Strosses

What are strangles?

Strosses are the windpipes of animals such as cattle, horses, goats or deer. They consist mainly of cartilage, connective tissue and meat and have a very low fat content. Strangles are rich in protein, calcium, glucosamine and chondroitin, all of which are important for your dog's health.

Protein is the most important building block for muscles, skin, hair and nails. Calcium is a mineral that ensures strong bones and teeth. Glucosamine and chondroitin are two substances that lubricate the joints and have an anti-inflammatory effect. They can improve mobility and well-being, especially in older or arthritic dogs.

Why is Strossen good for dogs?

Strosses are not only healthy, but also tasty for dogs. They have a firm consistency that encourages chewing and promotes tooth cleaning. Chewing also releases endorphins, which relax your dog and make him happy.

Strosses are also easy to digest and are suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs or food allergies. As they only consist of one animal protein source, you can use them as a monoprotein snack and choose a type of meat that your dog can tolerate.

Strosses are also low in calories and can therefore also be used as a reward for overweight dogs. They fill your dog up without overfeeding him.

What should you look out for when buying sticks?

If you want to buy Strossen for your dog, you should pay attention to a few points to ensure good quality. Firstly, you should make sure that the sticks come from species-appropriate husbandry and do not contain antibiotics or hormones. Secondly, you should make sure that the sprouts have been gently dried and do not contain any artificial additives such as colorants, flavorings or preservatives.

You can buy sticks in different sizes and shapes, depending on how big your dog is and how long it needs to chew. For example, you can buy whole sticks or sticks cut into smaller pieces. You can also choose between different animal species, depending on what your dog likes or tolerates. For example, there are beef, horse, goat or ostrich sticks.

How should you feed sticks?

Strosses are a great snack for between meals or as a reward for good behavior. However, you should make sure that you don't feed your dog sticks too often, otherwise they could absorb too much calcium. This can lead to an imbalance in the mineral balance and contribute to kidney problems or bladder stones.

As a rule of thumb, you shouldn't give your dog more than two to three meals a week. You should also make sure that you choose the right size for your dog and always feed it under supervision. This way you can prevent him from choking or breaking off and swallowing parts of the snaffle.

You should also always make sure that your dog has enough water available when he is chewing a snaffle. This helps him to digest the snaffle better and prevents dehydration.
