Find answers to common questions about our Venison Meat Sticks for Dogs - 200g | 100% Natural, Low-Fat, & Hypoallergenic
-
Venison Meat Sticks are soft, air-dried dog treats made from 100% human-grade venison meat. They are naturally high in protein, low in fat, and completely free from gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, sugar, salt, egg and grains, making them a simple and wholesome snack for your dog.
-
Yes, these sticks are hypoallergenic and made from a single, novel protein—venison—which many dogs with sensitivities to common meats like chicken or beef tolerate very well. Because they contain no grains or artificial additives, they are an excellent option for many sensitive dogs, though you should always introduce new treats slowly.
-
Yes, the sticks are gently air-dried to a soft, tender texture that is easy to chew. This makes them ideal for puppies from around 12 weeks of age, senior dogs, and dogs with dental sensitivities who struggle with very hard chews.
-
Venison Meat Sticks are formulated to be both high in protein and low in fat. Each stick contains around 79% protein and just 8% fat, providing a lean, satisfying treat that supports muscle maintenance and energy without adding too many extra calories.
-
These sticks are designed as a complementary treat, not a complete food. You can offer them whole as a chew or break them into smaller pieces for training rewards or scatter feeding. Treats should make up no more than about 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake, so adjust their main meals if needed.
-
Yes, because they are made from 100% venison meat with no grains or artificial ingredients, Venison Meat Sticks are an excellent match for raw-fed dogs. They fit well into a biologically appropriate diet as a convenient, shelf-stable treat.
-
While these sticks are softer than hard chews, the act of chewing still helps stimulate the gums and can assist in removing some soft plaque from the teeth. They are a useful addition to your dog’s dental routine, but should not replace regular tooth brushing or veterinary dental care.
-
The right amount depends on your dog’s size, activity level and main diet. As a guideline, small dogs may only need part of a stick, medium dogs one stick, and large dogs one to two sticks in a day, provided treats stay within about 10% of their daily calories. If you notice weight gain, reduce treat quantities.
-
Store the sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Reseal the pouch after opening or transfer the treats to an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent them from drying out too much. Always follow the best-before date on the packaging.
-
Yes, the venison used in our meat sticks is sourced from carefully selected British farms that prioritise animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. This means you can reward your dog generously while supporting higher-welfare, responsibly produced meat.
