Wild Antler Wild Boar & Venison is a grain-free complete wet working dog food with a high game meat content: 39% wild boar and 25% venison, totalling 64% meat across two proteins. The recipe also includes broth, carrots, coconut, glucosamine (0.09%), and chondroitin (0.03%) — naturally occurring joint support compounds that make it a practical choice for active and working dogs. No chicken, no grain, no artificial additives. Feeds as a complete food on its own or alongside dry kibble.

  • 64% game meat — 39% wild boar, 25% venison: Both are relatively novel proteins in the UK dog food market. Wild boar is lean and digestible; venison is low in fat and a useful alternative for dogs with chicken or beef sensitivities. Together they form a protein base that is genuinely different from the chicken or turkey recipes that dominate the wet food market.
  • Glucosamine and chondroitin included: 0.09% glucosamine and 0.03% chondroitin are added to the recipe — compounds naturally associated with joint cartilage maintenance. In a working dog food, this is a practical inclusion for dogs with high daily activity levels.
  • Grain free, chicken free: No cereals or grains in the recipe. Suitable for dogs on grain-free diets or those with a chicken sensitivity. The fruit addition (1% coconut) contributes lauric acid alongside the borage oil in the recipe.
  • Complete wet food — feeds alone or with kibble: Formulated to FEDIAF guidelines for a complete diet. Can be served as the sole food or mixed with dry food — adjust portions to avoid overfeeding if mixing.
  • 100.22 kcal per 100g (401 kcal per can): A practical energy density for active working dogs fed alongside or in place of dry food.

8.5–15kg 1 to 1½ cans (400–600g)

Common questions

Can this be fed alongside dry kibble?
Yes — it is formulated as a complete food and can be served on its own or mixed with dry kibble. If feeding alongside dry food, reduce the amount of kibble proportionally to avoid overfeeding. A useful starting point is to calculate your dog's daily caloric requirement and split it between the wet and dry food accordingly.
Why does this contain glucosamine and chondroitin?
Glucosamine and chondroitin are compounds naturally found in joint cartilage. They are associated with maintaining joint structure and function — particularly relevant for working dogs that cover significant ground daily. Including them in the recipe provides a baseline of dietary joint support without requiring a separate supplement. At 0.09% glucosamine and 0.03% chondroitin, the levels are supplementary rather than therapeutic.
Is this suitable for non-working dogs?
Yes — "working dog" describes the positioning and protein profile, not a strict feeding restriction. Any adult dog can be fed this food. The grain-free game protein recipe makes it a useful choice for owners wanting a novel protein, for dogs with chicken or beef sensitivities, or simply for owners who prefer a game-led recipe. Adjust portion sizes to reflect your dog's actual activity level rather than the working dog guide if they are less active.
What makes wild boar and venison different from chicken or beef?
Wild boar and venison are both game proteins that most UK dogs have had limited exposure to, reducing the likelihood of a developed sensitivity. Venison is particularly lean — lower in fat than most red meats — and is often used in elimination diet recipes. Wild boar has a richer flavour profile than farmed pork and is also relatively lean. For dogs that have been cycling through chicken, beef, and lamb recipes, this is a genuinely different protein offering.
Is this suitable for puppies?
The feeding guide covers adult dogs only. Puppies have different nutritional requirements — including higher energy density, specific calcium-to-phosphorus ratios, and DHA for brain development — which are not guaranteed to be met by a working dog food formulated for adults. If feeding to a puppy, check with your vet or a qualified canine nutritionist to confirm this food meets your puppy's life-stage requirements.
