Natural Soft Savories Chicken & Yogurt Dog Treats

Verified Jun 8, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Adult Senior All Breed Sizes

A soft, chewy dog treat made with chicken as the primary animal ingredient, along with wheat flour, potatoes, and peas as carbohydrate sources. It includes yogurt and dried skim milk, providing a dairy component, and is designed to be a palatable reward rather than a complete diet. This treat is suitable for puppies, adult, and senior dogs when used in moderation alongside a balanced main food.

KibbleLab Score
7.4 out of 10

This is a well-formulated soft treat from a reputable company, using named chicken and chicken fat as the main animal ingredients and avoiding artificial preservatives and flavors. The nutrient profile is appropriate for a treat, with moderate protein and fat and relatively low fiber, making it very palatable. It’s best used in small amounts as a reward, especially for dogs that tolerate chicken and dairy well.

The KibbleLab Score (1–10) is assessed from publicly available product data. Our evaluation is science-based, not marketing-based.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Uses named chicken and chicken fat as key animal ingredients, which generally provide good-quality, highly digestible protein and fat for dogs.
  • Formulated as a soft, palatable treat that can work well for training or rewarding dogs across life stages, from older puppies through seniors.
  • Contains vitamin E and mixed tocopherols as natural preservatives, which help maintain freshness without artificial colors or flavors.
  • Clear statement that it is for intermittent or supplemental feeding, which helps owners understand it should be paired with a complete and balanced diet.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken and dairy (yogurt and dried skim milk), which are common triggers for food allergies in some dogs; not ideal if your dog has known sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Wheat flour is included, so this is not suitable for dogs requiring a strictly wheat-free diet.
  • As with any treat, it is calorie-containing and should be limited to a small portion of the dog’s daily intake to prevent unwanted weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
02
Potato
Potato is commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate source and functional binder, supplying starch, fiber, and modest amounts of vitamins (B6, C) and potassium—often included as cooked or dehydrated flakes, starch, or protein concentrates. While it provides energy and helps formulate grain‑free recipes, potatoes are not a primary protein for dogs or cats (and are not nutritionally required for obligate‑carnivore cats), can contribute to excess calories or affect blood glucose in diabetic animals, and must be cooked and free of green skins or sprouts to avoid solanine toxicity; allergies are uncommon but possible.
03
Wheat Flour
Wheat flour is commonly used in pet foods as a carbohydrate source, binder and extender that provides digestible energy, some protein (including gluten), and small amounts of fiber and B‑vitamins when enriched. While generally safe and economical for many dogs, it is not a required ingredient for obligate carnivores like cats, can contribute to excess calories or a high glycemic load, and can trigger food allergies or gluten sensitivity in susceptible pets, so animals with known wheat sensitivities or weight concerns may benefit from wheat‑free formulations.
04
Cane Molasses
Cane molasses is a viscous sweetener and palatability enhancer used in pet foods and treats to add simple carbohydrates, help bind ingredients, and contribute trace minerals like iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium along with small amounts of B vitamins. It can improve taste and texture but is high in sugars and calories, so it should be used sparingly—excessive intake can contribute to weight gain, dental issues, or unstable blood glucose in diabetic or obese pets.
05
Glycerol
Glycerol (glycerin) is used in pet foods primarily as a humectant and sweetening agent to retain moisture, improve texture and palatability, and serve as a solvent or carrier in wet foods, treats, and liquid supplements. It provides a modest source of metabolizable energy for dogs and cats, but in large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset and may affect blood glucose, so products intended for diabetic pets or sensitive animals should be used with caution.
