Offer only small pieces of plain fully cooked venison without bones or rich seasoning. Fat trimmings and heavily cured products may upset digestion. Follow veterinarian instructions when using venison for allergy trials.
Venison is meat from deer, sold as ground meat, steaks, roasts, stew cubes, jerky, and freeze-dried treats. Provides protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
Human recipes often add butter, wine reductions, juniper, garlic, onion, and salty spice rubs. Jerky may include smoke flavor, cure salts, and sweet marinades.
Raw game trim may carry environmental bacteria. Freeze-thawed packages can leak juices in coolers and sinks. Clean prep surfaces before pets enter the area.
