Find answers to common questions about our Deer Jerky Chews 200g
-
Deer Jerky Chews 200g are natural, long-lasting chews made from tender, long-fibred red deer skin. They are gently air-dried to create a chewy, high-protein snack that helps satisfy your dog’s natural urge to gnaw while supporting healthy teeth and gums.
-
Yes, deer is a single, novel protein that many dogs with sensitivities to common meats such as chicken or beef tolerate very well. These chews are grain-free and made from simple, natural ingredients, making them a good choice for many sensitive dogs—though you should always introduce any new chew gradually and monitor for any reaction.
-
Deer Jerky Chews are suitable for all breeds and sizes, from small dogs and puppies to large, powerful chewers. Smaller dogs and puppies can be given shorter chewing sessions or smaller pieces, while larger dogs may enjoy a full strip as a satisfying, longer-lasting chew.
-
Yes, the fibrous, chewy texture encourages dogs to gnaw, which can help scrape away soft plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth. Regular chewing supports better oral hygiene and can contribute to fresher breath, though it should be used alongside brushing and routine vet dental checks.
-
These chews are intended as a complementary treat, not a complete food. For most dogs, one jerky strip a few times per week, or smaller pieces more frequently, is appropriate as long as treats do not exceed around 10% of their daily calorie intake. Adjust your dog’s main meals if you are giving extra chews.
-
Yes, the product is described as puppy and small dog friendly, and many puppies from around 12 weeks of age can enjoy these chews. Always supervise closely, especially with young dogs, and remove any small pieces that could be swallowed whole. If you’re unsure, check with your vet before introducing firmer chews.
-
Deer Jerky Chews are naturally rich in protein and contain a higher level of healthy fats, making them very satisfying and energy-dense. The typical analysis is: crude protein 46.8%, crude fat 37.8% and crude ash 1.1%, offering a nutritious, high-value chew for active dogs.
-
Store the chews in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Reseal the packaging after opening or keep the chews in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming too soft. Always follow the best-before date on the pack.
-
Compared with many natural chews, Deer Jerky Chews have very little smell and do not leave a greasy residue, making them a good choice for indoor chewing. Owners often find them a clean, low-odour option while dogs still enjoy the rich, meaty flavour.
-
Yes, as with all natural chews, dogs should always be supervised. Make sure your dog chews the jerky properly, remove any small pieces that could be swallowed whole, and provide fresh drinking water at all times to keep them safe while they enjoy their treat.
