I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this but if you process your own venison/wild hog, etc. it pays to save the scraps you might not even keep for sausage to give to the dogs. I freeze them in small bags and then cook them up occasionally to mix with the regular dog food. Less waste, and the dogs love it. If the animal was shot with a cup and core bullet I don't save much around the bullets path because of the remote chance there might be some tiny lead fragments.

we just give our dogs Ice cubes as treats, they think they are getting something special and it doesn't put any weight on the fat one

These two like, don't love, all manner of fancy treats. But the prospect of processed American cheese will put them into a glassy-eyed trance.

I take the old freezer burnt venison, place in a pan of water, bring it to a boil, and let it cool. Any wonder why my dog loves me.

a vet told me years ago one of the best treats for a dog was saltine crackers. all my dogs have loved em', plus they don't add weight. store-bought treats are very fattening. deer meat gives mine the green apple quick step.

One time my BIL & I shot 2 does out of a herd of mulies - high timber and in snow. They tasted so terrible we couldn't eat it so we made dog meat out of them. The dogs wouldn't eat it either. I don't know what those deer had been eating but it sure ruined the meat.

Wieners are used when teaching something new. My dog has made the connection that when they are used it's time to pay attention and link a behavior with a treat. I never ran across this in a dog before.

Use to give our lab ice cubes and he loved them, but one day I gave hm one and he hurled it back up. We no longer give him ice cubes and now he gets carrots and he loves them. We put them in beef bones(cleaned out) and Kongs and make him work for his goodies.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I just buy dog bones from IAMS.
The dogs will do anything for them and they don't really taste bad.
