Regional dog treats from Urgefährte

At the Hotel Ritter Durbach, dogs are part of the family. For our four-legged guests, we work with Urgefährte: a young brand from Malterdingen in the Breisgau region, which develops dog treats made from pure meat and with clearly stated ingredients.

From the Ortenau to the Breisgau: neighbours and partners

From our vineyards in Durbach, the view stretches across the Rhine Valley all the way to the Breisgau. That is precisely where Urgefährte is based – on the western edge of the Black Forest. We are united by the same landscape, the same Baden way of life and the conviction that good products are at their best when they come from the region and we know the people behind them personally.

Short supply chains, personal encounters and a shared understanding of quality: this is the foundation on which we build our partnerships in Baden and the Black Forest.

From Baden, for Baden

Dog treats made from pure meat, clearly labelled

Urgefährte uses only ingredients that the team would feed to their own dogs at any time. The result is natural dog treats with simple, honest recipes that deliver exactly what the packaging promises.

What’s in every treat

Pure meat
The meat snacks consist almost exclusively of a single type of meat. This means plenty of protein, an intense flavour and a reward that will win over even the pickiest dogs.

Transparent labelling
Every ingredient is clearly and transparently listed. Dog owners can see at a glance what their four-legged friend is getting and choose with confidence.

Made in Germany
Produced in Germany at selected partner facilities, to high quality standards and with great attention to detail. Developed by dog owners who know what matters most to their four-legged friends.

URGEFÄHRTE: by dog lovers, for dogs

Behind Urgefährte lies a love of dogs and a desire to offer them the very best. Dogs are members of the family, loyal companions and true friends. This special bond between humans and dogs is the driving force behind the brand, which was founded in Malterdingen in the Breisgau region in 2025.

The team’s own dogs are the most important testers and the inspiration behind every product.
