Seasonal game meat and its benefits for dogs and cats
What is game meat?
A meat is considered ‘game’ if it is hunted in the wild rather than domestically farmed and slaughtered. Whilst game meat today can be farm-raised, it is still non-domesticated and free-ranging.
Game meats can be split into three groups: winged game (e.g. pheasant, partridge, duck), ground game (e.g. rabbit, hare, squirrel), and big game (e.g. venison, buffalo, wild boar).
High in protein and low in fat
Game meats are traditionally leaner than farmed meat. This is because they are completely free range and eat a natural diet, meaning they are physically lean and healthy as animals themselves, which is translated into their muscles, organs, and therefore their ‘meat’. Game meats are a great choice for pets needing to manage their weight and pets with pancreatic illnesses.
Nutrient dense
Game meats such as venison, rabbit and duck, are all exceptionally rich in nutrients such as high-quality protein, omega-3 & 6 fatty acids, iron, vitamins E, beta carotene, zinc, vitamin B6 and selenium. Alongside their low fat and low cholesterol content, they make a very nutritious protein choice for healthy raw meals.
Allergy friendly
Game meats tend to be more suitable for pets that have allergies to more common farmed meats such as beef and chicken. It is less likely that pets will have allergies to meats such as venison, duck and rabbit, as typically they have had less exposure to these types of protein.
