Wisdom Air-Dried From The Seed Recipe Jerky Treats
Verified Aug 28, 2026
This is a plant-based, air-dried jerky treat for dogs that uses lentil protein, sunflower meal, quinoa, and potato protein instead of animal-derived ingredients. It provides moderate protein and fat for everyday treating, with added fruits, vegetables, and vitamin-mineral supplements for overall nutritional support. It’s designed as a supplemental reward rather than a complete diet and can suit dogs whose owners prefer a meat-free treat option.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a thoughtfully formulated, meat-free jerky treat with a decent protein level and a range of whole-plant ingredients plus added vitamins and minerals. It can work well for dogs that tolerate legumes and grains and whose owners are looking for a vegetarian-style reward. As with any treat, it should stay a small portion of the diet, and the legume-heavy profile may not be ideal for dogs on grain-free, pulse-rich main diets where heart health has been a concern.

Strengths
- Provides a moderate 25% protein with multiple plant protein sources for a meat-free treat option.
- Air-dried format helps keep the treat relatively dense and less processed than some extruded biscuits.
- Includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, kelp, and flaxseed that add fiber and phytonutrients.
- Added vitamins, minerals, taurine, and marine microalgae oil support more complete nutrient coverage for a treat.
Considerations
- This is a supplemental treat, not a complete diet, so it should not replace a balanced dog food.
- Lentil protein and other legumes are major ingredients, which some dogs with sensitive digestion may not tolerate well.
- The legume-heavy recipe may be worth reconsidering if your dog already eats a grain-free, pulse-rich main diet and has heart health risk factors.
- There is no animal protein, so it may not be as appealing or suitable for dogs needing higher-quality animal-based protein overall.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Lentil
Lentils are a plant-based source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and micronutrients (notably folate and iron) commonly used in pet foods to add bulk, promote satiety and help moderate post-meal blood sugar. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs when properly processed and balanced with animal-derived amino acids, but lentil protein is less digestible and incomplete for obligate carnivores like cats; high legume inclusion can also increase gas or digestive upset and has been discussed in the context of diet-associated heart concerns in dogs, so lentils should be used in nutritionally complete, vetted formulations.

02
Sunflower
Sunflower (in the form of seeds, oil, meal or lecithin) is commonly used in pet foods as a source of fats, vitamin E and, depending on the form, fiber and some plant protein; sunflower oil provides linoleic acid (an omega‑6) that helps support skin and coat health. While beneficial in moderation, sunflower ingredients are calorie‑dense and high in omega‑6s so they can promote weight gain or an imbalanced omega‑6:omega‑3 ratio if not balanced with omega‑3 sources, and they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause digestive upset in sensitive animals.

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
Potato Protein
Potato protein is a concentrated plant-based protein used in pet foods as a protein source, binder and texture enhancer, offering a highly digestible amino acid profile with relatively good lysine content compared with other plant proteins. It can be a useful hypoallergenic alternative for dogs and a supplement in balanced formulas, but it should not be the sole protein for obligate carnivores like cats because it lacks certain nutrients (e.g., sufficient taurine and other animal-derived factors) and must be used within complete, nutritionally formulated diets; quality processing also minimizes potato-specific compounds such as glycoalkaloids.
05
Alfalfa Nutrient Concentrate
Alfalfa nutrient concentrate is a plant-derived ingredient added to pet foods to supply concentrated fiber, some plant protein and a range of micronutrients (notably calcium, vitamin K and various vitamins and minerals) and can help increase fiber and nutrient density. It can be beneficial for promoting digestive bulk and micronutrient levels in dog formulas (used more cautiously in cat diets, as cats are obligate carnivores) but should be used in moderation because high calcium, vitamin K or phytoestrogen content and limited digestibility of plant proteins may be a consideration for pets with certain medical conditions or on specific medications.
