I had a real stroke of luck with this homemade dog food venison recipe. Found a lovely lady in Scotland whose as passionate about deer and sustainability as I am about homemade dog food.

Just added a few, mainly home-grown, winter veggies from my garden to this beautifully lean protein then topped it off with my Dog Chef Daily superfood supplement, some Dog Chef Calcium and a healthy drizzle of exotic safflower oil. My dogs loved it!

Scottish venison is a healthy, natural, sustainable meat produced from deer that roam freely in the wild in Scotland. Millbank Parkland Venison of Dumfries and Galloway pride themselves on providing a sustainable, low carbon, high animal welfare and stress-free environment for their deer. Their parkland and wild venison is produced and prepared with pride by a small business 100% committed to producing an award-winning sustainable meat to be enjoyed by everyone.

Venison tends to be much-prized by raw feeders, and it’s a protein source my dog nutritionist constantly waxes lyrical about. It’s a highly nutritious source of lean protein for a dog. It contains less fat and cholesterol than many protein sources. And it’s a good source of B vitamins together with minerals such as iron, phosphorous and zinc.

Venison is a great choice for anyone seeking a ‘novel’ protein source for a dog who may suffer from allergies related to more commonly used sources of protein such as chicken and beef.

Oh, and one more thing. Dogs love homemade venison dog food!
