What makes these Atlantic tuna fillets a natural, easy treat?
The recipe is single-ingredient: air-dried tuna (skin and meat) without grains or artificial preservatives. Slow drying preserves the authentic flavor and makes the pieces firm but easy to enjoy. An easy choice when you want a short ingredient list and a clean training treat for everyday use.
How do the pieces feel – are they suitable for those who prefer softer chewing?
Yes. The hardness is low, so the pieces are also suitable for smaller mouths and dogs that do not enjoy hard chewing. About 10 cm long strips can be given as is or broken into smaller pieces.
Who is the piece size suitable for and how do I dose for different breeds?
For small dogs (papillon, toy poodle, miniature schnauzer), 1–2 small pieces at a time are enough. For medium-sized dogs (Shetland sheepdog, cocker spaniel, lagotto), the piece can be given whole; for large dogs (golden retriever, Labrador retriever, Belgian shepherd), several pieces or as a “jackpot” for success. Always remember to measure your own dog and adjust the amount according to daily activity.
Can puppies or seniors eat these?
Yes. Start with a small amount and calmly observe the stomach and mouth response. The somewhat soft texture often suits both first training sessions (e.g., mittelspitz, border collie) and older teeth.
Why does this work as a training treat and for sniffing games?
The narrow, crispy strips are easy to break into precise rewards, making the “click moment” hit perfectly. Hidden in a sniffing mat, they arouse curiosity and calm down after activity – works great for example with poodles, tollers, and Australian shepherds.
Is it suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs or food allergies?
Often suitable, because it is a single-protein fish product without grains and additives. If the dog has previous sensitivity to fish, start with one crumb and monitor condition for 24–48 hours.
What does “cecina de atún” practically mean?
It is air-dried tuna: thin skin–meat strips dried at low temperature. The result is a natural, fragrant, and easily portioned treat.
Can this be used as a “dental snack” moment?
Yes, as a light chew that extends the moment and provides some mechanical wiping. If your dog has a very strong jaw and needs a challenge (e.g., Belgian shepherd, Siberian husky), this works better as a reward than as a long-lasting chew product.
How many treats per day is appropriate?
Keep treats to a maximum of about 10% of the daily total energy. Monitor weight and stool quality – they indicate if the amount is right.
What does the nutritional content look like in everyday use?
Air-dried tuna is naturally high in protein and low in fat, without unnecessary fillers. It is a light, tasty addition for example as a recovery reward after walks.
Is it suitable for different feeding methods (BARF, home-cooked, kibble)?
Yes. The single-ingredient, grain-free composition fits most feeding models without disrupting the whole. You can give it as is, break into small training treats, or sprinkle a few pieces on food to enhance palatability.
How do I keep the treats fresh?
Keep the bag in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, and close it carefully after use. Always offer under supervision and keep fresh water available. Check the best before date on the package.
Is a 65 g bag enough – what is it best used for?
65 g is handy for a training pocket, testing, and occasional rewarding. If there are multiple dogs in the household (e.g., a sheltie and whippet combo) or you do a lot of sniffing games, get several bags at once – and dose according to size and activity.
Can this be given to cats – and how do I start?
Yes. Start with one small piece and add if needed; many Bengals, Ragdolls, and Maine Coons enjoy the natural fish flavor. Keep the amount small so the main meal stays balanced.
What do I do if my dog “gulps” the pieces immediately?
Break the strip into several small pieces between your fingertips and reward more frequently to slow down the swallowing pace. For strong-jawed large breeds (e.g., Labrador, golden retriever), you can save the pieces for precise training moments and offer a more durable chew product separately for longer chewing.
