Gently Dried Beef Lungs Treat

Verified Aug 29, 2026

Dog · Treat Cat · Treat All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, single-ingredient, air-dried beef lung treat suitable for both dogs and cats. With beef lung as the only ingredient, it works well for pets who need a simple, limited-protein snack or a highly palatable training reward. The relatively low moisture and moderate fat make it a concentrated source of calories and protein, so it’s best used in controlled portions alongside a complete diet.

KibbleLab Score
8.0 out of 10

Strong Choice

Nutritionally, this is a simple, high-quality single-ingredient treat made from beef lung, providing a very high level of protein with moderate fat. It’s a good option for many dogs and cats, especially those needing a limited-ingredient snack or something very tasty for training or food topping. As with any rich, concentrated treat, portion control is important so it doesn’t unbalance the overall diet or add too many calories.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single-ingredient treat made from beef lung only, which helps when you’re trying to limit or identify proteins in sensitive pets.
  • Very high protein (minimum 68%) with moderate fat (minimum 10%), making it a nutrient-dense reward in small amounts.
  • Grain-free and gluten-free without relying on legumes, and free from added colors, flavors, or preservatives based on the ingredient list.
  • Suitable for both dogs and cats and can be used in various ways, including as a treat, training reward, or food topper.

Considerations

  • This is a treat, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should make up only a small portion of your pet’s daily calories.
  • Beef is a common food allergen for some dogs and cats, so it’s not appropriate if your pet has a known beef sensitivity.
  • At about 391 kcal per 100 g, it is calorie-dense; overfeeding could contribute to weight gain, especially in small pets or those with lower activity.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef Lung
Beef lung is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable, protein-rich ingredient that is relatively lean and easy to digest. It supplies B vitamins, iron and trace minerals but is not a complete diet on its own, so it should come from reputable sources and be properly processed to reduce pathogen risk and monitored for individual food sensitivities.
