Sharing a meal is a universal experience that connects us all in this world. Even with our pet-babies.

Eating together allows us to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life; to nourish our body with properly cooked, healthy meals; and to strengthen our bonds with those we love.

If you’re a pet-parent and a homemaker who loves food, we know you’ve thought of sharing and enjoying a meal with your dog.

If you have, why not try whipping up these easy duck-inspired gourmet recipes that are as rich in satisfying flavors of free-range fowl, crisp sweetness of apples, and appetizing aroma of fresh herbs, just like Wishbone Lake.

Roasted Duck with Apples

Roasting a whole duck may sound intimidating, but this recipe makes it as simple as ABC! Loaded with vitamins and protein, duck is a flavorful, gamey poultry meat that tastes a few notes deeper than the dark meat on chicken thighs. 

This recipe stuffs sweet apples and onions inside the cavity of the whole duck to slightly tame its gamey flavor. There’s room for flavor customization in this recipe as well and you can choose to add herbs, cranberries and citrus fruits in the stuffing.

Fun fact: They may love eating meat, but dogs are not entirely carnivores. Like us, dogs can also benefit from eating fruits and vegetables. The apples in Wishbone Lake, for instance, are rich sources of Vitamin C and dietary fiber, which help improve your dog’s digestion. Cranberries, on the other hand, help enhance iron and calcium absorption for your dog.

Fun fact: Make your dog’s meal time more exciting! Add toppers to his bowl of Wishbone Lake like small cuts of lightly-salted, plain boiled chicken or duck.
