Why We Make Our Treats with Maui Axis Deer

Every bag of Mana Ohana Treats starts right here on Maui. Here’s why axis deer is at the heart of what we make.

An island in need of balance

Axis deer aren’t native to Hawaiʻi, and their overpopulated herds put real pressure on the island’s native ecosystem. Using wild-harvested deer for our treats means every bag supports your dog and the ʻāina.

Lean, clean protein

Venison is naturally lean and rich in protein. We slice it and dehydrate it raw, in small batches, so it keeps its natural nutrients and flavor — with nothing added.

Made by our family

We make every batch ourselves, the same way we’d make treats for our own dogs. From our ʻohana to yours — mahalo for being part of it.
