For which dog

When closeness falls short because of the nose.

Bad breath

When yawning or being petted, they turn their heads away. The cause is often in their mouth—such as tartar, gum problems, or digestive issues.

Body & Coat Odor

The typical “doggy smell” in their fur and in their bed. It occurs when odor-causing compounds are released through the skin and the digestive system.

Less closeness

We unconsciously keep our distance. Freshies bring back those cozy moments—by addressing the root cause, not with perfume.

Tartar & Plaque

Plaque starts with bacteria—and that’s exactly what the antifungal blend binds in your mouth. To find out why Freshies can also be beneficial for your teeth, see “How It Works.”

Even for dogs without any acute scent-related issues—as a natural reward.

Have you ever experienced this?

The moment you turn away slightly.

You love your dog anyway. But the bad breath when you cuddle, the strong smell after he eats, and the cloud of hair that lingers in the living room—it doesn't have to be that way.

Everyday Life WithoutHow things are right now

  • When yawning or licking, their breath has a strong odor.

  • The body odor lingers in the basket and in the living room.

  • You hold your breath for a moment while cuddling—and it annoys you.
Everyday Life with FreshiesHow It Can Be

  • Over the weeks, the breathing becomes less noticeable.

  • The body and fur odor also fades after about two weeks.

  • Closeness feels natural again.
Immediately

The breath. It becomes fresher as the bond takes hold in the mouth—usually noticeable in the first few days.

Body & Coat. Digestive odor improves when Freshies become part of your daily routine.

Why this isn't a perfume: Freshies tackle the root cause—they bind the odor-causing molecules before they rise. → The next section explains exactly how this works.

Here's how Freshies works

Don't cover it up— bind it instead.

Most breath fresheners use parsley, eucalyptus, or green tea and add a scent on top. Freshies takes a different approach: A mushroom extract binds the sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds that cause bad breath and body odor—before they rise to the surface.

The usual way

Just cover it up

Parsley, eucalyptus, or mint temporarily mask the odor. The cause remains—and with it, the odor returns.

The Freshies Trail

Address the root cause

The mushroom extract binds the odor-causing sulfur and nitrogen molecules. Once bound, these molecules are not released into the air in the first place.

Inclusion, as with cyclodextrins

Chemical Addition to Quinone Groups

Reactive groups chemically bind sulfur and nitrogen molecules.

Fast-acting yet long-lasting. Some of the effects kick in within hours, while the rest build up over weeks—that's why Freshies work best when taken daily.

What about tartar? Plaque is caused by bacteria—the same blend of fungi also binds bacteria in the mouth. We haven’t conducted our own study on this; we view Freshies as a useful supplement to dental care, not as a substitute for professional dental cleaning.

Bad breath at its source. Not masked.

FRESHIES is a treat, not a topping. It’s a separate product line with its own story. Instead of masking the odor, it tackles the source:
in the mouth and intestines.

What You Notice and When

First the breath, then the body odor.

What real owners observe—and in what order—is like watching something grow.

During the first few days

The odor when yawning and licking becomes less noticeable—the first noticeable effect.

After about two weeks

The body and coat odor caused by digestion also diminishes with daily administration.

What about tartar? We don’t have our own study on that—which is why we don’t make any promises about it. Freshies supports oral hygiene from the inside, but it is not a substitute for brushing or professional cleanings at the vet.

A Family Tradition

A Swiss family—
— since 1992.

Kim Rüegge is the second-generation owner of tradidog in Wangen on the Upper Lake Zurich. Bailey, his Golden Retriever, is the first to try every blend—including Freshies.

We do not purchase the mushroom extract as a ready-made blend. We formulate, test, and bottle it all in the same location. No contract bottling. No private label.

Frequently Asked Questions About Freshies

Before you decide.

Freshies

If my pet has bad breath—is that enough, or do I need to take it to the vet?

If the problem is caused by tartar, gum inflammation, or tooth damage, a snack won't help. If the strong odor persists, take your dog to the vet.

Freshies are designed to help keep your dog's mouth healthy.

Does Freshies replace brushing your teeth?

No. Freshies are a supplement, not a substitute for mechanical oral care. Regular brushing or chewing gum remains the foundation—Freshies work on odor from the inside, not like a toothbrush on the teeth.

The mushroom extract binds odor-causing compounds rather than masking them. This is the daily supplement needed to maintain a healthy dog’s mouth; if your dog has tartar or gum problems, take him to the vet.

Is the 4-pack worth it?

If your dog likes the Freshies, then yes. It's cheaper per bag and will last about two months for a 20-kg dog.

When do Freshies take effect—immediately or only after a few days?

The refreshing effect kicks in quickly. For long-lasting fresher breath, give the Freshies regularly over a period of two to three weeks.

What's in the Freshies?

Grain-free, with natural ingredients: coconut flakes, egg white, potato starch, minerals, and a mushroom extract. The mushroom extract is the ingredient that helps freshen breath.

The complete list of ingredients is on the package.

What if nothing changes for my dog?

Then you don't bear the risk—we do. Freshies come with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee: If, after giving them a fair try, you don't see any results, contact us within 90 days of receipt—you'll get a refund, even if the package has been opened.

Freshies help keep your dog's mouth healthy. If the strong odor is caused by tartar or an infection, no snack will help—in that case, you should take your dog to the vet.

How do I store the storage bags?

Store in a cool, dry place. Unopened, a bag will keep for several months; once opened, it's best to use it within six to eight weeks.

How many Freshies a day?

As a general guideline, give one Freshie per 5 kg of body weight per day—so a 20-kg dog would get about four. It’s not possible to overdose.

One package contains about 30 pieces.

Ordering & Shipping

Are there any samples I can try out?

Yes—that's what our sample packs are for. The powder is free; you only pay for shipping. That way, you can find out if your dog will even eat that flavor before you buy a whole bag.

There isn't a separate sample pack for Freshies; if you're unsure, our 90-day satisfaction guarantee is here to help.

How much does shipping cost, and how long does delivery take?

We offer free shipping within Switzerland and to Liechtenstein for orders of CHF 60 or more; for orders under that amount, a flat shipping fee of CHF 9 applies. Delivery usually takes two to three business days from the date of order.

Once your order has been shipped, you'll receive an email with tracking information. If the package hasn't moved within five to seven business days, we'll file a claim with the postal service—just contact us with your order number.

What payment methods can I use?

You can pay conveniently with TWINT, PostFinance, or a credit card. If TWINT isn't available as an option during the checkout process, it's usually due to your browser or an incomplete order—please refresh the page or send us a quick message, and we'll help you right away.
