Find answers to common questions about our Venison Raw Dog Food | Enriched with Antler Powder
-
Our Venison Complete Raw Dog Food comes in a 500 g tub and is made from fresh British pasture-reared venison meat, beef liver and ground venison bone, with added seasonal leafy greens, hemp seeds, kelp and high-quality salmon oil. The recipe is enriched with antler powder to support optimal calcium and mineral levels and provide a gourmet, nutritionally balanced meal for your dog.
-
This is a complete raw food, not just a complementary topper. Formulated in collaboration with vets, it provides all the essential vitamins, minerals, proteins and fats adult dogs need when fed according to the guidelines, so you can use it as your dog’s main diet without needing to add other foods for balance.
-
This recipe is suitable for healthy adult dogs aged 24 weeks and over. It’s ideal for active and working dogs, as well as pet dogs of all breeds and sizes who thrive on a high-meat, natural diet. For puppies under 24 weeks, senior dogs with medical conditions or dogs on medication, always check with your vet before switching to raw.
-
Yes, the recipe is free from wheat, sugar, gluten and grains, and uses venison as the main, novel protein source. This makes it an excellent option for many dogs with grain intolerance or sensitivities to more common proteins such as chicken or beef, though every dog is different, so introduce it gradually and monitor for any reaction.
-
As a general guide, adult dogs on a raw diet typically eat around 2–3% of their ideal body weight per day. For example, a 20 kg dog would usually need 400–600 g of raw food daily (roughly one 500 g tub). Adjust the amount based on your dog’s age, activity level and body condition, and ask your vet if you’re unsure.
-
Transition slowly over 7–10 days by mixing a small amount of the venison raw food with your dog’s current diet. Start with about 25% new food and 75% old food, then gradually increase the proportion of raw food every couple of days until it completely replaces the previous diet to minimise digestive upset.
-
Keep the tubs frozen until you are ready to use them. To serve, defrost a tub overnight in the fridge, then remove the lid and portion out the required amount. Once defrosted, the food can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Do not refreeze once thawed, and always follow safe raw meat handling practices.
-
Antler powder is a natural source of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and trace elements that support strong bones, healthy teeth and robust joints. Combined with venison, leafy greens, kelp and salmon oil, it helps deliver a precisely balanced complete meal that supports overall vitality, mobility and wellbeing.
-
Many owners successfully combine raw and dry food, but it’s important to introduce this carefully and ensure the total daily amount from all foods stays within your dog’s calorie needs. If you plan to feed a mixed diet, transition gradually and monitor your dog’s digestion
-
The recipe includes ground venison bone to provide natural calcium and minerals. It is minced using fine mincing plates, so while tiny bone fragments may occasionally be present, they are part of the formulation and are safe for healthy adult dogs to digest when fed as directed. Always supervise mealtimes and consult your vet if your dog has a history of dental or digestive issues.
