Not every treat is a good treat.
Many dog snacks rely on cheap fillers and little transparency. Besserlis, however, focus on clear recipes with 20% natural protein from fermentation, fruit, and vegetables.
That's why Tim & Leon Besserli
Our Mission
The best for your dog while protecting the environment.
Our mission at Tim&Leon is to bring the latest innovations to your bowl! To achieve this, we use alternative protein sources as healthy and sustainable alternatives to conventional feed production. Our first snack—the Besserli—for example, is made with naturally fermented protein.
Our power ingredient: natural protein from fermentation
Our fermentation protein is produced through natural fermentation with marine microorganisms: They are cultivated under controlled conditions, gently inactivated, and processed into a protein-rich raw material that we use in our Besserli recipes.
The better treat = Besserli
- Innovative protein: With fermented protein – highly digestible, nutrient-rich and natural.
- For every adventure: Whether training or a snack in between – crispy, delicious and motivating.
- Healthy & well-tolerated: easily digestible, prebiotic and free from sugar, fillers or artificial additives.
- Thinking sustainably: Up to 95% lower CO₂ footprint than meat, 2-3 times more sustainable than plant proteins.
- Made with transparency: Clear list of ingredients, traceable origin, honest communication.
Naturally fermented
Our fermented protein is produced naturally and is of extremely high quality and nutrient density.
Suitable for sensitive dogs
Since the fermented protein is a new protein source, dogs with allergies and sensitive skin can eat it without any concerns.
Particularly sustainable
Compared to meat production and vegan proteins, the manufacturing process is significantly more sustainable. So, it's good for both humans and animals!

What is natural protein from fermentation?
Our power protein is obtained through the fermentation of natural microorganisms . This process creates a highly digestible, protein-rich biomass, entirely without animal ingredients and with significantly lower resource consumption.
This process is nothing new: Nature has been using fermentation for millions of years – just like in the production of yogurt, kimchi, sourdough or kombucha.
We use this principle specifically to obtain a high-quality, easily digestible and particularly pure protein.
The result is our fermented protein, which:
- over 90% digestible,
- is free from common allergens and irritants,
- and is rich in essential amino acids and natural B vitamins.
Because it is not derived from animal or plant raw materials, this protein is particularly gentle on sensitive dogs and is ideally suited for a conscious, sustainable diet.
Fermentation also brings clear benefits for our planet:
Compared to meat production, fermented protein saves up to 95% water and land and causes significantly fewer CO₂ emissions – with better protein quality.
This creates a protein that is healthy for your dog and better for the environment – innovative, natural and responsible.
Is natural protein from fermentation safe and tested?
Our natural protein from fermentation is produced in the EU under strictly controlled conditions and regularly tested by independent laboratories.
It complies with all EU safety and feedstuff standards.

The Besserli is a handy, medium-sized snack with a diameter of about 12 mm.
It is suitable for all dog breeds – small enough to chew, large enough for a real snacking experience.
Is Besserli suitable for all dogs?

How often can I feed the baby?
The Besserli is intended as a snack or reward between meals.
