What makes 100% mouflon an ecological choice?
One ingredient, no grains or unnecessary additives – a short and clear recipe reduces processing. Gentle drying preserves natural aromas without heavy treatment. By utilizing one recognizable raw material, the footprint of the treat moment remains lighter in everyday life.
Where does this come from and why is the starting point special?
Mr.Bones makes its recipe in Extremadura, Spain – in the mosaic of dehesa pastures, ancient oak forests, and river valleys. Traditional grazing maintains habitats for pollinators, insects, and migratory birds, and this biodiversity is reflected in the raw material’s pure, recognizable flavor.
What exactly is this product?
A single-protein treat: 100% mouflon meat, dried at a low temperature. No additives, flours, or colorings – a short ingredient list makes choices easier even for more sensitive dogs.
Who are the mouflon pieces best suited for?
For dogs of all sizes as a natural treat or reward. For small and medium breeds (bichon frisé, toy poodle, Shetland sheepdog, mittelspitz, parson russell terrier, cockapoo) the pieces are often already appropriately sized; for larger breeds (border collie, Labrador retriever, golden retriever, Australian shepherd) they work as tasty training treats. Always supervise chewing and adjust the amount to your dog’s style.
What is the texture and hardness like?
The texture is small and crunchy – easy to chew without a “grinding iron” sensation. It is neat to handle and not sticky, so rewarding works well indoors and on the go.
What does mouflon offer nutritionally to the dog?
Game meat is naturally high in protein and often moderate in fat – good when you want a lot of flavor and protein in a small amount. The single-protein recipe makes tracking the raw material easy, and the crunchy mouthfeel motivates many dogs to chew calmly. Served as a complementary feed as part of a varied diet.
Is it suitable for puppies and seniors?
Often suitable when you consider the condition of teeth and jaw. For puppies (e.g., lagotto romagnolo, miniature schnauzer) start with small pieces in a calm moment; for seniors (e.g., labradoodle, golden retriever) a crunchy but not rock-hard mouthfeel is often pleasant.
What about sensitive stomachs or elimination diets?
The single-protein (mouflon) recipe makes ingredient management easier and offers an alternative to more common proteins. Start with a small amount and monitor your dog’s condition; if the dog has diagnosed hypersensitivities, follow the veterinarian’s instructions.
Can this be used in training and activation?
Absolutely. Small pieces crumble into neat bite-sized pieces for nose work, sniff mats, and everyday obedience – whippet, cockapoo, and parson russell terrier happily work for a natural, meaty reward.
How often can I offer it?
As a complementary treat – a good rule of thumb is no more than about 10% of the dog’s daily total food. For most dogs, 2–4 “treat moments” per week works excellently; adjust the amount according to size, activity, and stomach. Always keep fresh water available.
What does the nutritional content look like?
Analytical constituents: crude protein 69%, crude fat 11%, crude fiber 10%, moisture 3%, and ash 3%. Game meat is “dense” protein – a small amount is enough to reward effectively, which makes dosing easier in everyday life.
What is the packaging and dosing like?
A practical 45 g zip bag keeps the pieces fresh and makes dosing effortless. Small, uniform pieces are easy to give individually or break into even smaller pieces.
How do I serve safely?
Only give under supervision, adjust the piece size to suit your dog, and remove pieces that crumble too small. If the dog tries to swallow large pieces by gulping, stop and offer smaller pieces.
Can I give it to cats too?
Yes – the product is labeled as suitable for dogs and cats as a complementary feed. Offer to cats in small pieces and start moderately to keep stomach function calm.
What convinces about the brand from the perspective of ecology and origin?
Mr.Bones’ recipes are created in Extremadura: local production, clear ingredients, and gentle drying respect both the raw material and the diverse nature of the dehesa landscape. That is why the choice is simultaneously tasty for the dog and lighter on the environment in everyday life.
