Giving your dog a variety of meats and vegetables ensures that they get a full range of nutrients and helps prevent food boredom. So instead of constantly choosing chicken and beef snacks, why not broaden their horizons with venison treats for your dog?
Venison (deer meat) is high in protein but has less cholesterol, fat and calories than beef. It’s also a rich source of B vitamins (vital for energy levels and a healthy nervous system) and important minerals such as iron, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, and copper. As a unique protein, it can also be a good choice for dogs with allergies and intolerances. Finally – it’s delicious!
