Strong Choice
This is a simple, plant-based, holiday-themed treat that’s best used as a low-calorie training reward or occasional snack. It’s not intended to provide significant protein or balanced nutrition, but it can work well for dogs that tolerate grains and coconut. The tiny calorie count per piece makes it easy to give multiple treats without adding much to daily calories.

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
- Very low calories per treat make this a good option for frequent rewarding or dogs watching their weight.
- Short ingredient list with easily recognizable plant-based ingredients.
- Naturally colored with beet and carrot juices instead of artificial dyes.
- Baked, crunchy texture can be satisfying for many dogs and useful for training rewards.
Considerations
- This treat is very low in protein and mainly provides carbohydrates and fat, so it should not replace a complete diet.
- Brown rice syrup and sorghum mean the treats are relatively carb-heavy, which may not suit dogs needing strict carb control.
- Contains coconut and coconut cream, which some dogs with sensitive stomachs or fat restrictions may not tolerate well.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Sorghum
Sorghum is a cereal grain commonly used in pet foods as a source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber and modest plant protein, often chosen as a gluten‑free alternative to wheat or corn. It can provide fermentable fiber and antioxidant compounds that may support digestion and glycemic control, but is generally less digestible than some grains unless properly processed and certain tannin‑rich varieties can reduce nutrient availability, so quality sourcing and appropriate formulation are important—particularly for cats, whose diets should remain primarily animal‑based.

02
Brown Rice Syrup
Brown rice syrup is used in pet foods as a carbohydrate sweetener and humectant to add calories, texture and mild sweetness, and can act as a binder in treats and wet diets. It supplies easily digestible energy but offers little protein, fat or micronutrients, can raise blood glucose (important for diabetic or overweight pets), and may contain trace levels of inorganic arsenic from rice so it should be used sparingly and not as a primary ingredient—particularly for obligate carnivores like cats who have limited dietary need for carbohydrates.
03
Coconut
Coconut is used in pet foods primarily as a source of fat (often via coconut oil) and fiber, supplying medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) such as lauric acid that can provide quick energy and may support skin and coat health in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats. While small amounts can offer benefits like improved coat condition and possible antimicrobial effects, coconut is calorie-dense and can cause gastrointestinal upset, weight gain, or contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible pets, so it should be used sparingly and not as a substitute for balanced protein sources; avoid sweetened or xylitol-containing coconut products.

04
Coconut Cream
Coconut cream is used in pet foods and treats primarily as a rich fat source and flavoring to add creaminess, moisture and calories, supplying medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) such as lauric acid. While MCTs may support skin and coat condition and have mild antimicrobial effects, coconut cream is very high in fat and calories and can cause gastrointestinal upset, weight gain or contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible dogs and cats, so it should be used sparingly and not as a staple ingredient.
05
Beet Juice
Beet juice is commonly used in pet foods as a natural colorant and mild flavoring, and can contribute small amounts of minerals and antioxidant betalain pigments. It provides little protein or fiber, contains natural sugars that may be a concern for diabetic or overweight pets, and can cause red/pink staining of stool or urine that might be mistaken for blood.
