Why Natural Snacks Make a Difference (Especially with Allergies)
It is a question we get every day in our shop in Swalmen: "My dog keeps scratching, what can I still safely give him?" At Wicotreats (part of Wico Diervoeding), we hear this story often. Whether it concerns a mild sensitivity or a serious autoimmune disease, finding the right reward can be quite a challenge. In this blog, we explain why we have believed in 100% natural snacks since 1993.
The Foundation: Expertise Since 1993
I literally grew up among four-legged friends and the best nutrition. For more than 30 years, our family business has been known for honest advice. We have now brought that knowledge together in Wicotreats. We see that many dogs react strongly to 'standard' snacks from the supermarket, which are often full of grains, sugars and artificial flavorings.
The Power of Unique Protein Sources
When a dog has an allergy, the immune system often reacts to common proteins such as beef or chicken. The solution? Switching to snacks the dog has not had before (an elimination diet).
-
Horse: A very pure protein source that almost no dog reacts badly to.
-
Rabbit: Easy to digest and often the favorite of more selective gourmets.
-
Fish (Sprats): Not only delicious, but the Omega-3 fatty acids also directly help restore the skin and coat.
NEW: Our Snack Boxes & Sample Packs
Because we know how difficult it is to choose, we are launching something new next week: specialized snack boxes. Whether you are looking for a Horse Sample Box for your allergic dog or an Ultimate Chew Box for the real destroyers, we have created a match for every pack.
Chalitino's Tip: When in doubt, always start with a sample box containing one protein source. This way, you can see exactly what your dog reacts best to without other ingredients getting in the way.
