Contains protein and calcium, but severe fat density negates all dietary usefulness. Provides no safe application in canine nutrition. Lacks any health benefits that compensate for high disease risks.
⚠️ Primary Health Risks & Concerns
Extremely high fat content poses a severe threat of inducing acute, painful pancreatitis.
