Who is 100% beef trachea best suited for?
A medium-hard chew cut into rings is ideal for small and medium-sized dogs that need natural activity. Examples: bichon frisé, miniature poodle, Shetland sheepdog, mittelspitz, Parson Russell terrier, and cockapoo. For larger dogs (such as border collie, Labrador retriever, golden retriever, Australian shepherd), it works as a tasty snack or a shorter chewing project. Always supervise chewing and adjust the amount to your dog's style.
How hard and long-lasting is this chew?
The hardness is moderate: crisp activity without the feeling of “crunching iron.” A calm chewer progresses more slowly, while a strong-jawed or gulping dog eats the ring faster. The structure provides meaningful activity without the chewing session becoming excessively long.
How does trachea support oral health?
The firm, grooved surface mechanically cleans teeth and massages gums, supporting fresh breath and oral well-being. This is an excellent addition alongside regular brushing, not a substitute. Remove pieces that have become too small.
What ingredients are in this – are there grains or additives?
Only one ingredient: 100% dried beef trachea. The product is grain-free, without artificial preservatives or colorings. A clear choice when you want a short ingredient list and a natural chewing moment.
How big are the pieces and how many are in the bag?
The bag contains 6 rings, and the length of one ring is typically about 3–5 cm. The small-sized shape is easy to give as is to small and medium-sized breeds. As a natural product, the size of the pieces may vary.
What does the nutritional content look like?
Analytical components: crude protein 72%, crude fat 10%, crude fiber 4%, moisture 4%, and ash 7% (values may vary). Protein-rich, tasty chew as part of a varied diet.
Where does this come from – and why is the origin an ecological plus?
The raw material comes from Spain, mainly from family farms in Extremadura. The Dehesa traditional landscape is a mosaic of oak and pasture meadows, where grazing maintains habitat diversity and the short supply chain supports resource-wise production. By choosing a clear origin and natural drying method, you often make a lighter choice for nature in everyday life.
Is it suitable for puppies and seniors?
Yes, when you consider the condition of teeth and jaw. For puppies (e.g., Lagotto Romagnolo, miniature schnauzer), start with supervised short chewing sessions; for seniors (e.g., Labradoodle, Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever), the medium-hard texture is often pleasant, but always choose a size suitable for your dog. Monitor that chewing remains calm.
What about sensitive stomachs or elimination diets?
A single-protein beef treat makes ingredient management easier. Start with a small amount and observe your dog's condition. If the dog has diagnosed hypersensitivities (especially to beef), follow the veterinarian's instructions.
Can I use these in training and activation?
Absolutely. The ring is a convenient “calming reward” for home or café, and it can be slipped into a small activation toy under supervision. For Parson Russell, whippet, or Sheltie, this offers both activity and a rewarding taste.
Does it smell strongly or make a mess?
The scent is naturally meaty but moderate for most, and the dried texture is neat to handle. Choose a dedicated chewing mat for your dog – the home stays tidy and the chewing moment is more relaxed.
How often should this be given?
Offer as a complementary treat, no more than about 10% of the dog's daily total food. For most dogs, 1–3 chewing sessions per week are enough to satisfy the chewing need without unnecessary energy. Always keep fresh water available.
How do I serve it safely?
Only give under supervision. Choose a ring size suitable for your dog, prevent gulping, and remove pieces that have become too small. If the dog tries to swallow a large piece, interrupt and offer smaller pieces.
For which breeds is the piece size most natural?
For small and medium-sized breeds (bichon frisé, Shelties, mittelspitz, cockapoo), one ring is often a suitable bite-sized piece. For large breeds (border collie, labrador, Siberian husky), the ring can be given less often or used as several small snacks. Always measure and assess your own dog and its chewing strength.
How do I store the product and handle the packaging?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. Close the bag carefully after opening and follow the best before date on the package. Sort the packaging according to local instructions – an easy everyday environmental action.
