Pup Me Up Shake Training Bites Treats

Verified Jul 29, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

These baked training treats are designed as a light, post-activity reward for dogs of any size. They use oats, peanut butter, and bacon as key flavor and calorie sources, with flaxseed adding some additional fiber and fatty acids. At about 4 calories per bite, they’re suitable for frequent training rewards when balanced with your dog’s regular diet.

KibbleLab Score
8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a tasty, relatively low-calorie training treat that can fit well into most dogs’ diets when used in moderation. The ingredient list is straightforward and wheat free, with oats, peanut butter, and bacon providing palatability and energy. It’s best viewed strictly as a treat, not a source of balanced nutrition, and the peanut butter and bacon mean it won’t be appropriate for dogs with those specific food sensitivities.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Simple, wheat-free recipe with recognizable ingredients like oats, peanut butter, and bacon, which many dogs find highly palatable.
  • Low calorie density at about 4 calories per treat, which is helpful for training or frequent rewarding without adding too many extra calories.
  • Includes flaxseed, which can contribute some fiber and beneficial fatty acids.
  • Moderate moisture level for a baked treat, which can make it more appealing and easier to chew for many dogs.

Considerations

  • Contains peanut butter and bacon, so it is not suitable for dogs with sensitivities to peanuts or pork, and may be relatively rich for dogs that need very low-fat treats.
  • Protein content is modest, reflecting that this is a carbohydrate- and fat-focused treat rather than a high-protein option.
  • This product is a treat and is not formulated to be complete and balanced, so it should make up only a small portion of your dog’s daily calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Oat
Oats are commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (beta‑glucans), plant protein, B vitamins and minerals, which can support healthy digestion and help moderate blood glucose and cholesterol. They are generally well tolerated by dogs and can be included sparingly for cats, but owners should avoid flavored or sweetened preparations (and ingredients like xylitol or raisins), be mindful of possible grain sensitivities or cross‑contamination with gluten, and prefer cooked oats for better digestibility and portion control due to caloric content.

02
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is commonly used as a palatability enhancer or occasional treat in pet diets, providing concentrated fats, modest protein, some fiber and micronutrients like vitamin E and B vitamins. Because it is calorie-dense and can contain added salt, sugar or harmful sweeteners, it should be offered sparingly and only in xylitol‑free formulations — avoid regular use in pets prone to obesity or pancreatitis.
03
Bacon
Bacon is used in pet foods primarily as a flavoring and palatability enhancer rather than a balanced protein source, and it contributes high levels of fat and sodium. While it may make food more appealing to dogs and cats, bacon provides limited essential nutrients and frequent or large amounts can promote obesity, pancreatitis, hypertension, and increased exposure to preservatives (nitrates/nitrites), so it should be used sparingly or avoided in pets with pancreatitis, heart, or kidney disease.
04
Rice
Rice is a common carbohydrate source and binder in dog and cat foods, supplying readily digestible energy and often used in formulations for sensitive stomachs or hypoallergenic diets. White rice is gentle and easy to digest while brown rice provides more fiber and micronutrients, but rice is low in essential amino acids, has a relatively high glycemic index, and can accumulate trace arsenic, so it should not be relied on as a primary protein and portions should be considered for diabetic or weight‑management pets.

05
Cane Molasses
Cane molasses is a viscous sweetener and palatability enhancer used in pet foods and treats to add simple carbohydrates, help bind ingredients, and contribute trace minerals like iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium along with small amounts of B vitamins. It can improve taste and texture but is high in sugars and calories, so it should be used sparingly—excessive intake can contribute to weight gain, dental issues, or unstable blood glucose in diabetic or obese pets.
