Our dear dog and human friends! Holidays are just around the corner, so it is time to think about gifts for our best friends. <3 We are happy to announce a collaboration with the team of Smrekomaz ( https://www.smrekomaz.eu/en/ ), another small Slovenian business, who are producing completely natural, handmade dog paw spruce balm from locally sourced ingredients. “Pesomaz” is a natural dog paw spruce balm with added CBD that…
Those of you who follow our story from the very beginning will remember the rollercoaster that was producing our own line of freeze dried meat treats All the obstacles haven’t stopped me, the process will just take a bit more time BUT in the meantime we have decided to find the best possible treats that are the closest to our idea: 100% natural, without any additives, freeze dried, locally produced,…
Another recurring question we get is about freeze drying; what is it and why are we so impressed by it? So much so, that our name – LYO DOG – is a derivation of the term (“lyophilization” is a more technical term for freeze drying*). So, what is it? To explain it in the most simple way possible: in our case, it is a process of dehydrating frozen raw ingredients…
We have combined all the benefits into these 4 key reasons: SUITABLE FOR DOGS WITH ALLERGIES Our treats are made exclusively from organic ingredients – we don´t use any additives, artificial colours or flavour enhancers. We focus on quality over quantity, so we choose the best raw ingredients available. Because our treats are just the ingredient by itself, it is much easier to feed it safely to a dog with…
I get asked about this a lot! Unfortunately, there is no ONE perfect kind of treats. It depends on your dog´s preferences and nutritional requirements, as well as the type of training (training a puppy is different than training an experienced dog, etc.). And last, but equally important is the human factor – I, for example, am not a fan of treats that make my hands dirty and smelly. Since…
As promised, here is the recipe for the second option of a fruity dog friendly ice cream. Again, banana is the star of this recipe, as it provides the appropriate texture for a more creamy mixture. You can use any fruit you have, you can also add some supplements to add some nutritional value (for example, my dogs are crazy about salmon oil). Step 1: Freeze banana(s) Peel the bananas,…
We are currently in the middle of the first summer heat wave, and since there is not much else that we can do at the moment, we decided to play around with some ingredients we have at home and make dog-friendly (and human-friendly) fruity popsicles. Step 1: Popsicle moulds Unfortunately we don´t have the proper popsicle mould at home. I somehow forget to buy them every year and by the…

Our aim for this blog is to create a hub for active dogs and their humans. We see owning dogs as a lifestyle, so we take them with us on our outdoor activities, such as hiking, ski touring, or mountain biking. We also take our time to train our dogs to fulfil their mental needs as well. Firstly, let me introduce our gang: LYO DOG branch managers ©Z.Š. So, let…
