We all want to feed our dogs healthily and as naturally as possible. However, giving raw meat to your dog or cooking their meals yourself isn't for everyone. Meat sausages can be a good alternative here.
Meat Sausages – in Many Delicious Varieties
Wet food for dogs is once again gaining popularity among pet owners, and many dogs also prefer it over dry food. In addition to the well-known wet food in Cans and trays, meat sausages are now increasingly available, offered in many different varieties.
Meat Sausages as Complete food - No Need to Add Vegetables or Flakes
In our iPet range of meat sausages, there are sausages that can be used as Complete food. This means they contain all the nutrients and vitamins a dog needs, so you can be sure your dog is always perfectly nourished. On the other hand, there are also sausages declared as complementary food. They are particularly suitable as snacks between meals, as a tasty topping over dry food, or, supplemented with oils, minerals, and trace elements, also as a main meal.
Also Suitable for Sensitive Dogs
Most dog sausages are grain-free and have a very high meat content, with usually only meat and offal from a single animal species being processed. These are therefore so-called monoprotein foods, which are also ideally suited for food-sensitive dogs.
Easy to Portion
The sausages contain a lower proportion of Moisture than food in Cans. This means they are somewhat drier and can therefore be easily divided into individual portions. Opened sausages can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Unopened, the sausages can be kept without refrigeration for 12 – 24 months.
Environmentally Friendly
Many sausages use meat from the manufacturer's country – with naturadog, they are even made from 100% Swiss meat. In addition to this regional production, the packaging in a thin plastic casing is not only space-saving but also environmentally friendly.
Our Dogs Have Tested the Sausages
Up until now, our dogs have exclusively received dry food, primarily because we wanted to avoid the large amounts of waste generated by wet feeding from Cans or aluminum trays. Additionally, one of our female dogs is very food-sensitive and reacts to many foods with diarrhea and skin problems. However, since we were convinced by the new packaging type and the composition of the sausages, we have been feeding them one meal in the form of sausages for several months. We appreciate the quick preparation and easy portioning. The tolerability is optimal, even for the sensitive female dog. And the most important thing, of course, is: our dogs love the sausage meals!
