Wisdom Air-Dried From The Land Recipe Jerky Treat

Verified Aug 29, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Senior Small Medium Large

An air-dried jerky treat for dogs made with venison, beef, bison, and organ meats as the primary ingredients. It offers a relatively high protein and fat content for a treat, with quinoa and a touch of coconut glycerin for texture. This is designed for intermittent rewarding or training rather than as a complete diet.

9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a high-quality, meat-forward jerky treat that uses venison, beef, bison, and organ meats to provide rich protein and flavor. It’s calorie-dense, so it works best as a small, high-value reward rather than something given freely throughout the day. The ingredient list is simple and avoids unnecessary additives, which many dogs with more sensitive stomachs may do well with in moderation.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Venison, beef, bison, and organ meats provide high-quality, nutrient-dense animal protein sources.
  • Protein and fat levels are relatively high for a treat, making this a good high-value training reward in small amounts.
  • Ingredient list is short and straightforward, with no artificial colors or flavors.
  • Mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract are safe preservatives that help keep the product stable.

Considerations

  • This is a supplemental treat, not a complete or balanced diet, so it should not replace your dog’s regular food.
  • The calorie content per piece is fairly high, so portions need to be limited, especially for small or overweight dogs.
  • Contains multiple common animal allergens, including beef and venison, so it is not suitable for dogs with those specific food allergies.
  • Coconut glycerin adds extra calories; sensitive dogs may need their total treat intake monitored closely.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Venison
Venison is used in pet food primarily as a high-quality, novel animal protein source that is lean and rich in essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins, making it suitable for both dogs and cats and commonly included in limited-ingredient or hypoallergenic formulas. It can benefit pets with sensitivities to common proteins like beef or chicken and offer a lower-fat alternative, but owners should note that it may be too lean for growing animals, still can cause allergies in some pets, and raw or poorly sourced venison may carry parasites or contaminants (risks that are minimized in properly processed commercial diets).

02
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
View ingredient
03
Beef Liver
Beef liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient that provides concentrated, bioavailable vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), heme iron, copper, and essential amino acids. While it supports blood health and overall nutrition, beef liver should be fed in moderation because excess vitamin A can cause toxicity, its richness may upset sensitive stomachs or contribute to pancreatitis in predisposed pets, and proper sourcing/processing is important to minimize contaminant or bacterial risks.
04
Quinoa
Quinoa is used in pet foods as a cooked pseudo‑grain providing digestible carbohydrates, fiber and a relatively high‑quality plant protein with a broad amino acid profile. It supplies B vitamins and minerals (e.g., iron, magnesium) and can be a useful energy and fiber source for dogs, but should be cooked and rinsed to remove bitter saponins, offered in moderation due to calorie density and potential digestive upset, and it should not replace essential animal‑derived nutrients (such as taurine) required by cats.
View ingredient
05
Coconut Glycerin
Coconut glycerin is a plant-derived glycerol used in pet foods as a humectant and mild sweetening/texture agent to retain moisture, improve mouthfeel and palatability, and serve as a solvent or mild preservative in soft treats, toppers, and wet formulas. It provides easily metabolized calories and is generally safe for dogs and cats in small amounts, but high levels can cause gastrointestinal upset or laxative effects, so manufacturers should ensure purity, account for added calories, and note that it is not the dog-toxic sweetener xylitol.
