Cubits Salmon Treats
Verified Aug 17, 2026
These are small, salmon-based training treats for dogs of all ages and sizes, with a high protein content and moderate fat. Salmon and cheese powder provide animal protein and omega-3 fats, while potato starch helps hold the treats together. They’re designed as a tasty reward rather than a complete diet, so they should be used in moderation alongside a balanced dog food.

Top Pick
This is a high-protein, bite-sized salmon treat that works well for training or occasional rewarding for most dogs. The simple ingredient list and fish-based protein make it a nice option for many pets that tolerate fish. As with any treat, it should make up only a small portion of the daily calories to avoid unwanted weight gain.

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
- Salmon as the first ingredient provides high-quality animal protein and natural omega-3 fatty acids.
- The protein level is relatively high for a treat, which can help keep the calorie density reasonable per piece.
- The ingredient list is short and straightforward, which many dogs tolerate well.
- Free from grains, corn, and soy, which may help dogs already avoiding those ingredients.
Considerations
- Because this is a treat, it is not a complete and balanced diet and should not replace regular dog food.
- Fish is a common allergen for some dogs, so it may not suit pets with known fish sensitivities.
- Cheese powder adds dairy, which can upset the stomach in dogs that are sensitive to lactose or milk proteins.
- At about 9 calories per treat, portions should be counted into your dog’s daily calorie allowance, especially for small or less active dogs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.

02
Cheese
Cheese is commonly used in pet foods and treats as a palatable source of animal protein, fat, calcium and flavoring, often incorporated into training treats, toppers, or small reward portions. While it provides protein, calcium and certain vitamins, cheese is calorie- and fat-dense and can be high in sodium and lactose, so use sparingly—choose low‑fat varieties for pets prone to pancreatitis or obesity and avoid cheeses containing toxic additives like garlic or onion; many dogs and some cats may also be lactose intolerant.

03
Potato Starch
Potato starch is a highly digestible carbohydrate commonly used in pet foods as a binder, thickener and texture agent to help kibble formation, stabilize wet formulas and create chewy treats. It provides readily available energy but is low in protein, fat and micronutrients, so while generally safe, its high glycemic load and limited nutritional value mean it should be used sparingly—particularly for overweight pets, diabetic animals or cats on low‑carbohydrate diets, and excessive amounts can sometimes contribute to loose stools.
04
Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable glycerin is a plant-derived humectant and sweet-tasting solvent commonly used in pet foods and treats to retain moisture, improve texture, dissolve flavorings or vitamins, and enhance palatability. It provides usable calories, is generally regarded as safe for dogs and cats in typical amounts, but excessive intake can cause digestive upset and may be a consideration for diabetic pets or those needing calorie-restricted diets.
05
Vinegar
Vinegar (acetic acid) is used in pet foods primarily as a preservative, pH regulator and flavoring/acidulant to help inhibit microbial growth and enhance palatability, but it provides negligible nutritional value. In small, food‑grade amounts it is generally safe, though concentrated or excessive exposure can cause gastrointestinal upset, oral or skin irritation and should not be used as a home remedy for medical conditions—consult your veterinarian for pets with digestive, urinary, or kidney issues.
