Chicken Biscuits Treats

Verified Jun 7, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Adult Senior All Breed Sizes

These are crunchy, oven-baked chicken dog biscuits designed as a high-protein treat for dogs of all ages. They use chicken and chicken bone broth as key ingredients, with whole wheat and oat flours as the main carbohydrate sources, plus added glucosamine from the broth. They’re best used as a tasty reward or snack alongside a complete and balanced dog food.

KibbleLab Score
7.5 out of 10

This is a nicely formulated baked biscuit treat that uses real chicken and chicken bone broth for protein and flavor, with a relatively high protein level for a cookie-style snack. It’s suitable as an occasional reward for most healthy dogs, including puppies and seniors, as long as it doesn’t exceed about 10% of daily calories. The added glucosamine is a bonus, but the amount is modest, so it shouldn’t be relied on as a primary joint supplement.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses chicken and chicken bone broth as key ingredients, providing animal-based protein and good palatability.
  • Guaranteed analysis shows relatively high protein (17% minimum) and moderate fat (8% minimum) for a biscuit treat.
  • Contains glucosamine from chicken bone broth, which can contribute to joint-supportive nutrition when used alongside a balanced diet.
  • Limited, straightforward ingredient list with mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract as natural preservatives instead of artificial colors or flavors.

Considerations

  • Chicken and dairy (dried cultured skim milk) are common allergens, so this treat isn’t ideal for dogs with known sensitivities to those ingredients.
  • At about 21 calories per treat, portions should be monitored carefully—especially for small or overweight dogs—to avoid excess calorie intake.
  • Contains whole wheat flour, so it’s not suitable for dogs that require a wheat-free diet.
  • The glucosamine level, while present, is relatively low for therapeutic joint support and should not replace a dedicated joint supplement if one is needed.

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
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.
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.
