What is this venison supplement, and what is it used for?
This is a granular complementary feed made from 100% dried venison. It is intended to “finish” a dog's meal: to add flavor, aroma, and eating pleasure especially to everyday basic foods. Many use this particularly when the dog does eat – but only if the portion is a bit more appealing.
What kind of dog is this the best “rescuer” for in everyday life?
This works very well if the dog is picky, gets bored easily, or leaves food unfinished. For example, a Shetland Sheepdog, Whippet, or Poodle may get more excited when the kibble has the scent of venison. It is also suitable when you want to make the transition to more natural feeding smoother, without a big change all at once.
Why is single-protein venison a smart choice for many dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Because the supplement is made from only one animal protein (venison), the composition remains clear. This helps many when wanting to minimize “extra variables” in feeding. For example, a Border Collie, Lagotto Romagnolo, or Finnish Lapphund can benefit from the simplicity, but if symptoms are suspected, dietary changes should be made calmly.
Is this grain-free and additive-free?
Yes: the product is grain-free and additive-free, and no salt, preservatives, or artificial additives have been added. This is good if you want to keep the supplement as “clean” and easily understandable part of the diet as possible. This suits many everyday situations when the basic food is already chosen and you just want a small boost on top.
How is this used with dry food so that it mixes evenly?
Sprinkle a small amount over the kibble and mix lightly. The granular texture is made so that it “sticks” to the portion easily without mess. This is a nice way especially for active breeds, such as Australian Shepherds or Retrievers, when you want to keep feeding effortless.
Can this be added to wet food, BARF diet, or homemade food?
Yes – this is compatible with kibble, wet food, BARF, and homemade food. The idea is the same in all: a small amount adds more flavor and makes the portion more interesting. If the dog is particular about the texture of its food (e.g., Spanish Water Dog or Kooikerhondje), start with a small amount.
How much supplement can be given per day?
Keep the amount of supplement at most 10% of the dog's daily food amount. Roughly: small dogs 1–2 teaspoons/day, medium-sized 2–4 teaspoons/day, and large 3–6 teaspoons/day. For example, a Mittelspitz often falls into the “small” category, Border Collie into “medium,” and Labrador Retriever into “large” – but always relate to your own dog's size and food amount.
How do I make this a softer and even more appealing addition?
You can moisten the granules with warm water or broth, which enhances the aroma and “sauce-like” quality. This is a nice trick especially when the dog eats better soft or warmer-smelling food. Test first with a small amount and adjust the texture to suit your dog.
Does this work with a lick mat or for enrichment?
Yes – this can also be used with lick mats. When you lightly moisten the granules, you get an easily spreadable addition that makes the moment calming and provides fun activity. This suits well, for example, an energetic Border Collie or a young Australian Shepherd when you want to combine feeding and enrichment.
Can this be used as a reward without “messing up” the feeding?
Yes – the product is versatile and can also be used as an occasional reward. The smartest way is to count the amounts given as rewards into the daily total so that the supplement does not accidentally become too large a part of the diet. This is especially handy during training periods when the dog needs extra motivation.
What do the analytical values tell about this supplement?
The product is naturally high in protein (crude protein 64%) and also contains fat (crude fat 8%), fiber (1%), moisture (9%), and ash (6%). Practically, this means that even a small amount adds a “meaty” addition to the food and does not need to be used in large quantities. There may be natural variation between batches, which is normal in such raw material-based products.
Would this suit a rotation or elimination diet?
The product is mentioned as suitable also for rotation and elimination diets under professional guidance. Single protein and simple composition are the key here, but individual instructions are decisive. If you do elimination, make sure all additions comply with the plan.
Where does this come from and what does the brand emphasize?
The supplement comes from Spain (Extremadura), and the brand's message emphasizes transparent raw materials and responsible, practical packaging. This is nice information if you appreciate that the product's background is clearly explained. For many, it increases trust in what their own dog eats.
How should this be stored to keep the aroma and quality good?
This does not require refrigeration: store in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight, and close the lid carefully after each use. Properly stored, it remains good until the best before date even after opening. If the aroma or appearance changes clearly unpleasantly, it is best to play it safe and switch to a new jar.
Why is there a glass jar and wooden spoon in the packaging?
The glass jar and wooden spoon make dosing neat and easy, and at the same time the supplement stays well controlled (does not scatter from the bag). The wooden spoon is also handy on trips when you want to sprinkle the addition quickly onto food without separate utensils. This is a small everyday luxury that makes mealtime smoother.
Would this also suit a cat, and what is the dosage?
Yes, this is a complementary feed also for cats, and the dosage is 1–2 teaspoons per day. Many use this when the cat needs more aroma and interest in its food or when a simple, meaty addition is desired. As always, start with a small amount and observe how it suits your own cat.
