Freeze-Dried Raw Chicken & Goat Milk Cat Treats

Verified Aug 17, 2026

Cat · Treat All Breed Sizes

These freeze-dried raw treats are high in protein and fat, made from chicken and chicken liver with added goat milk. They’re designed as a crunchy, species-appropriate snack for cats, with goat milk included to help support digestive comfort. This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it should be fed alongside a balanced cat food.

9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a high-protein, meat-based freeze-dried treat that fits well with a carnivorous cat’s natural preferences. Chicken and chicken liver provide very digestible animal protein and fat, and the added goat milk may be gentle on the gut for many cats. It’s best suited as a small, occasional reward or training treat for healthy cats eating a complete and balanced main diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Chicken and chicken liver supply highly digestible animal protein and essential nutrients cats need.
  • Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients while creating a light, crunchy texture many cats enjoy.
  • The simple ingredient list can be helpful for owners who like to know exactly what they’re feeding.
  • Calorie content is low per treat, which makes it easier to use them for training without overfeeding.

Considerations

  • This is a treat only and does not provide complete and balanced nutrition on its own.
  • Chicken is a common allergen for cats, so it is not a good choice for cats with known chicken sensitivities.
  • The fat content is relatively high, so very overweight cats may need these limited more strictly.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

02
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
03
Goat's Milk
Goat's milk is used in pet foods and treats as a dairy ingredient and supplemental source of digestible protein, fats, calcium, and certain B vitamins, and can serve as a base for milk replacers or probiotic-containing products. Some dogs and cats tolerate goat's milk better than cow's milk because of smaller fat globules and slightly lower lactose, but it is calorie-dense, not a complete diet, can still cause lactose intolerance or allergic reactions in sensitive animals, and should be pasteurized and used cautiously (or avoided) in pets with pancreatitis or weakened immune systems due to raw-milk pathogen risks.
04
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
05
Rosemary Extract
Rosemary extract is used in pet foods primarily as a natural antioxidant and preservative to protect fats and oils from oxidation and help extend shelf life, sometimes adding a mild flavor. It does not provide essential nutrients but supplies polyphenolic antioxidants (e.g., carnosic and rosmarinic acids) and is generally safe at food‑grade levels; concentrated rosemary oils can cause gastrointestinal or skin/respiratory irritation and may be of greater concern for sensitive animals (particularly cats), so products should use properly formulated amounts.
