For dogs they become one of their favourite delicacies and a reward at the same time. They have an irresistible smell that keeps your four-legged darling fully focused even during demanding training.
Dried meat treats are made using FRESH MEAT. When the meat treat is enriched with e.g. spinach, blueberries, herbs, algae etc., the fresh meat (minced) and the other ingredients are processed very gently. They are then slowly dried into the desired shape. This production method preserves all the valuable nutrients. A treat in this form contains no preservatives, artificial vitamins, flavourings or colourings. It's easy on the digestive tract and also adds protein, collagen, calcium, phosphorus and elastin. This benefits the condition of cartilage, ligaments and joints. On top of that, chewing dried meat strengthens the gums and teeth and cleans the teeth.
You can choose from a wide range of types, and from many shapes and textures too. Most often you'll come across dried meat treats made from chicken, duck, beef, lamb, pork and venison. Dried fish treats are also popular and appealing.

A final word of warning – not all dried meat is real “dried meat”
When reading product ingredients, focus on the origin of the meat. Check whether it really is a meat delicacy made from FRESH meat (that's the only way to guarantee the best quality, nutritional value and taste) Be careful when the ingredients say dehydrated or dried meat. It's very likely to be “dried meat” behind which manufacturers like to hide meat meal (meat processed into a dry powder; although it contains a lot of protein, its nutritional values are much lower than those of fresh meat and it's considerably harder to digest. Protein utilisation is around 61 %, whereas with fresh meat a dog's body can use up to 95 % of the protein). Unfortunately, such treats are usually topped up with flavourings, starches and other unsuitable substances.
