Wisdom Air-Dried From The Soil Jerky Treat
Verified Aug 29, 2026
An air-dried jerky treat for dogs made with insect protein from crickets and black soldier fly larvae. It offers a moderate protein level for a treat and uses quinoa flour instead of traditional grains. This can work well as a training or reward treat, especially for dogs that don’t tolerate more common animal proteins as well.

Top Pick
This is a thoughtfully formulated treat using crickets and black soldier fly larvae as sustainable, novel protein sources. The protein and fat levels are reasonable for a training or occasional reward treat, and the ingredient list is short and straightforward. It may be a good option for dogs who need alternative proteins, though it’s not designed to replace a complete and balanced diet.

Where these benefits come from
Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Uses insect proteins, which can be very digestible and are novel for many dogs with food sensitivities.
- Protein content is fairly high for a treat, so it adds some nutritional value beyond just empty calories.
- Short, simple ingredient list without added colors or flavors is helpful for ingredient-sensitive dogs.
- Air-dried texture makes it soft and easy to break into smaller pieces for training.
Considerations
- This is labeled for intermittent or supplemental feeding, so it should not replace a complete and balanced dog food.
- Dogs with known insect allergies should avoid this treat, and very sensitive dogs should be introduced gradually.
- At about 9 calories per piece, portions still need to be monitored, especially for small or less active dogs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Cricket
Crickets are used as a novel, sustainable protein and fat source in pet foods and treats—typically processed into insect meal for dogs and cats. They provide digestible protein, beneficial fats and micronutrients (such as B vitamins and iron) and a chitin-based fiber that may support gut health, but should be introduced gradually to watch for gastrointestinal upset or potential cross-reactive allergies (e.g., shellfish) and chosen from reputable, contaminant-tested suppliers.

02
Black Soldier Fly Larva
Black soldier fly larva is used in pet food as a concentrated, sustainable animal-based protein and fat source, providing essential amino acids, digestible protein, medium-chain fatty acids (including lauric acid), and minerals useful for growth and maintenance in dogs and cats. It can serve as a novel or hypoallergenic alternative to traditional proteins and has a lower environmental footprint, but quality depends on rearing and processing—chitin content may affect digestibility and stool characteristics, and there are potential allergen, contamination, and regional regulatory considerations to watch for.
03
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.
04
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.

05
Yeast Extract
Yeast extract is a concentrated, water‑soluble ingredient used primarily as a natural flavor enhancer and palatant in pet foods, while also supplying soluble proteins, free amino acids, nucleotides and B‑group vitamins. It can improve palatability and provide small supportive nutrients for metabolism and digestive/immune health, but may contain notable sodium and could be a concern for animals with yeast sensitivity or those on sodium‑restricted or renal prescription diets—consult your veterinarian if unsure.
