Best Dog treat

Most dog treats meet the natural taste of dogs and consist entirely or predominantly of dried or otherwise preserved meat. Many of these dog snacks consist of beef, pork or poultry meat, some of which are processed special organs. For example, dog snacks from beef stomachs (rumen, leaf stomach) are popular and healthy. Other products such as dried beef, pork and rabbit ears are also in demand as dog snacks. Other meat-based treats come from lamb, goat, horse or buffalo. In this country there are also dog delicacies made from venison or deer meat. Especially from the USA dog food comes from exotic meat species like crocodile, alligator or ostrich. There are also fish dog snacks on the market, with salmon meat products predominant in Germany. On foreign markets such as the USA, Canada, Japan or Australia, dog treats made from shark, ray or tuna meat are also very much in demand, but in Germany they are only offered in part for species protection reasons. Many dog snacks are based on cereals and/or vegetables and are partly vegetarian or vegan. Combined products made from meat or fish and cereals or vegetables are becoming increasingly popular. Some meat products process exclusively or predominantly meat from certain organs. These include products made from beef scalp, beef stomach, pig ears, poultry or rabbit liver.

Many dog treats are made in stripes or bone form. Chewing bones, chewing rings or chewing balls, which are also used for targeted dental hygiene, are popular. In addition, there are lifelike – mostly dried – products such as pig ears, antler snacks or masticatory roots. In addition, there are classic biscuits or drops, which are particularly suitable for smaller dogs. In addition to fresh products that can only be kept for a short time, there are dog treats made from meat that can be kept for a long time. These include buffalo skin snacks as well as dried meat snacks. Soft and spreadable products reminiscent of liver or tea sausages are becoming increasingly popular. There is a large variety of creamy products here, consisting of poultry meat, salmon meat or bacon, for example.

Who would like to reward and spoil his dog with treats, should pay attention to select only healthy, well-tolerated products. Dog snacks are perfect for use as part of diet programmes designed to reduce weight. If health deficits such as allergies or food intolerances are known, these should also be taken into account when selecting dog treats. There are a variety of non-allergenic, low-fat, gluten- and sugar-free products. If necessary, an allergy check should be carried out by a veterinarian, the results of which can serve as the basis for a proper selection of dog food in general and dog snacks in particular. When buying dog treats, you can also select products that do not contain any substances that trigger allergic reactions in your dog. Since dogs also have a wide range of allergies and food intolerances, you should look for products that are completely free of hazardous substances. For example, if your dog suffers from an allergy to poultry meat, you will find a variety of dog snacks that do not contain poultry meat. As a rule, the packaging provides information on the composition of the feed. However, the small print on the packaging should be taken into account, as sometimes additives are present in small quantities or in traces that do not match the name of the product. Many dog treats are low-fat, sugar- and gluten-free. Low-fat and sugar-free products are generally preferable. Whether or not gluten-free conditions should also be observed can usually only be answered by consulting a veterinarian. Dog snacks can also be used for prophylactic dental care. Especially suitable for this purpose are dog treats containing eucalyptus oil and/or green tea extracts. There are also suitable products for dogs of all sizes and ages. Multivitamin products and snacks for bone structure prophylaxis are also available.
