Dog snacks: Why quality counts and what you should pay attention to
Dogs love snacks - and we love to make them happy. But have you ever wondered what's really in the treats you give your dog? Many retail products seem tasty and practical at first glance, but a look at the ingredients shows that not everything that smells good and is eaten with pleasure is actually good for your dog.
Cheap dog snacks – what’s really in them?
Many cheap dog treats from the supermarket contain not only meat, but also lots of animal by-products, fillers and artificial additives. But what exactly does that mean?
🚫 Animal by-products – These often include low-quality slaughterhouse waste such as tendons, hooves or feathers. These provide hardly any valuable nutrients and are difficult for dogs to digest.
🚫 Lots of grain, little meat – Cheap snacks often contain large amounts of grain or soy to reduce production costs. These ingredients are not necessary for dogs and can even promote intolerances.
🚫 Artificial additives – Sugar, colors and attractants make the snack more “attractive” but have no nutritional benefit.
The problem: The dog's body is often unable to properly utilize such low-quality ingredients. The result is digestive problems, flatulence or soft stools. In the long term, poor nutrition can weaken the immune system or even promote allergies.
The Problem with Allergies – Why Not Every Dog Can Tolerate Everything
More and more dogs are developing food allergies or intolerances. Beef and chicken in particular are high on the list of the most common allergens.
❗ Why? Many dogs have been fed beef or chicken-based food and snacks for years. The constant intake of these proteins can eventually cause the body to overreact - and develop an allergy.
❗ How do you recognize a food intolerance?
- Itching, frequent scratching or licking of the paws
- Digestive problems such as diarrhea or flatulence
- Recurrent ear infections or skin problems
💡 The solution? Do you recognize such signs in your furry friend? Then you should of course discuss this with your vet. High-quality monoprotein snacks can help!
Our natural snacks consist of just one type of meat – for example horse, lamb or rabbit. This makes them ideal for sensitive dogs or those with allergies.
High-quality snacks don’t have to be expensive!
Good dog snacks don't always have to cost the earth - but quality has its price. The difference:
High-quality snacks contain real meat and are nutritious, so your dog needs less to be full and satisfied.
Cheap snacks consist of empty fillers that do not provide any real nutrients and only provide short-term satiety.
💡 Invest in fewer but better snacks – your dog will thank you!
