Short answer

Yes, plain cooked duck breast is safe for dogs occasionally. Make sure it's unseasoned and you remove all skin and fat since duck is quite rich. A small piece now and then is fine, but go easy on the portions. Watch for any vomiting or diarrhea after eating it, and call your own vet if anything seems off.
