Description
Give your dog a walk on the wild side with California Dog Kitchen Venison & Zucchini Gently Cooked Dog Food. Made from free-range, wild-hunted Texas venison, organic quinoa, and organic vegetables, this lean, high-protein recipe is gently cooked and frozen into easy-to-serve cubes — just defrost and serve. Venison is a naturally lean, novel protein, making it a great choice for dogs trying something new or living with sensitivities to common proteins. Designed by a PhD veterinary nutritionist, it’s complete and balanced for all life stages with no preservatives, wheat, corn, or soy. Choose the 16 oz size to try it out or the 4 lb bag for everyday feeding.
Key Features
- Wild-hunted Texas venison: A lean, high-protein novel meat from free-range deer (sourced from Broken Arrow Ranch) — foraged in the wild, never farmed.
- Novel protein: A fresh alternative for dogs sensitive to common proteins like chicken or beef.
- Organic quinoa: A complete plant protein that adds wholesome texture and nutrition.
- Organic produce: 98% of the non-meat ingredients are USDA Certified Organic — zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, and blueberries.
- Gently cooked, then frozen: Locks in nutrients and flavor and arrives as individually frozen cubes for quick thawing.
- Complete & balanced for all life stages: Formulated to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles, including growth of large-breed dogs (70 lbs+ as an adult).
- Vet-nutritionist designed: No preservatives, wheat, corn, or soy.
Ingredients
Venison (muscle, liver, spleen, kidney), organic quinoa, organic zucchini, organic yellow squash, spinach, organic blueberries, coconut oil, dicalcium phosphate, organic cold-pressed sunflower oil, seaweed calcium, sea salt, nutritional yeast, cod liver oil, vitamin E, zinc, manganese, and organic kelp.
How to Serve
- Feeding: Feed 1 cube (about 4 oz) per day for every 10 lbs of your dog’s weight — a 40 lb dog eats about 4 cubes a day. Feed 2–3× more for puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs.
- Transition: Switch over 10 days — 75/25 old-to-new for days 1–4, 50/50 for days 5–9, then 100% by day 10.
- Storage: Keep frozen. Defrost in the refrigerator and use within 5 days of thawing.
Applications
Serve it as a nourishing everyday meal or as a topper to boost any bowl — an excellent choice for dogs with food sensitivities, picky eaters, and pet parents who want a clean, novel protein.
