Dog cigars and dog sausages are ideal for reducing stress in dogs. Chewing as a rhythmic, almost meditative activity and of course focusing on the food can help a stressed four-legged friend to relax. The fun of chewing muscle meat from various protein sources creates a welcome distraction in many situations, but is of course just as suitable as a tasty reward on any other occasion.
Dog cigars and dog sausages from haustierkost.de: usual high quality
The dog cigars and dog sausages from our BARF shop embody the same high quality that you are used to from our natural products. Both dog sausages and dog cigars are made from muscle meat of the respective type of meat. For the dog cigars, the muscle meat is gently dried and formed into cigars. To ensure natural chewing fun and stress relief for the dog, the dog cigars and dog sausages are of course free from grain, sugar or caramel as well as attractants, fillers or artificial additives. They are suitable for breeds of different sizes and can be fed as a reward during training, as a nutritional supplement in food or in times of stress, where they can be used to distract and relax. The dog cigars and dog sausages are of course available in different varieties, so there is something for every taste and also for dogs with food allergies.
An important tip: When feeding dried and freeze-dried meat, fresh water should be available to compensate for the lack of liquid compared to classic BARF meat. We also recommend including the amount fed in the calculation of the total amount of food.
Stress relief: Chews can help dogs
Reducing stress is just as important for dogs as it is for people. Chews for dogs can play an important role here. Many people chew gum in stressful situations to keep themselves and their jaw muscles occupied with the mechanical activity. It is very similar with our four-legged friends. Tearing and chewing the flesh of dried treats, such as our dried chews for dogs , is an activity that a dog can devote itself to completely.
There are potentially lots of stressful situations for dogs - tolerance varies from animal to animal. Fireworks, for example on New Year's Eve, are a stress and anxiety factor for many dogs. But everyday situations such as moving house, the arrival of a new child in a young family or a visit from strangers can also cause stress. It is all the better if a tasty distraction is available! You can read how to recognize that your dog is stressed in our guide Stressed Dog: Signs and Help .
A pleasant side effect of chewing: Hard and tough foods in particular help to remove any other food residue from the teeth and between the teeth through saliva production and friction. This prevents plaque and tartar - one reason why bone and cartilage are so good for natural dental care. Regular chewing also improves blood flow to the gums.
