Dog Food - Wild Venison Medallions

Our dog food medallions are sold frozen in 1Kg resealable pouches. (Note: Apologies if you have to cut the tear tab). It is best to keep the medallions frozen for longevity as our 'Use By' date is for one year when frozen. Each bone shaped medallions is approximately 57g. There should be between 17-19 medallions in a bag.

We recommend taking out your daily feed each night and thawing it in the fridge. Feed half the daily amount in the morning and the other half at night. Then take out the next days feed to thaw. But some pets dont even mind them frozen!

Our medallions don’t smell bad at all but you can keep them covered if you wish. Some blood may seep out of the medallions when thawing. Your pooch wont mind having this dribbled over their medallions at all! You may like to mash up the medallions but they are fine just as one piece or part thereof. 

TIP: For fussy eaters it can be a good idea to quickly sear the outside of the medallions. Use a small amount of sunflower or canola oil – but don't cook them through.

Dog Treats and Chews

Feeding advice

WildHQ Treats and Chews are air-dried very slowly at a controlled temperature that will not alter the molecular structure of the protein and still capture all the tasty nutrients and flavours inside it.

The treats and chews are whole protein products - we do not mix our proteins. There are no additives or preservatives added to our treats or chews. 

These treats and chews are a treat food only. They are not a complete and balanced meal (refer to https://www.wildhq.nz/collections/meals for these).

Please always supervise your pet when feeding treats and chews. Some dogs are 'inhalers' and like many of us don't chew their food enough - so there is always a risk that large pieces of bone, cartilage etc could cause airway or intestinal blockages. If you're in doubt that your pooch will digest the treat or chew safely - don't give it.

Because these are a dehydrated product always provide lots of fresh water for your pet to rehydrate.

Our Wild Venison Liver Treats are an excellent way to introduce new dogs and puppies to the taste of raw wild game. These are an excellent product for dog/puppy training because they break up easily into nice little bits (so you don't go through so much!) to reward them with.

Storage Tip; It is best to keep your air-dried treats and chews in a cool and dry room -preferably in an air-tight container. Too much exposure to sunlight or moisture may cause them to grow mould. 

Chews for puppies

Antler is generally too hard a chew for young puppies baby teeth - so avoid those until they are adults. Good chews for puppies are the Golden Sinew (it's like doggy bubble gum - really chewy - but without the bone). Tongue, brisket, brisket wings, neck chops and half-hooves are also good for puppies - dependent on the breed.

Cat Food - Wild Venison Mince

Our mince cat food is sold frozen. It is best to keep it frozen and thaw it slowly (see Feeding Tip below). The food will keep well for 7 days once refrigerated. It may grey slightly over time but just give it a stir to refresh it. It will not be smelly like other cat foods.

Our cat (and kitten) food has taurine included in the recipe as an essential amino acid. It is exclusively found in animal-based proteins. It is critical for normal vision, digestion, heart muscle function, to maintain normal pregnancy and fetal development, and to maintain a healthy immune system.

Cat Food – Feeding Tip

Cats are notoriously fussy eaters right. So here’s a tip to help you entice your cat into liking its food. Humans have 9,000 taste buds compared to a cats’ 473! Cats make up for this taste deficiency with a superior sense of smell. Their most powerful response to food is through smell, not taste.

So, our frozen cat mince needs to be ‘slowly’ defrosted to release all the tasty wild smells your cat will love. (We dont recommend microwaving it). Its best to keep the mince frozen until you need the feed portion. If you defrost all of the pottle the smell quality will deteriorate over the 7 ‘use by’ days.

Tip: To defrost the mince slowly spoon the feed portion of mince required into a plastic container or bag - and immerse that into some hot water until it's thawed to room temperature. Then serve the mince into your cats bowl. Your cat will then be able to smell it from up to 50 metres away!
