What makes this anchovy treat an easy and natural choice for dogs?
The ingredient list is just one line: 100% dried Atlantic anchovy. The single-protein and grain-free recipe suits most dogs, including those with sensitive stomachs. The small, crunchy pieces are neat to handle during training and everyday rewarding.
How does this support an ecological choice in everyday life?
A simple recipe and low-temperature air drying keep processing to a minimum – less unnecessary, more genuine. The raw material comes from the Atlantic coast of Huelva, and the manufacturer relies on the traditional landscapes of Extremadura and the transparent “Made of Extremadura” philosophy. When you want to reward your dog with simple ingredients, this is an easy way to reduce the ingredient footprint.
Where does this come from – and why does origin matter?
The fish are caught from the Atlantic off the coast of Huelva, and the products are developed and packed in Spain. The dehesa landscapes of Extremadura, oak and meadow zones, and the diversity of grazing are reflected in the brand’s philosophy: short ingredient lists and thoughtful processing.
Is this a good training treat for an active dog?
Yes – the pieces are already small and crunchy, so the pocket stays clean and the reward hits the right moment. They work well for quick repetitions, for example with border collies, poodles, or Australian shepherds. Give as a single “click moment” reward and save a few pieces as a “jackpot”.
Is this suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Often suitable, because the composition is grain-free and single-protein without additives or preservatives. Start cautiously and observe your dog’s condition – for example, Shetland sheepdogs, whippets, and lagottos often benefit from clear ingredients. If the dog has had a previous reaction to fish, test first with one piece.
What does the nutritional content tell me?
Analytically: crude protein 67%, fat 12%, fiber 1%, moisture 10%, and ash 4% (natural product – values may vary). Practically, you get a lot of animal protein without fillers – a small but effective reward after a walk or training.
What size breeds are the pieces suitable for?
Small pieces are suitable as is for toy poodles, papillons, and miniature schnauzers. For medium-sized breeds (e.g., cocker spaniel, collie) and large breeds (golden retriever, Samoyed), you can give several pieces at once or use them carefully dosed during training.
Can puppies eat these?
Yes. Introduce gradually and keep the amount moderate to maintain balanced daily energy intake. The pieces work well as first “training treats” for puppies such as mittelspitz, Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, or border collie.
How much and how often should I give?
Treats up to about 10% of the dog’s daily energy. A few pieces for a small dog, a bit more for medium-sized, a handful for large dogs depending on the situation. Monitor the dog’s weight and stool quality – they indicate if the amount is appropriate.
Does it smell on the hands or crumble in the pocket?
The natural fish smell is attractive to dogs, but the pieces are dried and firm, so they usually don’t get sticky. Close the bag after use to keep the smell inside and the texture crisp.
Does it work with different feeding methods (BARF, homemade food, kibble)?
Yes. The single-ingredient, grain-free, and additive-free composition suits most feeding models without disrupting the daily balance. You can give it as a reward as is or sprinkle a few pieces on food to increase palatability.
Is this good for a picky dog?
Often yes – the natural fish flavor attracts many picky eaters as well. Try “winning through”: hide a couple of pieces in a snuffle mat and let the dog find them itself. For example, cocker spaniels and lagottos often get more motivated to eat this way.
How do I keep the treat fresh and safe?
Keep the bag in a dry and cool place, away from sunlight. The product does not require refrigeration; always close the resealable bag carefully. Offer under supervision and always keep fresh water available.
Are these also suitable for cats – and how do I start?
Yes. The small, crunchy pieces easily serve as cat training treats or as a “sprinkle” on food. Start with one piece and increase if needed – for example, Bengal, Ragdoll, and Maine Coon cats often get excited by the smell.
What package size should I try for a cat?
45 g is convenient for trying out and occasional rewarding. If you have multiple cats at home or use the pieces for enrichment, 400 g is a cost-effective everyday package. Always close the bag carefully to keep the smell attractive for the next playtime.
