Chew
The vet says a couple of kilos need to come off, and the treat jar is the first thing to go. What you're left with is a bored dog, nothing to reward good behaviour with, and a chewing habit you've taken away for reasons they will never understand.
Paul & Paulina know that particular problem from the inside. The brand is named after a Golden Retriever called Paula, who fought her weight her whole life, and a cat called Paul. In 2003 her owners, Désirée Schmidt and Bernhard Meyer, started making treats themselves because nothing on the shelf suited her.
The number that matters here is 3.9%. That's the crude fat, sitting under 56.12% crude protein — so what your dog is chewing is close to pure meat with very little of what usually pushes a treat's calories up. For comparison, an air-dried rabbit ear from the same brand runs at 19.2% fat. Both are good chews. Only one of them fits easily into a weight plan.
Each stick is around 20cm of hard, air-dried game meat, which means chewing time rather than a treat that's gone before you've sat down. That length also makes it flexible: snap a piece off for a quick reward and put the rest away, or hand over the whole stick when you need twenty quiet minutes. It works the jaw properly, and the aroma is strong enough to hold the attention of a dog who has grown bored of soft treats.
The meat is venison and deer from the Bavarian region around the workshop, processed directly with no pre-treatment before drying, and cranberries are worked in. Nothing else goes near it — no dyes, no attractants, no artificial flavourings, no preservatives.
- 3.9% crude fat — low enough to keep rewarding a dog who is meant to be losing weight, not gaining it
- 56.12% crude protein — meat-dense, so a small piece still feels like a real reward
- Roughly 20cm per stick — snap off what you need for training, or hand over the whole thing for a longer session
- Venison and deer — game meat most dogs have never eaten, which helps when the usual proteins have caused trouble
- Air-dried with no pre-treatment — the meat goes straight in, so the aroma stays strong enough to interest a fussy dog
- No dyes, attractants, artificial flavourings or preservatives — a short label that says what it means

Storage & Precautions +
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Hong Kong humidity will soften an air-dried stick if the pack is left open, so reseal it after every use.
- This is a supplementary feed. Give it alongside a complete diet, not in place of meals.
- If your dog is on a vet-supervised weight plan, agree the daily treat allowance with your vet before adding anything new.
- Keep fresh drinking water available.
- Stay with your dog while they chew. These are hard sticks, so take away any end piece short enough to be swallowed whole.
- Very hard chews don't suit every dog. If your dog has dental problems or a history of tooth fractures, check with your vet first.
FAQ +
My dog is on a diet. Can she still have these?
At 3.9% fat this is one of the leaner air-dried chews you'll find, which is exactly why it suits a dog who needs to lose weight but shouldn't lose the reward. Treats still count towards the day's calories, so agree the allowance with your vet and take it off her main meal.
How does this compare with the rabbit ears?
Same brand, same air-drying, very different nutritional profile. The Air-Dried Rabbit Ears are richer at 19.2% fat and softer to get through. The venison grissini is leaner and harder, so it lasts longer and fits a weight plan more comfortably.
Can I break the stick into smaller pieces?
Yes. At around 20cm it snaps into training-sized pieces easily enough, which is a sensible way to use it with a smaller dog or to stretch one stick across a few days.
Is venison a good choice for a dog with food sensitivities?
Game meat is unfamiliar to most dogs, so there is less chance of a reaction that has already been established against chicken, beef or lamb. It isn't a guarantee. Introduce a small amount first and give it a few days before deciding.
