What makes this duck neck an ecological choice?

It is a simple single-ingredient product: 100% air-dried duck neck without grains and unnecessary additives. Air drying preserves the natural flavor and reduces the need for heavy processing. The raw materials are primarily sourced locally, and the packaging favors a minimalist, environmentally respectful approach – a good choice when you want less “clutter” and more quality in your everyday life.

Where does this come from and why is “Made of Extremadura” interesting?

The product is from the manufacturer’s home region of Extremadura, Spain – an area known for its dehesa pasture landscapes and long traditions of producing high-quality food. Practically, this means a close relationship with local producers, shorter raw material chains, and respect for the region’s nature. The beautiful, open landscape and peaceful rhythm are also reflected in the product: clear recipes, recognizable raw material, and thoughtful finishing.

How do the nature and biodiversity of the origin show in the product?

The dehesa area is a mosaic of meadows and wooded pastures – a vibrant environment where the balance between nature and traditional agriculture is especially valuable. When raw materials come from such an environment and cooperation with local producers is close, the final product remains simple, transparent, and respectful of the ingredients.

Who is the duck neck best suited for?

For medium and large dogs, it offers a suitable amount of chewing work; for small dogs, under supervision. Examples: Shetland Sheepdog, Miniature Schnauzer, and Mittelspitz benefit from one neck as a long “project treat,” while Border Collie, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, and Australian Shepherd get meaningful activity and chewing pleasure from it. Always measure and monitor your own dog.

How hard and long-lasting is this chew?

The hardness is moderate: crispy and satisfying, but not rock hard. For smaller and calmer chewers, one piece lasts clearly longer than for efficient “gulpers.” Keep the chewing session supervised and remove pieces that have become too small.

What ingredients does it contain – are there grains or additives?

Only one ingredient: 100% dried duck neck. No grains, no preservatives, and no artificial flavor enhancers. As a single-protein product, this is a clear choice when you want to keep your dog’s treat simple.

What is the nutritional content like?

Analysis shows a protein-rich, meaty treat: crude protein 65%, crude fat 22%, crude fiber 1%, ash 11%, and moisture 5%. Serve as a complementary treat as part of a varied diet and consider the total energy amount during the day.

How large are the pieces and how many are in the bag?

On average about 18 cm long necks, and there are 2 pieces in the bag. The size is practical for many breeds – for example, for Shelties and Whippets one neck is a long-lasting treat session, while for larger breeds it is a pleasant snack.

Is this suitable for puppies or seniors?

Yes, when considering teeth and chewing style. For puppies (e.g., Lagotto Romagnolo, Miniature Schnauzer) serve in a calm moment and supervise from the start; for seniors (e.g., Labradoodle, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever) assess dental condition and offer shorter chewing sessions if needed. Water should always be available.

Is this a good option for sensitive stomachs or elimination diets?

Single-protein duck neck often makes choices easier when you want to stick to a specific raw material. Start with a small amount and monitor your dog’s stomach function – individual differences are common.

How does this compare to, for example, beef or pork chew treats?

Duck neck has a meaty surface and is crispy – very motivating for many dogs. It brings variety to the flavor world compared to beef or pork treats and is a good addition to rotation when you want to keep training motivation high and the stomach satisfied.

How do I serve it safely?

Supervise chewing, adjust the duration to your dog’s chewing strength, and remove pieces that have crumbled too small. If the dog tries to swallow large pieces, stop and serve shorter sessions. Always keep fresh water available.

How does this support the dog’s everyday well-being?

Chewing calms and satisfies the dog’s natural need to use jaw muscles – an excellent “independent break” after a workday, children’s hobbies, or training. For example, for Cockapoo, Parson Russell Terrier, or Siberian Husky, a chewing moment works as a great enrichment.

How do I store it and what can I expect from the packaging?

Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight; close the bag carefully after opening. The packaging favors a popular minimalist and environmentally respectful approach to reduce plastic and unnecessary material – a good everyday eco-action without gimmicks.

Why choose this one – beauty, quality, and nature in the same package?

You get a tasty, clear composition and a story rooted in the beautiful landscapes of Extremadura and local expertise. When you want a natural, transparent dental snack for your dog and at the same time make a softer choice for the environment, duck neck is an easy choice. Always measure and observe your own dog – and if anything concerns you, we are happy to help ensure suitability.
