Freeze-Dried Pheasant Heads
Whole Prey. Freeze Dried. NOVEL PROTEIN
Pheasant heads freeze dried raw, exactly as they come. Meat, bone, cartilage, and brain tissue all intact, all preserved without heat or additives. The convenience of a shelf-stable treat with the nutritional integrity of raw.
Freeze Dried Pheasant Heads deliver everything the raw version does, just without the freezer requirement. Pheasant is a lean, novel protein that works especially well for dogs with sensitivities to common proteins like chicken or beef. The skull structure contains a mix of thin cranial bone and dense cartilage, both of which are soft enough to crunch through safely and fully digestible. The brain tissue adds a concentrated hit of fat-soluble nutrients and essential fatty acids that you simply do not get from muscle meat alone. Freeze drying locks all of it in by removing moisture at low temperature, so nothing is cooked, nothing is degraded, and no preservatives are needed to keep it shelf stable. Hormone and antibiotic free. Single ingredient.
Raw Feeding Fact
Pheasant is classified as a novel protein in veterinary nutrition, meaning it has a low probability of triggering an immune-mediated food reaction in dogs that have never been exposed to it before. This makes it one of the proteins of choice in elimination diet trials used to diagnose adverse food reactions. A study published in Veterinary Dermatology found that strict novel protein elimination diets resolved clinical signs of food hypersensitivity in over 60% of dogs within 8 weeks. For owners managing dogs with chronic itching, recurrent ear infections, or gastrointestinal sensitivity, rotating in a genuinely novel protein like pheasant is a practical, food-first strategy before pursuing pharmaceutical options.
