Verified Oct 12, 2026
A high-protein, freeze-dried treat made primarily from elk and venison, including ground bone for natural minerals. It’s designed for dogs of all life stages and can be used as a reward or a rich topper to boost the meat content of regular meals. Added salmon and flaxseed oils, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics make it more nutritionally complete than a typical treat.

Top Pick
This is a meat-rich, freeze-dried treat that is formulated to be complete and balanced for dogs of all life stages, though in practice most owners will use it as a treat or meal supplement. Elk and venison offer novel proteins that may suit some dogs who don’t do well on more common meats. Because it’s calorie-dense and very high in protein and fat, it’s best used thoughtfully, especially for dogs who gain weight easily.

Strengths
- Elk and venison are the main ingredients, giving dogs highly digestible animal protein and natural minerals from bone.
- The recipe is AAFCO-formulated as complete and balanced for all life stages, which is uncommon for treats.
- Salmon oil and flaxseed oil provide beneficial omega fatty acids to support skin, coat, and overall health.
- Includes added vitamins, minerals, taurine, and probiotic cultures, making it more nutritionally robust than simple meat treats.
Considerations
- Elk, venison, and salmon are animal proteins, so this won’t be suitable if your dog is allergic to these meats or to fish in general.
- At about 2.5 calories per small treat and 4,375 kcal/kg, it is quite calorie-dense, so portion control is important, especially for dogs prone to weight gain.
- The high protein and fat levels may be too rich for some dogs with sensitive digestion or those who need lower-fat diets.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Elk
Elk is used as a novel, lean red-meat protein in dog and cat foods, providing high-quality protein, essential amino acids and micronutrients like B vitamins, iron and zinc. It is often included in limited-ingredient or alternative-protein diets for animals with sensitivities, but formulations must be nutrient- and taurine-balanced for cats, and owners should consider sourcing/processing safety and that high-protein diets may not be appropriate for pets with certain kidney or metabolic conditions.

02
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).

03
Elk Bone
Elk bone is used in pet diets and treats either whole as a chew or ground as bone meal to provide concentrated minerals—primarily calcium and phosphorus—and some connective tissue components. It can offer dental enrichment and mineral supplementation for dogs when used appropriately, but carries risks of tooth fracture, choking, splintering (especially if cooked), and nutrient imbalance if not formulated correctly, so it should be offered under supervision and is generally not recommended for cats or small dogs.
04
Venison Bone
Venison bone is used in pet foods either ground into bone meal to supply concentrated minerals—especially bioavailable calcium and phosphorus—or offered as whole/raw chews for enrichment, dental abrasion, and added palatability from a novel protein source. While these bones can support skeletal health when balanced within a complete diet, they carry risks including tooth fracture, choking, intestinal obstruction or splintering (particularly if cooked) and potential bacterial contamination, so use should be cautious in pets with dental problems, kidney disease, or diets that require controlled Ca:P ratios.
05
Goat
Goat is used in pet foods as a novel animal protein source—lean and digestible meat that provides high-quality protein and nutrients such as iron and B vitamins, and is often chosen for dogs or cats with sensitivities to common proteins. While it can be a useful alternative in elimination diets, pet parents should ensure the product is formulated to be complete and balanced (including adequate taurine for cats), be aware individual animals can still react, and avoid feeding raw goat due to parasite and bacterial risks.
