Brutus Broth Beef Biscuits Dog Treats

Verified Jun 15, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Adult Senior All Breed Sizes

These baked beef biscuits are crunchy dog treats made with whole wheat flour, beef, beef bone broth, and a short, simple ingredient list. They provide moderate protein and fat for a treat, plus a small amount of glucosamine from the bone broth. They’re designed as a supplemental reward for dogs of all ages rather than a complete diet.

KibbleLab Score
7.6 out of 10

From a nutrition standpoint, these are relatively simple, baked beef treats with recognizable ingredients and no artificial colors or preservatives. They offer moderate protein and fat for a biscuit-style treat and include bone broth as a source of glucosamine, which is a nice bonus for joint support, though at treat-level amounts. They’re best used as an occasional reward alongside a complete and balanced dog food, especially for dogs that tolerate wheat, beef, and dairy well.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Short, straightforward ingredient list with named beef and beef bone broth as key animal-sourced ingredients.
  • Moderate protein (17%) and fat (8%) for a crunchy biscuit treat, suitable for most healthy dogs when fed in moderation.
  • Includes glucosamine from beef bone broth, which can contribute a small amount of joint-supportive nutrients.
  • No artificial colors or preservatives; uses mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract as natural preservatives.

Considerations

  • Contains several common allergens, including beef, wheat, oats, barley, and dairy (cultured skim milk), so it’s not a good fit for dogs with food sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • At about 21 calories per treat, it’s important to count these toward your dog’s daily calorie intake, especially for small or weight-prone dogs.
  • Labeled for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it must be fed alongside a complete and balanced dog food rather than as a primary diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Whole Wheat Flour
Whole wheat flour is used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate source and binder, offering energy, dietary fiber and modest amounts of B vitamins and minerals compared with refined flours. It can help with stool bulk and digestive regularity but adds calories, is not essential for obligate carnivores (cats), and may provoke problems in pets with wheat/gluten sensitivities or allergies, so selection should consider individual tolerance and caloric needs.
02
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
03
Oat Flour
Oat flour is used in pet food mainly as a carbohydrate source and binder that contributes soluble fiber (including beta‑glucans), modest protein, and B vitamins and minerals. It can help support digestive health and stool quality in dogs and is generally safe for cats in small amounts, but it is calorie‑dense so shouldn’t dominate diets for obligate carnivores and pets with grain sensitivities should be monitored for rare oat allergy or cross‑contamination with gluten‑containing grains.
04
Molasses
Molasses is a viscous sweetener and humectant used in pet foods primarily to improve palatability, act as a binder in kibble and treats, and provide quick energy along with small amounts of minerals such as iron, calcium and potassium. Because it is high in simple sugars and calories and contributes only trace micronutrients rather than balanced nutrition, molasses should be used sparingly—particularly in diets for overweight or diabetic dogs and cats—and may worsen dental disease or cause gastrointestinal upset in sensitive animals.
05
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.
