Schnauzers are known for their cute beards, energetic personalities, and loyal hearts.
This breed of dog is also prone to health issues, such as Pancreatitis, Bladder Stones and Skin Allergies.
Let’s look at how introducing your Schnauzer to a lean, novel protein, such as venison, can provide optimal nutrition and assist with managing these ailments.
Pancreatitis
Schnauzers are especially prone to pancreatitis – a condition where a dog’s pancreas gets inflamed, often due to eating too much fat. Symptoms include vomiting, belly pain, and low energy. One way to help prevent pancreatitis is by feeding your Schnauzer a low-fat diet. Venison is a great choice because it’s naturally lean.
Bladder Stones
Bladder stones can form when certain minerals build up in your Schnauzer’s urinary tract. This can cause painful urination, blood in the urine, or frequent potty trips. Diet plays a big role in managing bladder health, and venison can be a helpful addition. Because venison is a novel protein, it’s easier for Schnauzers to digest and doesn’t contain high levels of certain minerals, like magnesium, that contribute to bladder stones. By offering venison as a main protein source, you can reduce the chances of stones forming and help keep your Schnauzer’s urinary system in check.
Skin Allergies
Schnauzers are known to have sensitive skin, which can lead to itching, redness, and even hair loss. Food allergies often play a role, especially when dogs eat common proteins like chicken or beef. If your Schnauzer is scratching more than usual, it could be due to an allergy.
Venison is a hypoallergenic protein, meaning it’s less likely to cause allergic reactions. By switching to a venison-based diet, you may notice your Schnauzer’s skin clearing up and their coat looking shinier and healthier. Our wild New Zealand Venison provides a clean, natural alternative to common proteins, helping to soothe sensitive skin and reduce allergic reactions.
Extra Tip: Schnauzers are also known to eat quickly, so you could look into using a slow feeder or offering several small meals throughout the day to ensure they avoid any stomach issues.
By feeding your Schnauzer a raw venison diet, you’re not only treating their taste buds but also helping prevent and manage common breed health issues.
