Spiced Cake Biscuits Treats
Verified Jun 6, 2026
These baked dog treats are a low-fat, vegetarian option made with organic barley flour, cream cheese, banana, carrots, and cinnamon. They offer a crunchy, biscuit-style snack at about 16 calories per treat, making them a relatively light option for everyday rewarding. They’re best used as an occasional complement to a complete and balanced dog food rather than a primary diet.
This is a simple, organic, biscuit-style treat that can work well for dogs who do fine on grains and don’t need a meat-based reward. The calorie content is modest for a crunchy treat, which can help with weight control when used thoughtfully. It’s a nice fit for owners looking for a short, recognizable ingredient list and a lower-fat snack option.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Short, straightforward ingredient list with all organic plant-based ingredients plus cream cheese as a mild animal-derived component.
- Relatively low fat and moderate calories at about 16 kcal per treat, which can be helpful for dogs watching their weight or prone to pancreatitis (when fed in moderation).
- Baked, crunchy texture can be satisfying for most dogs and may help with perceived chewing enjoyment.
- Contains carrots and bananas, which add some natural flavor and small amounts of fiber and phytonutrients.
Considerations
- This is a vegetarian treat with no meat protein, so it should not be used to replace a complete and balanced dog food.
- Contains cream cheese (dairy), which can bother dogs with dairy sensitivities or lactose intolerance if given in larger amounts.
- Barley flour is a grain source of carbohydrate; while healthy for most dogs, it won’t suit dogs on strict grain-free veterinary-directed diets.
- Cinnamon and other flavor ingredients are present; while generally safe in these amounts, very sensitive dogs may need monitoring when trying any new treat.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Barley
Barley is a cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a digestible carbohydrate and source of dietary fiber (including soluble beta‑glucans), along with modest amounts of B vitamins and minerals. It can support healthy digestion, help moderate post‑meal blood sugar and aid weight management in dogs, but provides limited protein for obligate carnivores like cats, must be cooked/processed for good digestibility, and may be unsuitable for pets with grain sensitivities or calorie‑restricted diets.
02
Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is used in pet foods and treats primarily as a palatability enhancer and fat‑rich binder, adding flavor, creaminess and moisture to training treats, pill pockets and some homemade recipes for dogs and cats. It provides calories, some protein, calcium and fat‑soluble vitamins but is high in saturated fat and sodium, can cause gastrointestinal upset in lactose‑intolerant animals, and may contribute to pancreatitis or weight gain—so it should be offered sparingly and avoided if the product contains toxic additives (e.g., xylitol).
03
Banana
Banana is used in pet foods and treats primarily as a palatable source of carbohydrates, natural sweetness, and soluble fiber, often added in small amounts for texture and flavor. It provides potassium, vitamin B6 and modest vitamin C and fiber that can support digestion, but its high sugar and calorie content means it should be limited—especially for overweight or diabetic dogs—and it offers little nutritional necessity for obligate carnivores like cats; banana peels are also hard to digest and generally avoided.
04
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.
05
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is used in pet food mainly as a natural flavoring and aromatic and contains antioxidant polyphenols, but it is not a meaningful source of protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals for dogs or cats. In small amounts it may impart antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, however cinnamon—especially Cassia cinnamon and concentrated cinnamon oils—contains coumarin and cinnamaldehyde that can cause liver toxicity, gastrointestinal upset, skin or respiratory irritation, or allergic reactions, so it should be used sparingly and avoided in concentrated form or in pets with liver disease; consult your veterinarian before use.
