High-Quality Protein with Exceptional Lean Profile
Venison delivers more protein per gram than beef while containing approximately half the calories and a third of the fat. This lean, concentrated protein source provides all essential amino acids your dog needs for muscle maintenance, strength, and sustained energy across every life stage.
Low in Fat for Weight Management and Heart Health
Unlike heavily processed meat products, our dehydrated venison jerky retains naturally low fat levels while maintaining nutrient density. This clean nutritional profile makes venison ideal for weight management programs, senior dogs, and those requiring lean supplemental nutrition without additives.
Easily Digestible for Gentle Stomach Support
Venison is a highly digestible protein that sits gently on sensitive digestive systems. Our carefully dehydrated jerky is a low-risk, wholesome option for dogs with specific dietary needs or those introducing venison into their diet for the first time.
Allergy-Free Novel Protein for Sensitive Dogs
As a protein rarely found in mainstream commercial dog foods, venison is classified as a novel protein with low allergenicity. Dogs with established sensitivities to beef, chicken, or lamb often tolerate venison exceptionally well, making it ideal for elimination diets and allergic dogs.
Vitamin-Rich Formula for Immune and Metabolic Health
Venison is naturally rich in iron, zinc, B12, and B vitamins that support healthy blood production, immune function, energy metabolism, and nerve health. These essential nutrients work together to keep your dog vibrant, energized, and resilient through every season and life stage.
Our Venison Jerky Dog Treats are versatile and can be used in a variety of ways to benefit both you and your dog. Here are some great ways to incorporate them into your dog’s routine:
Training Reward: Use these jerky treats as a high-value reward during training sessions. Their tasty flavor and chewy texture will help motivate your dog to stay focused and engage during training, reinforcing positive behavior.
Add to Wet Food for Crunchiness: Enhance your dog’s regular meals by adding small pieces of jerky to their wet food. The jerky adds a satisfying crunch and extra nutritional value, turning mealtime into something your dog will look forward to.
Open Palm Feeding for Calm and Controlled Eating: Encourage calm and controlled eating by feeding your dog directly from your open hand. This method is perfect for fostering a gentle eating experience and can help curb overly eager eaters.
Bonding Time: Share these treats during quiet moments to strengthen your bond with your dog. Whether it’s sitting together after a walk or relaxing on the couch, the jerky treats are perfect for those special, calm moments.
Nose Work: Hide small pieces of jerky around your home or yard and let your dog use their nose to find them. This is a great way to provide mental stimulation and keep your dog active while having fun.
Intermittent or Supplemental Feeding
Dog Treats should be offered occasionally or as a supplement to your dog’s regular meals. These treats are designed to complement their main diet, not replace it. Treats should account for no more than 10-15% of your dog’s daily calorie intake.
Adjust Portion Sizes Based
- The amount of jerky you give your dog should depend on their weight, age, and activity level. Active dogs or working breeds may require larger portions, while smaller or less active dogs should be given smaller amounts.
- Use our Dog Calorie Calculator to get an approximate amount of calories your dog needs and adjust the treats accordingly.
Always Provide Fresh Water
Ensure that your dog has access to plenty of fresh water while enjoying these treats. Water is essential for digestion and overall health, especially when giving high-protein snacks like jerky.
Monitor Your Dog’s Weight and Health
Regularly monitor your dog’s weight and overall health. If you notice any changes in your dog’s appetite, weight, or digestion, consult your veterinarian and adjust treat portions accordingly.
Limit Treats During Mealtime
While these treats are healthy, remember to limit the number of treats given during mealtime to avoid overfeeding. Treats should remain an occasional snack or part of training sessions rather than a regular part of their meals.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Keep the jerky treats in a cool, dry area away from heat or direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard works best to maintain freshness and avoid exposure to temperature fluctuations.
Keep in Original Packaging
Always store the jerky in its original packaging to protect it from air, moisture, and contaminants. The packaging is designed to help maintain the product’s freshness and quality.
Seal Properly After Use
After each use, make sure the package is tightly sealed to prevent air from getting in. This helps preserve the flavor and nutritional value of the jerky, while also preventing it from drying out.
Use Within 6 Months of Opening
For the best quality and taste, it’s recommended to use the jerky within 6 months after opening the package. While the jerky will still be safe beyond this period, the flavor and texture may start to degrade.
Avoid Moisture Exposure
Moisture can affect the quality of the jerky, leading to potential spoilage. Ensure that the jerky is kept in a dry environment and that the packaging is fully sealed after use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Venison Jerky good for dogs?
Yes, Venison Jerky is good for dogs because venison provides lean animal protein, essential amino acids, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids that support muscle maintenance, energy, oxygen transport, immune health, nerve function, heart health, and coat condition. It is a useful treat for dogs that need a novel protein or have sensitivities to common proteins.
Can Dogs Eat Venison Jerky?
Yes, dogs can eat Venison Jerky because plain dehydrated venison gives dogs a lean, protein-rich chew without the heavy salt, garlic, onion, sugar, spices, or artificial preservatives often found in human jerky. It should be made for dogs, served in small safe pieces, and used as a reward, topper, or training treat.
How do you prepare Venison Jerky for dogs?
You can prepare Venison Jerky for dogs by using lean plain venison, trimming visible fat, slicing the meat into thin strips, heating it to 160°F for food safety, then dehydrating it until dry, firm, and chewy. Do not add salt, garlic, onion, sugar, soy sauce, chili, oil, butter, sauces, spices, or seasoning. Let the jerky cool fully before cutting it into treat-size pieces.
How often can dogs eat Venison Jerky?
Dogs can eat Venison Jerky 1 to 2 small pieces per day because it is a lean, high-protein treat that supports training, chewing activity, and meal variety without replacing balanced daily food. The serving should still stay within 10 to 15% of daily calories, with smaller pieces for small dogs and portion adjustments for larger or more active dogs.
Are there any risks of feeding dogs Venison Jerky?
No, Venison Jerky is not risky for most dogs when it is plain, cooked, properly dehydrated, and fed in the right amount because dog-safe venison jerky uses lean meat without unnecessary fillers, preservatives, or artificial additives. There can be risks if dogs eat too much, swallow large pieces, or react to venison, as this may cause choking, loose stool, itching, stomach upset, excess calories, or reduced appetite for regular meals.
How much Venison Jerky can I give my dog?
You can give Venison Jerky within 10 to 15% of your dog's daily calorie intake because it is meant as an intermittent or supplemental treat, not a complete meal. Small dogs should get tiny broken pieces, medium dogs may get a few treat-size strips, and large dogs may get more depending on weight, activity level, chewing style, and digestion.
What makes The Doggie's Deli Venison Jerky different?
The Doggie's Deli Venison Jerky is different because it is made from 100% New Zealand venison, giving dogs a lean, single-protein treat that is grain-free, human-grade, and free from additives, preservatives, and fillers. Its novel protein profile makes it suitable for dogs with sensitivities to common proteins like chicken, beef, or lamb.
Can I Feed Venison Jerky to My Cat as Well?
Yes, cats can eat Venison Jerky because plain venison provides animal-based protein, amino acids, iron, zinc, and B vitamins that fit a cat's meat-focused diet, as long as the jerky is unseasoned and cut into tiny easy-to-chew pieces. It should be used as an occasional treat, not a meal replacement, when given in moderation.
