I feed it as a meal. But mine are raw eaters. Duck necks are hearty & technically, a complete meal. If you have a kitchen scale, you can weigh the portion size to see if it would qualify as a "meal". Small breed dogs should eat roughly 3-6% of their body weight daily, but that really depends on the dog, their age & activity. An average 6 lb dog should eat an average of 2 ounces per meal. So if you're feeding 2 ounces of duck neck to 6 lb dog, they probably won't devour their next meal (unless it's another duck neck, lol). If you don't have a kitchen scale, I'd say that 2 ounces of an average duck neck is probably the length of your thumb.
