Venison Blood
We only use New Zealand grass-fed venison blood as it is rich source of a unique protein that is easier to digest than many other animal proteins. Venison blood contains essential nutrients like iron, protein, vitamins, and minerals, which can contribute to a dog's overall health and well-being.
Protein packed and delicious
Venison blood is packed with high-quality protein, providing essential amino acids that are crucial for a dog’s muscle development and supporting health and long-term vitality. Its rich, savory flavor is also highly appealing to dogs, making it a delicious addition to their regular diet.
Novel protein
Venison blood is considered a novel protein source with a low cholesterol content, making it a healthier choice for dogs, especially those with dietary sensitivities or heart health concerns. Its unique protein profile can help diversify a dog’s diet while minimizing the risk of common allergenic reactions.
Premium quality and purity
New Zealand venison blood is often regarded as superior due to its sourcing from free-range deer that roam in natural habitats, enhancing their health and the quality of the blood. Stringent environmental and quality standards in New Zealand ensure that venison products are pure and free from additives. This results in a venison blood with a richer nutrient profile, characterized by higher levels of beneficial compounds and minimal impurities, making it a premium choice compared to other sources.
Enhancing energy levels
Venison blood can support increased energy levels in dogs by providing a rich source of essential nutrients such as iron, high-quality protein, and B vitamins. These nutrients enhance oxygen transport in the bloodstream, improve muscle function, and boost overall metabolic processes, leading to sustained energy and vitality.
Healthy skin & coat
Venison blood provides essential nutrients such as zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and high-quality protein. These nutrients contribute to maintaining the support of healthy skin and promote a shiny, strong coat by enhancing hair follicle health and overall skin hydration.
Helping support immune function
Deer blood can support healthy immune function in dogs by providing vital nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins. These nutrients play key roles in the production and function of immune cells, enhance the body’s ability to fight off infections, and promote overall resilience against disease.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do
Every aspect of the Totoniks range has sustainability and care for the environment at its heart
Join us in our mission to support the health and wellbeing of our beloved dogs and protect the planet at the same time, one recyclable and naturally delicious package at a time. Watch your dog lap it up and beg for more. Totoniks – a simple yet revolutionary product that takes care of dog hydration and nutrition, naturally and sustainably.
Eco-friendly approach
Unlike many liquid products, which contain a high percentage of water, we believe in a smarter approach. Instead of shipping water across the globe, we empower dog owners to simply add water at home. This approach saves resources and cuts down on unnecessary environmental impact, making our product as eco-friendly as it is effective.
Repurposing
The principal ingredient, venison blood, repurposes a waste product. Venison, a low-cholesterol meat protein enjoyed globally, provides a rich source of bioavailable micronutrients in its blood, which typically goes to waste in the meat-processing system.
Totoniks diverts this valuable resource, transforming it into a beneficial product for dogs. This innovative use of a byproduct supports both the environment and the health of our pets.
Recycleable packaging
Nearly all of our packaging is recyclable: the cardboard box and wrapper, glass mixing bottle, and even the soft plastic sachets can be processed by most recycling facilities. In addition, by offering our product in convenient sachets, Totoniks not only minimises the weight and waste of the products, but also significantly reduces the products’ carbon footprint.
We’d love to hear from you
Totoniks will launch in New Zealand in late 2024 and in the USA in early 2025.
