Top Pick
Nutritionally, this is a rich, meat-based topper or treat with a strong emphasis on chicken and nutrient-dense organ meats. It works well for most healthy dogs as a high-value training treat or to boost the palatability and protein content of their usual diet. Because it’s calorie-dense, it needs to be fed in controlled amounts alongside a complete and balanced main food.

Strengths
- High protein and fat levels make this a very nutrient-dense, satisfying topper or treat.
- Uses chicken meat and organ meats, which provide essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
- Includes salmon oil and flaxseed, which can contribute beneficial omega fatty acids.
- Free of grains and soy, which may help some dogs that don’t tolerate those ingredients well.
Considerations
- This is chicken-based, so it is not suitable for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities.
- At about 4 kcal per treat and 4460 kcal/kg, it is quite calorie-dense and should be fed in moderation.
- This product is intended as a topper or treat, so it should not replace a complete and balanced main diet.

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 Heart
Chicken heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable animal protein source, providing taurine, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It supports lean muscle and, for cats, provides essential taurine, but should be included as part of a balanced formulation and properly sourced/processed to reduce bacterial risk, since excessive organ intake can unbalance nutrients or be a concern for pets with specific metabolic or urate-stone issues.
03
Chicken Gizzard
Chicken gizzard is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a high-quality animal protein, contributing lean protein, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and other trace minerals to canine and feline diets. It can improve palatability and nutrient density but should be properly cooked and handled to avoid bacterial contamination, and owners of pets with specific health concerns (e.g., certain renal conditions or urate stone risk) or those feeding whole pieces should consult a veterinarian before regular inclusion.
04
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.
05
Green Bean
Green beans are a low-calorie vegetable commonly used in pet foods and treats as a source of soluble and insoluble fiber, moisture, and modest amounts of vitamins and minerals (such as vitamins A and K, folate, and potassium), helping support digestive health and weight management. They are not a primary protein source and provide limited nutrition for obligate carnivores like cats, so feed in moderation and use plain, cooked or fresh beans without added salt, seasonings, or sauces to avoid gastrointestinal upset or excess sodium.
