Collection: Chewing snacks for dogs

Surprise your furry friend with dog chew snacks

A dog's life full of long forest walks, extensive fetch sessions, countless cuddles, and of course healthy food! For our furry friends, we have everything covered; that’s why at Prima Diervoeding we advocate for a healthy, tasty, and affordable diet. In our opinion, chew snacks for your dog (as a treat) are part of that. Our range is bursting with snacks your dog can’t resist.

Why give a chew snack?

Dogs naturally have a need to chew, which you can easily satisfy with a chew snack. But that’s not the only reason to bring these dog snacks home; below we list all the reasons to choose chew snacks.

Endorphins

Did you know, for example, that endorphins — a happiness chemical — are released during chewing? This substance helps your dog experience less stress and more calm. Moreover, endorphins give your dog a blissful feeling, and your furry four-legged friend will be less likely to show unwanted behavior. In short, with a tasty chew snack, you create a relaxed zen moment for yourself and your furry foodie.

Counteracting boredom

Due to a lack of physical and/or mental challenge, your dog can get bored. As a result, your furry friend may take out their pent-up energy on your furniture, shoes, and slippers. Not very desirable! To protect your furniture and footwear from your dog’s chewing teeth, a tasty chew snack can be the perfect solution!

Healthy dog teeth

A chew snack is not only good for combating boredom and restlessness; (hard) chew snacks also function as ‘natural’ toothbrushes. This way, you can count on your tough guy having beautiful, clean, and strong dog teeth that look like they came straight out of an Oral B commercial. Moreover, tartar disappears like snow in the sun, and the formation of dental calculus decreases. Finally, these snacks promote the condition of your dog’s gums.

Are dog chew snacks also suitable for puppies?

We at Prima Diervoeding fully understand that you want to delight your little bundle of energy with a tasty chew snack. However, it’s important not to give your little friend just any (chew) snack; this can be harmful to your pup’s health. Between three and seven months, your little friend will have to go through teething; painful! By giving a soft chew snack, the chance is high that the pain will decrease. You also promote the teething process this way. Do you have a real bundle of energy at home? Then regularly give your pup a chew snack from four months old; ideal for creating a calm moment! Prima Diervoeding offers plenty of choices for your little rascal. Our dried chicken fillets, tripe sticks, and chicken necks are the ideal chew snacks for your four-month-old pup.

Can you also give them to your senior dog?

The older your dog, the greater the chance of dental problems. It’s no surprise that furry seniors may suffer more from gum inflammation for this reason. Moreover, chewing strength decreases with age; this means that hard chew snacks — such as horsehide, beef knuckle, and pork shoulder blade — are out of the question. A (too) hard chew snack can damage your older dog’s teeth. Instead of (too) hard dog chew snacks, furry seniors prefer snacks with a softer texture, such as salmon skin, pork spaghetti, and rabbit ears. Or choose snacks with a higher glucosamine content, such as chicken feet; these benefit older joints.

A chew snack with fur

No matter how unappetizing we — as dog owners — find them, your dog loves chew snacks with fur! So it’s a good idea to treat your furry four-legged friend to these hairy treats. The fur cleans your dog’s stomach. Furthermore, a chew snack with hair — like rabbit ears with fur — helps reduce tartar and plaque buildup.

Make the right choice in dog chew snacks

Since every four-legged friend has their own preferences, Prima Diervoeding’s range of dog chew snacks comes in every possible size and (meat) type. So choose snack(s) you know your furry foodie will enjoy. Also, pay close attention to the size and hardness; not every snack is suitable for your dog. For example, don’t give a chihuahua a deer leg, and a Great Dane will have little fun with pork ear pieces.

Don’t forget

Never let your dog enjoy a chew snack without supervision. Also, don’t forget to give your four-legged friend enough drinking water.
