AvoHearts Turkey & Avocado Treats
Verified Aug 21, 2026
These soft, semi-moist dog treats use turkey as the main protein source, with sweet potato and avocado as the primary carbohydrates and fat sources. They’re a grain-free, limited-ingredient option suitable for puppies through adults and work well as training rewards or occasional treats alongside a complete diet. The moderate protein and fat levels make them a tasty supplement rather than a main food source.

Top Pick
This is a high-quality, limited-ingredient soft treat that uses turkey as the primary protein and avoids grains, artificial colors, and artificial flavors. It’s a reasonable choice for dogs who do well with turkey and for owners looking for a simple-ingredient training or reward treat. Like all treats, it should be fed in moderation, especially for smaller or less active dogs, because the calories can add up quickly.

Strengths
- Short, simple ingredient list with turkey as the first ingredient and main protein source.
- Limited-ingredient and grain-free formulation can be helpful for some dogs with more sensitive stomachs or ingredient sensitivities (as long as they tolerate turkey).
- Contains avocado, which provides healthy fats that can support skin and coat when used appropriately in dog foods and treats.
- Soft, semi-moist texture and ~14 kcal per treat make these practical for training or small, frequent rewards when portions are controlled.
Considerations
- Contains turkey, which is a meat protein and could be an issue for dogs with poultry allergies.
- At about 14 calories per treat, portions should be monitored, especially for small or overweight dogs, so total daily calories stay in a healthy range.
- This product is a treat only and not a complete and balanced diet, so it should make up just a small part of your dog’s overall daily intake.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.

02
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

03
Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable glycerin is a plant-derived humectant and sweet-tasting solvent commonly used in pet foods and treats to retain moisture, improve texture, dissolve flavorings or vitamins, and enhance palatability. It provides usable calories, is generally regarded as safe for dogs and cats in typical amounts, but excessive intake can cause digestive upset and may be a consideration for diabetic pets or those needing calorie-restricted diets.
04
Avocado
Avocado is sometimes included in pet foods or oils as a source of palatable monounsaturated fats, some fiber, and fat‑soluble vitamins like A and E, which can help support skin and coat condition and provide concentrated energy for dogs and cats. However, the fruit contains persin (more concentrated in leaves, skin and the pit) and is high in fat, so large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible animals, and the pit presents a choking/obstruction hazard; commercial formulations typically use controlled amounts or purified oil rather than whole fruit.

05
Salt
Salt (sodium chloride) is used in pet foods as a flavor enhancer, mild preservative and a source of essential electrolytes (sodium and chloride), and is often provided in iodized form to help meet iodine requirements for thyroid function; these minerals support nerve and muscle function and fluid balance in dogs and cats. Small, controlled amounts are nutritionally important, but excessive salt can cause dehydration, worsen heart or kidney disease and, in extreme cases, lead to salt toxicity, so pet owners should avoid adding extra table salt or high‑sodium human foods and follow veterinary guidance for animals with medical conditions.
