JustFoodForDogs Venison and Squash is a refrigerated or frozen fresh recipe hand prepared using high quality lean ground venison the manufacturer sources from New Zealand. Ground venison is the first ingredient by pre cooking weight, followed by butternut squash, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and cranberries, giving venison a novel protein role since it appears in none of the manufacturer's other core recipes. The label describes the recipe as higher in protein, intended to provide a seamless transition for dogs currently eating a raw diet, and covers maintenance nutrition rather than an all life stages claim. The AAFCO language on this page is a nutritional adequacy comparison statement rather than the manufacturer's own completed feeding trial or formulation statement used on its other recipes, which is a distinction worth reading carefully. JustFoodForDogs sells the recipe in 18 ounce packages with a shelf life of up to 18 months frozen. Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list.
