Produced by the DEFRA approved Devon manufacturer using ethically and sustainably sourced UK game, this single protein selection features 100% fresh British wild venison. Unlike mass produced options that rely on factory scrap or manufacturing trimmings, the resident butchers at the Devon headquarters purchase the wild deer completely whole and gutted. The carcasses are entirely hand butchered on the premises to extract large, premium, prime chunks of muscle meat. This presentation leaves the meat cuts fully intact, preserving the natural structural integrity of the fibers to provide an authentic, primal feeding experience that honors your pet evolutionary drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis premium single protein component showcases the outstanding structural and nutritional efficiency of an ultra clean, wild harvested game source. Sourced locally from licensed British deer stalkers managing wild estates, the animals forage naturally and remain completely free from routine farming antibiotics, artificial growth hormones, or chemical feed additives. Prime wild venison provides an exceptionally lean, highly digestible red meat foundation loaded with high quality protein and essential amino acids. It delivers an excellent macronutrient profile, containing a robust 21.9% protein content paired with a minimal 5.1% fat content per 100g. This makes it a highly effective choice for dogs navigating severe systemic sensitivities, chronic skin irritations, pancreatic conditions, or digestive distress triggered by common agricultural proteins like chicken or beef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a completely boneless and offal free product, these raw meat chunks are classified as a complementary raw food item. They provide ultimate flexibility for a hands on DIY raw feeding philosophy or standard prey model setup, serving as a pristine, allergen free canvas that gives you total control over your dog meal architecture. Because this selection contains 0% bone and 0% offal, you can seamlessly combine it with your choice of separate calcium structures and precise allocations of secreting organs to hit specific ancestral daily targets. Presentation of whole, substantial chunks rather than fine purees also introduces a vital mechanical element to mealtime, encouraging functional chewing that naturally exercises the jaw and promotes oral health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs, working dogs, and cats. Strictly not for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreed Size: All breeds and sizes; the large chunks can be given whole to medium, large, and giant breeds to encourage tearing, or easily sliced down with kitchen shears for toy breeds and felines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife Stage: Formulated for adult pets and older puppies or kittens from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for animals requiring a strict single protein or elimination diet, pets on strict low fat or weight management plans, and active breeds thriving on a chicken free and beef free novel red meat routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guide and How To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaily Serving: As a general guide, feed approximately 2% to 3% of your adult dog's ideal body weight per day, preferably split across two daily meals. Adjust the exact amount based on your pet's workload, age, metabolic rate, and physical condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary Balancing: This is a complementary, boneless muscle meat ingredient. To build a complete daily ancestral diet, ensure you balance this component across your weekly routine by incorporating appropriate raw bones (10%) and a full 10% allocation of secreting offal (split into 5% liver and 5% kidney or spleen). The manufacturer recommends rotating this recipe with 4 to 5 different protein sources across the month to achieve maximum nutrient diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 500g pack and portion the required amount directly into your dog's bowl. If smaller serving amounts are needed, allow the block to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely segment with a sharp knife, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer. Slicing raw venison is significantly easier when the meat is still partially frozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild Game Precaution: Because this product contains authentic wild caught game harvested by licensed stalkers, please be aware that there is always a very minimal, natural possibility of trace shot elements remaining within the meat chunks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling and Thawing: Store at 18 degrees Celsius and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the pack inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight approximately 10 to 12 hours before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat completely destroys the live digestive enzymes and alters the delicate, lean protein matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the chunks in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 48 hours to ensure maximum freshness. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: This is a raw wild game product and should be handled with standard hygiene practices. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555855487310,"sku":"TDBVC","price":5.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/VenisonChunk.png?v=1787824591","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/the-dogs-butcher-raw-dog-food-venison-chunks-500g","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
