From a clinical perspective, it’s everything we aim to deliver in a diet - nutrient-dense, balanced, and aligned with how our pets are naturally designed to eat. Whether fed as a complete meal or added to an existing routine, it’s an easy way to elevate what goes into the bowl each day.
Why Lamb and Venison?
So, what makes K9 Natural and Feline Natural’s newest range, Lamb & Venison, so exciting?
- High in bioavailable B vitamins for energy and vitality
- Rich in Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids for skin, coat, and joint health
- Includes New Zealand Green Mussels for extra Omega-3 boost
- Great for pets with food sensitivities
Venison
Venison is a lean, highly digestible protein that is naturally rich in iron, zinc and bioavailable B vitamins. These nutrients are essential for energy production, nervous system health, red blood cell function, and maintaining a healthy skin and coat. Because B vitamins are water-soluble and not stored extensively in the body, they need to be supplied daily through the diet - making quality sources especially important.
Lamb
Lamb complements this by providing a naturally rich source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Achieving the right balance of these essential fats is critical for supporting skin barrier health, coat condition, immune function, joints, and overall wellbeing.
Together, Lamb and Venison deliver a broad spectrum of nutrients that support both day-to-day vitality and long-term health.
A considered choice for sensitive pets
One of the most exciting aspects of this recipe is its suitability for pets with sensitivities. While not a single-protein diet, venison is considered a more novel protein for many dogs and cats, meaning it is often better tolerated than more commonly used ingredients. When paired with lamb - which many pets already digest well - it creates a balanced, practical option for introducing variety without overwhelming the system. This makes it a great option to consider for pets who may not thrive on more traditional protein sources, while still delivering complete and balanced nutrition.
Formulated with functional benefits in mind
Like all recipes in the Freeze-Dried Feast range, Lamb & Venison includes New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels - one of nature’s richest sources of Omega-3 fatty acids. These play an important role in supporting joint health, mobility, and managing inflammation, adding an additional layer of functional support to the diet.
Combined with nutrient-rich organs and high-quality muscle meat, this recipe delivers naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, reducing the reliance on synthetic additives while still meeting daily nutritional requirements.
How to feed Lamb & Venison Freeze-Dried Feast
One of the advantages of the freeze-dried format is its flexibility. Lamb & Venison can be fed as a complete and balanced everyday diet, or used as a topper to enhance the nutritional value and appeal of an existing meal. This can be especially helpful for encouraging fussy eaters, adding variety, or supporting pets that may benefit from an extra boost of nutrients.
It’s an easy way to improve what’s in the bowl without needing to completely change your current feeding approach.
