Dog snacks

Premium dog snacks from Anifit

Dog owners know the feeling: you rustle a bag and suddenly your dog is standing in front of you. Nose and eyes fixed expectantly, the dog hopes for a tasty treat. But dog snacks are more than just little treats: dog treats, chews, and biscuits offer variety to your dog's daily food and provide enrichment at the same time.

Small dog treats are particularly well-suited as rewards and positive reinforcement during training, and they strengthen the bond between dog and owner. Chew snacks, chew toys, and dog bones provide enrichment and encourage natural behaviors and dental hygiene.

Learn more about dog treats that not only make your dog happy, but also contribute to its health through high quality and the best ingredients.

Which dog snacks are healthy?

Healthy dog ​​snacks should be nutrient-rich, easily digestible, free from unnecessary additives, and contain no artificial colors or preservatives. Products and items made from high-quality meat are therefore the first choice for dogs when it comes to flavor, nutrients, and chewing enjoyment.

Dogs are obligate carnivores (meat eaters), meaning that meat plays the most important role in their diet. Gentle processes, such as freeze-drying, ensure that all the flavors in the meat are preserved, providing dogs with snacks that are naturally and healthily composed. This is what makes healthy snacks for dogs:

• High-quality ingredients and natural components
• High in protein
• Healthy fiber
• High-quality fats

Healthy dog ​​treats should be free of artificial colors, additives, and preservatives. Flavor enhancers, sugar, and syrups should also be avoided, as they can cause weight gain and dental problems in dogs. Grains such as corn or soy should also be omitted from dog treats.

ANIfit snacks contain only natural ingredients and are rich in natural proteins, vitamins and minerals.

This ensures that the pure meat dog snacks are not only tasty for your dog, but also perfectly complement a dog diet such as BARF. Your ANIfit consultant will be happy to assist you with your selection.

What do dogs love as treats?

Dogs are primarily carnivores by nature; they love protein-rich snacks with natural flavors and a firmer texture for chewing. Therefore, products made from dried beef, chicken, or lamb, and freeze-dried meat chunks, are among our four-legged friends' favorites.

Products made from fish and offal, such as liver and tripe, are also popular with many dogs and contain the kinds of nutrients a dog needs for a long and healthy life. Dog treats made from protein-rich insects offer variety and keep dogs occupied – many dogs love their unique flavor.

What kinds of dog treats are there?

Dog snacks are more than just treats. They are an important addition to a balanced diet and support your dog's well-being. At ANIfit, every product contains valuable nutrients that promote your dog's health while also being tasty and species-appropriate.

• Meat or fish dog biscuits
• Meat or fish strips – dried meat such as chicken, beef, or salmon
• Chews with special shapes and textures for dental care
• Natural chew bones such as beef bones or bully sticks
• Dog treats such as beef lung, chicken hearts, and rabbit ears
• Hypoallergenic snacks – without grain flour or artificial additives
• Semi-moist snacks, such as sausages, cubes, or small meat bites
• Dog treats, for example, made from freeze-dried salmon, liver, or tripe

Top quality is paramount when it comes to dog treats. Therefore, all products should be free of artificial colors and preservatives and contain only high-quality ingredients that your dog will love.

Your ANIfit consultant will be happy to help you choose the right products for your dog.

What are good chew toys for dogs?

Dogs love to chew on bones. This natural behavior stems from the dog's wolf ancestry and, in nature, serves to provide essential calcium. Chewing is a natural instinct for dogs and a source of contentment.

Chews and treats not only satisfy a dog's instinctive behavior and provide mental stimulation, but also offer health and emotional benefits. Chewing mechanically cleans teeth, reduces plaque and tartar, and thus promotes dental hygiene and blood circulation.

Furthermore, intensive chewing has been proven to release endorphins in dogs – species-appropriate dog chews thus help the animals reduce stress. However, with chew snacks, it's important to avoid the risk of injury from splinters. Dogs should therefore always enjoy chew bones and dog chew toys under supervision – that way, chewing remains fun!

Natural chew snacks are grain-free, species-appropriate, and ideal for allergy sufferers. ANIfit prioritizes a snack composition that ensures long-lasting chewing enjoyment. Product quality is always at the heart of this process.

How many treats can you give a dog per day?

Many dogs love dog treats. Dog biscuits, dog cakes, or small snacks as a mid-morning treat are not only a great reward during daily training, but can also contribute to the health of your four-legged friend thanks to the right composition.

The right amount of dog treats is a much-discussed topic among both owners and experts. Too many dog ​​snacks can lead to obesity and consequently to musculoskeletal and cardiovascular problems.

The recipe plays a crucial role when it comes to dog treats: ANIfit experts recommend that snacks should generally make up no more than ten percent of a dog's daily calorie intake. The amount of dog treats depends on the dog's size and weight, activity level, and the calorie content of the snacks. Choosing healthy, natural treats, biscuits, chew toys, and digestive snacks for dogs can help prevent obesity and other health problems.

On our website, you'll find a feeding calculator for an initial overview, which calculates feeding recommendations for wet food as well as treats. Your ANIfit consultant will be happy to assist you with their expertise on this topic and help you find the right amount of dog treats for your dog.

At what age can a dog be given snacks?

Almost every dog ​​enjoys treats and snacks, and each has their own individual preferences. But when can puppies start receiving these products without harming their little darling? Experts' experience shows that most types, products, and items in the dog snack category can be fed to puppies from around one year of age.

Puppies start eating solid food from six to eight weeks of age. However, their jaws and teeth are still growing and are particularly sensitive during this phase. Therefore, snacks at this age should be easy to chew. Hard chew toys are not yet suitable for puppies and can damage their teeth.

Around four months of age, puppies begin to lose their adult teeth. Even though they enjoy chewing at this age, their jaws are still soft and sensitive, and hard chew toys can damage their teeth. Softer chew snacks, such as beef lung or duck necks, are best during this phase.

From 12 months of age, dogs can also be given harder dental treats, such as dog bones, dried meat, or insect snacks. Whether for dental hygiene, daily training, or as a reward, dogs should be gradually introduced to chewable treats and snacks. Your ANIfit consultant will be happy to assist you.

What is a healthy treat for a dog?

A healthy dog ​​treat should contain natural, species-appropriate, and nutrient-rich ingredients that support its health and be free of unnecessary additives and fillers. Treats should also be easily digestible and meet the individual needs of the dog.

Sugar, honey, grain flours like wheat or corn, artificial flavorings, flavor enhancers, unnecessary additives, and artificial colors and preservatives have no place in species-appropriate treats. Meat scraps and bone meal should also be avoided. This way, your four-legged friend stays healthy and fit and receives a reward that corresponds to its natural diet.

At ANIfit you will find dog treats of the highest quality. The products are made from natural meat from Bavaria, and the gentle freeze-drying process ensures that as many nutrients as possible are retained.

Are grain-free dog snacks better for dogs with allergies?

Many dog ​​owners are opting for grain-free alternatives and varieties, not only for wet food but also for treats and snacks. A dog's digestive system is primarily designed to process animal protein.

Although many dog ​​breeds have genetically adapted to a human-fed diet, grains are more difficult for dogs and cats to digest due to their short digestive tract and can lead to digestive problems. Treats and chews made from pure meat or bones are therefore often better tolerated by sensitive dogs.

Even dogs with allergies benefit from natural chew snacks, treats, and dog food made exclusively from natural ingredients. Grain flours, such as those made from wheat, corn, or soy, are not tolerated by many dogs. For example, a dog with a grain allergy might react with itching, skin problems, digestive issues, or ear infections. A dull coat and hair loss can also be symptoms triggered by grains. Your ANIfit consultant will be happy to help you choose the right treats for your dog.

What are hypoallergenic dog snacks?

Natural dog snacks made from horse or kangaroo are a particularly healthy and hypoallergenic choice for dogs prone to food allergies or sensitive digestion. Since horse meat is a rarely used protein source, intolerances are uncommon.

Furthermore, horse meat is rich in essential amino acids, easily digestible, and low in fat, making it an ideal reward for dogs of all ages. Dried horse meat strips, horse lung, or horse liver are particularly popular, serving as tasty and nutritious snacks. Chewable treats such as horse scalp, tendons, or trachea are also a good choice, as they not only provide long-lasting entertainment but also support dental hygiene.

ANIfit Gourmet Sausage, made from horse or venison, is a delicious and healthy reward for your four-legged friend after an active day or a long walk. As part of their hypoallergenic dog snack range, the sausage contains only the highest quality ingredients, is a single protein source, and is free from synthetic colors and unnecessary additives, ensuring your dog gets only the best.

What can hypoallergenic dogs eat?

Since ANIfit dog snacks are made without artificial additives, they are a natural and healthy alternative to conventional dog treats. They are particularly suitable for dogs with allergies, sensitive stomachs, puppies, and senior dogs, as they are easily digestible and available in various textures.

Overweight dogs also benefit from the low fat content of horse meat chews. Small pieces of meat are ideal for training sessions, while larger chews can be used for long-term entertainment and dental care.

Please note that even though horse treats are very healthy, they should only be fed in moderation to ensure a balanced diet for your dog. Horse-based dog treats are an excellent choice for dog owners who want a high-quality, easily digestible, and natural reward for their four-legged friend.

Premium dog treats: feeding appropriately for your dog

Species-appropriate dog treats are based on a dog's natural diet and consist of high-quality, biologically appropriate ingredients. They are free of sugar, grain flours, artificial flavors, and preservatives, as these ingredients can often cause allergies or digestive problems in dogs.

Treats with a high meat content are particularly suitable, as dogs are primarily carnivores by nature. Dried meats such as chicken breast, beef, lamb, or venison are ideal choices. Offal like liver, heart, lungs, or tripe, either dried or freeze-dried, also provides a healthy reward during dog training or as a treat between meals.

Natural chew treats like bully sticks, beef scalp, deer antlers, or rabbit ears support dental health and contribute to intestinal cleansing. Fish snacks such as dried salmon or herring provide valuable omega-3 fatty acids, which strengthen skin and coat. Your ANIfit consultant will be happy to assist you in selecting the perfect dog treats for your four-legged friend.
