS BFF Duck Jerky is the muscle meat that is first ground, slowly dehydrated and then formed into strips that are much more easily chewed, without the potential for discomfort.

  • There is only 1 single ingredient in our Duck Jerky: Duck.  Nothing else.
  • No added salt, sugar, fillers, chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or preservatives

Our  Duck Jerky is a special treat that will always make your BFF look at you with those big loving eyes!  But, little do they know of all the benefits they get from duck:

  • Rich in High-Quality Protein: Duck meat is packed with proteins essential for muscle development, repair, and overall growth. This makes it an excellent choice for active dogs and cats or those needing a nutritional boost.
  • For the Picky Eater: Duck's unique flavor profile can entice even the most finicky BFFs (you know who they are 😉).
  • Duck Meat is Tasty and Tempting: BFF’s love the rich, distinct flavor of duck. This makes it an ideal treat for training, rewarding, or simply spoiling them (you know you do).
  • Nutrient-Dense: Duck meat is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. It's rich in iron for blood health, zinc for immune support, and B vitamins for energy metabolism.
  • For Pets with Special Diets: Duck fits well into specialized diets, whether it's for hypoallergenic needs or high-protein requirements.
  • Low in Allergens: Duck is less likely to cause allergic reactions. It's a fantastic alternative for Friends with sensitivities or allergies to other meats.
  • Healthy Fats for Energy: Duck contains beneficial fats, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are crucial for skin and coat health, promoting a shiny coat and reducing inflammation.

Livestock and Environmental Sustainability

For our products, RUFUS BFF sought out farms and processors that share our vision of providing products based on acceptable farming practices, including sustainability. Our providers take environmental sustainability seriously and, to the maximum extent practicable, livestock are raised under circumstances that simulate those that would be experienced in their natural environments, engaging in behaviors considered to be their normal state.

Duck farming is considered a sustainable source and can be more environmentally friendly than other meats, due to the small carbon footprint of ducks.
