Strips for dogs
Dog strips are meat treats shaped like thin strips or slices that combine the natural taste and aroma of meat with a practical format that’s easy to tear into smaller pieces. It’s not just another type of dried meat—the strip shape has practical advantages: strips are easy to tear into smaller pieces, are easy to carry, and, thanks to their texture—whether softer or firmer—are suitable for dogs of all ages. When choosing strips for your dog, it’s worth focusing primarily on the processing method and texture, which should match how and where you plan to use the treat.

Soft or dried strips – what’s the difference
Strips come in two basic varieties. Soft meat strips have a higher moisture content, are chewy, and tear easily – they’re ideal as soft treats for training or for dogs with sensitive teeth. Dried jerky for dogs is firmer, has a more intense aroma, and a longer shelf life—it’s similar in character to natural treats made from dried meat and is better suited as a standalone treat or a reward for the whole day. Both varieties are made from different types of meat—most commonly chicken or beef—and high-quality strips use meat as the sole or primary ingredient.
When choosing, we recommend focusing mainly on three things
Consistency – soft strips are more practical for training and for dogs with weaker jaws, while dried varieties are better as a treat with a longer consumption time.
Dog size – strips can be easily torn or cut, so they can be adapted to any breed. Save larger and tougher pieces for medium and large breeds; for smaller dogs, cut the strips into smaller pieces before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between strips and jerky?
Both are strip-shaped dried meat treats, but the terms differ mainly by manufacturer and tradition. Jerky is usually tougher and drier—it’s classic dried meat with minimal moisture. Strips can be either dried or semi-soft, and their texture is typically a bit more tender.
Are strips suitable for training?
Soft meat strips are one of the best choices for training—they have a strong aroma, are easy to tear into small pieces, and your dog will eat them quickly. The tougher, dried varieties are less practical for intensive training because they take longer to chew. So if you’re planning to use dog jerky primarily for training, choose softer, easily breakable varieties—or check out training treats designed specifically for training.
Are strips suitable for puppies?
Soft meat strips are suitable for puppies. They are easily digestible and easy to chew. Harder, dried varieties are less suitable for puppies, especially during teething. Always follow the manufacturer’s age recommendations and introduce new dog treats gradually.
How should strips be stored properly?
Soft strips have a higher moisture content, so once opened, it is recommended to store them in a cool place and consume them within a few days according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Dried strips are more durable—simply store them in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container. For both types, check the expiration date and avoid storing them in direct sunlight or in places with fluctuating temperatures.
Can I use strips as a base for homemade treats?
Dried meat strips or jerky made from high-quality meat can also be used as an ingredient in various dog recipes—for example, as a filling for treat-dispensing toys or torn into pieces and added to bowls as a topping for kibble. However, make sure that the total daily calorie intake remains appropriate.
