Description Premium Venison Raw Mince – The Hypoallergenic Super-Protein by Durham's Elevate your dog's BARF diet with the lean, nutrient-dense power of Durham's Venison Mince. Sourced from high-quality British venison, this 454g block is a "novel protein," meaning it is a meat source that most dogs have not been over-exposed to. This makes it a cornerstone ingredient for exclusion diets and for dogs suffering from severe food sensitivities. Venison is not only delicious and highly palatable but also offers a superior nutritional profile compared to many domestic meats, providing a rich source of essential minerals without the high calorie count.

Heart-Healthy Nutrition: Venison is naturally low in cholesterol and saturated fats, supporting long-term cardiac health and healthy circulation. High in Iron & B Vitamins: Rich in Iron to prevent anaemia and packed with B6 and B12 to support a healthy metabolism and brain function. Rich in Zinc: Essential for a strong immune system and vital for maintaining healthy skin and a thick, glossy coat. Lean Muscle Support: Provides high-quality amino acids necessary for maintaining lean muscle mass without adding unnecessary weight. Preparation & Safe Handling This product is a complementary feed intended for DIY raw feeding. For a balanced meal, ensure you mix with appropriate ratios of bone and offal. Safe Defrosting: To maintain hygiene and prevent leakage, always defrost this mince in a sealed container at the bottom of the fridge. Thaw overnight and use within 48 hours of defrosting. Always wash hands and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw meat. Frequently Asked Questions Why is venison good for dogs with allergies? Venison is a novel protein that most dogs have not encountered in commercial kibble. Because their immune systems haven't developed a sensitivity to it, it is highly effective for stopping itchy skin and digestive distress. Is venison suitable for dogs with pancreatitis? Venison is one of the leanest meats available. While it is naturally low in fat, always check with your vet for dogs requiring a strictly controlled fat percentage. Can I cook this mince? While designed for raw feeding, some owners lightly sear it for fussy eaters. However, the nutritional benefits are best preserved when fed raw as part of a BARF diet.
