JR Pet Products Pure Meat Sticks (Venison) — review & rating
Is JR Pet Products Pure Meat Sticks (Venison) a good choice?
A model training treat from a UK maker: one named protein, nothing else, and soft enough to snap into tiny reward-sized pieces. Novel proteins like venison or ostrich make it a strong pick for allergy dogs. As pure meat it is calorie-dense, so it counts toward the daily ration.

Frequently asked questions
Are single-protein treats worth it for a non-allergic dog?
Yes — a short, clear ingredient list means fewer unwanted additives, and a dog already used to single proteins makes any future elimination diet far easier to run.
How many training treats per day?
Keep all treats to about 10% of daily calories. Because these are pure meat, break them small and, where possible, deduct the equivalent from the dog's main meal.
