Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a very simple, high-protein, organ-based treat that can work well for most healthy dogs when fed in moderation. The single-ingredient formula is helpful for owners who want to avoid unnecessary additives or who are monitoring specific ingredients. Because it’s rich and calorie-dense, it’s important to keep portions small, especially for dogs who are prone to weight gain or have fat-sensitive conditions.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Single-ingredient treat made from chicken hearts, providing highly digestible animal protein and organ nutrients.
- Very high protein (64% minimum) with substantial fat (29% minimum), making it a satisfying, meat-rich reward.
- Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients while offering the convenience of a dry, shelf-stable treat.
- Free from grains, corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, and artificial flavors, which may appeal to dogs with some dietary sensitivities.
Considerations
- Contains chicken, which is a common food allergen for some dogs, so it’s not suitable for dogs with known chicken allergies.
- Very calorie-dense due to the high fat content, so portions need to be small and limited, particularly for dogs that are overweight or have a history of pancreatitis or other fat-sensitive conditions.
- As an organ-based treat and not a complete diet, it should remain under about 10% of daily caloric intake to avoid unbalancing an otherwise complete and balanced food.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken Heart
Chicken heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable animal protein source, providing taurine, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It supports lean muscle and, for cats, provides essential taurine, but should be included as part of a balanced formulation and properly sourced/processed to reduce bacterial risk, since excessive organ intake can unbalance nutrients or be a concern for pets with specific metabolic or urate-stone issues.
