Key benefits
- Single novel protein source
Made with New Zealand venison as the only animal protein source, helping reduce the chance of prior dietary exposure during elimination diet trials. - Poultry-free formula
Contains no added chicken, duck or turkey ingredients, making it suitable for dogs avoiding poultry proteins. - Supports skin and coat health
Coconut oil and flaxseed provide MCTs and omega-3 fatty acid support to help maintain the skin’s natural lipid barrier and coat condition. - Digestive health support
Prebiotic fibres help support balanced gut flora and healthy stool quality, especially during restricted feeding or diet transitions. - Limited-ingredient formula
Fewer ingredients mean fewer potential dietary triggers, making it easier to manage suspected food sensitivities.
Why choose a venison-based diet?
Venison is considered a novel protein for many dogs, meaning it may be a protein they have not commonly eaten before. Novel protein diets are often used during elimination feeding plans because they help narrow down potential food-related triggers.
This recipe uses venison and venison meal as the animal protein sources, alongside carefully selected ingredients including tapioca, peas, flaxseed, coconut oil, sunflower oil, kelp, spinach, cranberries, apples and blueberries.
Suitable for
- Dogs with suspected food sensitivities
- Dogs requiring a poultry-free diet
- Dogs needing a limited-ingredient feeding option
- Dogs on an elimination diet trial, under veterinary guidance
- Dogs needing skin, coat and digestive support
