-
Our Venison Paté is a soft, sliceable dog treat made from 94% venison, 4% rice flour and 2% vitamins and minerals. It’s a high-meat, grain-free recipe with a naturally low fat content of around 10.7%, making it a tasty but lighter option for regular treating.
-
Venison Paté is very versatile: you can slice it into training treats, cube it for reward games, stuff it into toys, spread it on lick mats or use small amounts to hide tablets. Its firm-but-soft texture means you can shape it however you like without it crumbling apart.
-
No, Venison Paté is designed as a complementary treat, not a complete food. It should be fed alongside your dog’s regular balanced diet and should make up no more than about 10% of their daily calorie intake. Always adjust your dog’s main meals if you’re giving extra treats.
-
Venison is a novel, single protein that many dogs with sensitivities to common meats such as chicken or beef tolerate very well. The recipe is grain-free and simple, which can help with some food intolerances. However, every dog is different, so introduce it gradually and monitor for any itching, digestive upset or other signs of reaction.
-
Yes, the soft texture makes it ideal for puppies, older dogs and those who struggle with harder treats. Just cut very small pieces for puppies and toy breeds, and remember that treats should be kept to a sensible level so you don’t unbalance their overall diet. If your dog has specific health issues, ask your vet first.
-
With a fat content of only around 10.7%, Venison Paté is a relatively low-fat treat compared with many sausages and meaty snacks. That makes it a good choice for dogs who need to watch their waistline, as long as you use small pieces and take the extra calories into account when planning their daily food.
-
The exact amount depends on your dog’s size, activity level and main diet. As a general rule, treats should not exceed about 10% of your dog’s daily calories. For small dogs, that might mean just a few tiny cubes
-
Keep unopened paté in a cool, dry place. Once opened, store it in the fridge and use it within 2–3 days, or portion and freeze it for longer storage. Always discard any paté that smells off, has been left out for hours or is past its best-before date.
-
Yes, Venison Paté can be frozen. Many owners like to pre-slice or cube it, then freeze portions so they can quickly grab a handful of ready-made training treats or stuffing for toys. Defrost in the fridge or feed slightly chilled, and never refreeze once it has thawed.
-
Venison Paté has a rich, meaty aroma that dogs love, but it’s usually less overpowering than some fish-based or very oily treats. It holds its shape well when sliced or cubed, so it’s easy to handle with minimal crumbling, making it ideal for using in pockets, treat bags, toys and training sessions.
