Wisdom Air-Dried From the Air Recipe Jerky Treat

Verified Aug 17, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Adult Senior All Breed Sizes

An air-dried jerky treat for dogs made from a mix of quail, duck, goose, and duck organ meats, with quinoa as a carbohydrate source. It offers a relatively high protein and fat content for a treat and uses natural mixed tocopherols for preservation. This is designed as a supplemental reward, not as a complete diet.

9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a high-meat, air-dried jerky treat suitable for dogs of all ages as an occasional reward or training treat. The combination of poultry meats and organs provides flavorful animal protein, while quinoa adds some additional nutrients. It fits best for dogs who tolerate poultry well and don’t need to limit calories too strictly from treats.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Quail, duck, goose, and duck organs provide rich animal protein and important nutrients like iron and B vitamins.
  • The guaranteed analysis shows relatively high protein and fat, which many active dogs find satisfying in a treat.
  • Quinoa offers an alternative carbohydrate source for owners avoiding traditional grains.
  • Mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract are safe preservatives that help keep the treats fresh.

Considerations

  • This treat relies heavily on poultry, so it is not a good option for dogs with chicken or other poultry allergies.
  • At about 19 calories per piece, portions should be monitored, especially for small or overweight dogs.
  • This product is a treat, so it should not replace a complete and balanced dog food as the main diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Quail
Quail is used in pet foods as a novel or alternative animal protein—available as meat, whole-ground bird, or meal—to provide high-quality, bioavailable protein and essential amino acids for both dogs and cats. It supplies B vitamins and minerals like iron, is often featured in limited-ingredient or hypoallergenic formulas, but pets can still develop sensitivities, raw or cooked bones may present hazards, and diets relying heavily on quail should be complete or balanced by formulation or supplementation.

02
Duck
Duck is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful animal protein and fat source, commonly included in limited-ingredient or novel-protein formulas for dogs and cats. It supplies high-quality amino acids and energy and can help pets with sensitivities to common proteins, but it is relatively rich in fat (so may be unsuitable for low‑fat or pancreatitis-prone animals), can still trigger allergies in some pets, and requires proper cooking/processing and handling to avoid bacterial contamination.
View ingredient
03
Quinoa
Quinoa is used in pet foods as a cooked pseudo‑grain providing digestible carbohydrates, fiber and a relatively high‑quality plant protein with a broad amino acid profile. It supplies B vitamins and minerals (e.g., iron, magnesium) and can be a useful energy and fiber source for dogs, but should be cooked and rinsed to remove bitter saponins, offered in moderation due to calorie density and potential digestive upset, and it should not replace essential animal‑derived nutrients (such as taurine) required by cats.

04
Poultry
Poultry is commonly used as a primary animal protein source in dog and cat foods, providing highly digestible essential amino acids, fats for energy, and nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and zinc while improving palatability. Pet owners should be aware that poultry can be a food allergen for some animals and that product quality (whole-muscle vs by‑products), fat level, and proper processing/cooking are important to minimize risks from pathogens or excess fat, especially in pets with pancreatitis or food sensitivities.
05
Coconut Glycerin
Coconut glycerin is a plant-derived glycerol used in pet foods as a humectant and mild sweetening/texture agent to retain moisture, improve mouthfeel and palatability, and serve as a solvent or mild preservative in soft treats, toppers, and wet formulas. It provides easily metabolized calories and is generally safe for dogs and cats in small amounts, but high levels can cause gastrointestinal upset or laxative effects, so manufacturers should ensure purity, account for added calories, and note that it is not the dog-toxic sweetener xylitol.
