There's something magical about the way a dog's eyes light up at the sound of a rustling bag. But did you know that a good treat does much more than just make your dog happy for a moment? The right treat is a real nutritional supplement, dental care tool, and stress reliever all in one. Let's take a look at the treasures lurking on our shelves - and why it's worth choosing them consciously!
Drying: the simple magic
Teomann products – whether they are snacks made from beef, lamb or duck – are all based on the same principle: slow, air-drying. This is no coincidence. Unlike high-temperature, fast processes, air-drying preserves the vitamins and nutrients in the meat, while ensuring a long shelf life without preservatives or artificial additives. The end result: a 100% natural, pure protein source, without colouring.
Have you ever wondered how much a simple dried snack can tell you about quality? If you look at the composition of dried beef lung, you will see: almost 75% crude protein, minimal fat content. This is a hearty yet easily digestible snack, perfect as a reward between meals.
Why is chewing so important?
Chewing isn't just a pastime - it's a natural instinct for dogs, and it has serious physiological benefits. Hard, fibrous treats like dried duck neck or beef scalp mechanically remove plaque from teeth as they chew, reducing the chance of tartar buildup. They also massage the gums and strengthen the chewing muscles - so while your dog is enjoying the moment, they're actually "exercising" themselves.
This is especially useful for dogs who have a hard time accepting brushing (let's face it, quite a few dogs are a fan of it). A well-chosen chew is the most natural "toothbrush substitute".
The fish: the hidden superstar
Many people underestimate fish treats, but dried sprats are a real nutritional powerhouse. Omega-3 fatty acids – which are abundant in them – have been shown to contribute to heart, eye, brain, skin and joint health. If you have an aging dog or just want to prevent joint problems, a handful of fish treats can be a serious ally.
There's another exciting addition: products made from sustainably caught, wild fish are not only good for your dog, but also for the environment – as fish species are used whose populations are stable and fishing does not endanger the ecosystem.
Training snack: the small piece that can do big things
One of the basic rules of dog training is that the reward should be quick and the perfect size – no one wants to wait for minutes for their dog to chew a huge piece while they should be concentrating on the next command. That’s exactly why mini training snacks were created: they are barely 1-1.5 cm, they don’t get greasy, they don’t get in the way of your pocket, and they can be eaten in a flash. This way, there is almost no break between the reward and the next exercise – and this is one of the keys to effective learning.
More exotic protein sources – why is it good to have a choice?
It may come as a surprise, but the range also includes protein sources such as camel or water buffalo. There is a serious reason for this: so-called "exotic proteins" are often recommended for dogs with sensitive digestion and allergies, because the dog's body has probably not encountered these types of meat before, so the chance of an allergic reaction is much lower. If your dog already reacts to the usual beef or chicken-based products, it is worth trying these alternatives.
What to definitely pay attention to
No matter how exciting the offer is, there are some basic rules that should never be broken:
Always have fresh water nearby – dried snacks are concentrated, and the body needs fluid to process them.
Store products in a dry place, protected from sunlight,
