Snacks prepared with FSG

Our snacks are also prepared with Fleischsaftgarung (FSG) and so have the same benefits as our dry food.

Classic snacks

Fit Sticks are a delicious reward that your dog will love. You can break the Fit-Sticks easily with your fingers into rewards of any size. If you prefer pre-portioned snacks, Click-Bits are the right choice for you. The bits prepared with Fleischsaftgarung (FSG) are a strong motivator for your dog to learn quickly, and at the same time their size and soft yet chewy texture prevents them from swallowing. They are often used in dog sports or dog training.

Functional snacks

There are now also Fit-Bits in addition to our classic snacks. These are snacks prepared with Fleischsaftgarung (FSG) that can have a range of additional benefits for your dog through the power of plants. Reward with something that tastes good and has an additional benefit: This is called smart rewarding!

FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) creates the important properties of our snacks that are so highly valued by dog lovers:

FSG snacks are a delight for your dog and come completely without attractants, flavourings, colourings, odours and flavour enhancers. The reasons for this are:

  • The vacuum: The meat cooks under vacuum. So nothing is lost, not even natural flavours, as it is the case with boiling.
  • The reduction: We use a special technique that allows us to slowly reduce the moisture in a vacuum. Slow reduction is also known from the kitchen as gentle boiling down. Reducing the moisture of the meat juice intensifies the natural meat flavour of our snacks.

FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) makes our snacks as nutrient-rich as BARF diet. The reasons are:

  • The vacuum: Nothing is lost in a vacuum. All the natural vitamins and nutrients of the meat are completely preserved.
  • The low temperature: Due to the low temperature, during FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) the vitamins and nutrients are preserved.

Meat is vital for building muscle, because it has a high protein content. The biological value of meat proteins is much higher for dogs than for humans, because the dog's digestive system has hardly changed. It can obtain energy for muscle building from meat much better than from any other food. Proteins denatured with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) are easier to digest than raw meat. Ideal to help build muscle, making dogs feel light and powerful.

Snacks prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) are quickly digested and effectively utilised by dogs. The reasons for this are found in the dog's digestive system, which has hardly changed during domestication. Meat is still the first source of food and is digested and utilised better than other foods.

FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) ensures that our snacks do not swell up in the dog's stomach. This keeps your dog's attention and motivation.

During the long cooking time in the meat juices, we slowly reduce the moisture. Reducing is a proven cooking technique. It brings out the natural flavours and causes a binding (thickening) that makes our snacks chewy-soft. Snacks prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) become chewy-soft solely through the meat juice of the fresh meat.

In a world full of advertising promises, it is hard to tell the good from the bad. That is why we have commissioned TÜV Süd Elab (now ELAB Analytik GmbH) to test our dog food regularly and independently. What is tested:

  • Our fresh meat content: testing of recipe compliance at the preparation site.
  • For harmful substances, to protect the health of your best friend.
  • Our declaration

Snacks made from fresh meat (dog snacks)

Even a quick glance at a dog's dentition shows unmistakably: it is made for meat. Canine teeth and carnassial teeth are not found in a herbivore. As the dog’s intestine is short, it is optimised for the absorption of nutrients from meat – It is shorter than it is in humans and also significantly shorter than the intestine of a pure herbivore.

Therefore, the structure of the dog’s body leaves no doubt that physical well-being and lasting health can be achieved with meat as the main component of the diet. For this reason, PLATINUMS's focus has always been fresh meat. When we talk about meat, we are talking about fresh meat and not about meat meal and animal by-products.

Dog snacks prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung)

Meat becomes more digestible by heating. Scientists of Harvard University have found out that proteins denatured by heat can be digested faster than raw meat. This is valid for humans as for animals. Furthermore, heating the meat kills any pathogens (germs and bacteria) that may be present and therefore spares the body an energy-demanding reaction against infection.

Therefore, we cook fresh meat into snacks. The method of preparing is called FSG (Fleischsaftgarung). In that process, fresh meat is cooked only in its own meat juice, as in the kitchen. We are not talking about everyday kitchen, but gourmet cuisine, where chefs use special cooking methods to prepare meat tastier and also healthier thanks to the meat juice. FSG combines a selection of these cooking methods to prepare delicious and nutritious treats (dog snacks).

Snacks prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) are produced by cooking fresh meat in its own meat juice at a low temperature for a long time while the meat juice is constantly reduced. The remaining moisture of the meat juice makes our snacks prepared with FSG chewy-soft. Reducing the meat juice enhances the meat taste and smell in a natural way. Therefore, our snacks prepared with FSG come without flavour enhancers, attractants and odour ants. The low temperature during cooking also preserves the nutrients of meat and meat juice. The dog's digestive system is made to digest meat, which is why snacks prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) have an excellent conversion into energy available for the body to use. The naturally high digestibility is also shown by the fact that the snacks do not swell in the stomach like extruded dog snacks do.

Snacks puppy, young dog, senior — Treats allergies and intolerances.

Snacks for dogs prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) supplement your dog's daily diet of dog food prepared with FSG. Together, dog food and dog treats prepared with FSG generate a completely balanced and healthy diet. Additional treats (dog snacks) that are not prepared with FSG can result in weight gain or even stomach upset and diarrhoea.

Dog treats (dog snacks) prepared with FSG (Fleischsaftgarung) are suitable for all dog breeds and age groups (puppies, young dogs, adult dogs and senior dogs) as well as dogs with allergies and intolerances.
