Carnilove Freeze-Dried Raw Treats – Venison & Turkey

Carnilove Freeze-Dried Raw Treats – Venison & Turkey

Venison gives this one its dark colour and the strongest smell in the freeze-dried line, which is exactly what you want from a reward that has to compete with a rabbit in the hedge. It is also the fattiest of the four at 36%, and the most energy-dense at 4,910 kcal/kg.

The name puts venison first but the composition does not: turkey trimmings are 68% and venison trimmings 26%. Carnilove reversed the order on the successor product to Turkey & Venison, which is the accurate way round. Buy it for the venison flavour rather than as a venison-exclusion treat.

Performance & Benefits

• 94% fresh meat and organs, declared as 68% turkey trimmings and 26% venison trimmings.
• 36% crude fat and 4,910 kcal/kg — the richest of the Carnilove freeze-dried treats.
• 40% crude protein.
• Freeze-dried at low temperature, keeping the aroma dogs respond to.
• Lignocellulose at 2% with pea flour, and no grain or potato.
• Preserved with citric acid and natural antioxidants including ascorbyl palmitate.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs needing the highest-value reward available for difficult recall work.
• Dogs that ignore lighter-smelling treats outdoors.
• Use as a topper over a meal for a dog off its food.
• Dogs that eat game meats happily.
• Not a venison-exclusion treat, since turkey is the majority meat — for a single-protein reward use the Carnilove Freeze-Dried Raw Treats Lamb or the Carnilove Meat Jerky Beef Fillet 100g.

Feeding

• Complementary feed. Serve as a snack or crumbled over the main meal.
• Small dogs 1–10kg: 2 pieces, or 5g as a topper.

• Large dogs over 25kg: 4 or more pieces, or 10g and upwards as a topper.
• Reduce the daily ration to allow for them — at 4,910 kcal/kg they add up quickly.
• Reseal the pack after use and keep fresh water available.
