The benefits of rabbit meat for your pet.

Meat that is very high in protein and very low in fat - sounds incredible, doesn't it? Rabbit meat is exactly that kind of meat, and it's part of the Top Dog Bistro Beef&Rabitt recipe! Rabbit meat is especially good when it comes to controlling your dog's weight or building muscle. Here are 5 main reasons why you should consider including rabbit meat in your dog's diet.

1. Sustainability. Raising rabbits leaves a much smaller carbon footprint than other animals. How do you understand this? With the same amount of feed and water used, rabbit farms will produce six times more meat than cattle farms. This is becoming increasingly important as global warming worsens.

2. Other proteins. Rabbit meat is a source of protein that your dog has rarely or never had before. Dogs with sensitive stomachs or food allergies respond better to the protein they get from eating rabbit meat. If your dog suffers from digestive problems or has sensitive skin, try including rabbit meat in his diet.

3. Low calorie content. Rabbit meat contains the least calories compared to lamb and beef. It is an excellent source of meat for dogs of various activities. Owners of low-activity dogs will not have to worry that their dogs will not gain extra pounds (if they follow the recommended feeding rates), owners of very active dogs will be able to rest assured that their pets will receive all the necessary nutrients. Rabbit meat is an excellent source of vitamin B12, which ensures the smooth functioning of the nervous system.

4. Low in cholesterol. Rabbit meat is lower in cholesterol than other protein sources. Rabbit meat is also rich in “good” fats that support your dog’s joints and coat.

5. High in protein. Rabbit meat has the highest protein content compared to chicken, pork, turkey, duck, fish, lamb or beef. This is especially beneficial for your dog’s muscles. Rabbit meat also contains amino acids, which are essential for tissue repair. These amino acids strengthen your dog’s immune system.
