STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Venison contains more protein than any other type of red meat and has up to two times more amino acids than beef
  • Venison is higher in healthy fatty acids, particularly omega-3 fats, than factory farmed beef
  • Venison is a good source of B vitamins, which play a role in skin health, energy and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as enzyme function
  • Venison is considered a novel protein source, making it a potential protein source for pets with food allergies
  • You can feed venison to your pet raw, freeze-dried, dehydrated or cooked. When fed as treats, keep in mind that it should constitute less than 10% of your pet’s daily caloric intake
