We feed our dogs venison on occasion, as that's literally the only meat we keep in the freezer.

We have duck and wild hog on occasion too. |
I don't prepare meat for my dogs like I would for myself and the "wild & rich" comment had more to do with the texture than the preparation. I feed raw meat only and as a general rule of thumb, adult dogs need to be transitioned onto new raw meats if you want to avoid a tummy upset, more frequently known as
cannon butt. Puppies and younger dogs can handle new types of meat more easily and quickly. Wild meats like venison, duck, hog, etc. are great and if you're feeding raw, it's a good idea to freeze it solid for about two weeks to kill any unwanted parasites. I wish I could get venison!
