1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—prevents wilderness chew disasters.
2. Mix shredded venison, mashed blueberries, coconut flour, egg, and melted coconut oil until beautifully combined with purple streaks.
3. Roll mixture into small balls, then flatten into chew shapes about 1/2 inch thick for perfect chewing satisfaction.
4. Place chews on baking sheet with space between each for even cooking (if your wild pup can contain their excitement).
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm and holding their shape when gently pressed.
6. Allow to cool completely before serving (always let cool completely for safety and flavor development).

Notes:

• Always let cool completely before serving—prevents burned tongues and lets wild flavors meld perfectly
• Make them about 1/2 inch thick for satisfying chewiness that’s not too tough
• Amber prefers these at room temperature for maximum wild game aroma

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week
• Venison content means these must stay cold—don’t leave them out or they’ll spoil
• Freeze for up to 3 months for special wilderness celebrations

What Makes This Recipe Special:

Using venison as a novel protein makes these perfect for dogs with common food allergies, while blueberries provide antioxidants that support overall health. The grain-free coconut flour creates satisfying chewiness that honors dogs’ natural chewing instincts while delivering premium nutrition.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

• Joint Support Version: Add tiny pinch of turmeric for senior dogs like Amber
• Autumn Harvest: Include finely chopped cranberries with blueberries for extra tartness
