Top Pick
This is a nicely formulated training treat with rabbit as the lead animal protein, which can be useful if you're looking for something different from the more typical chicken- or beef-based options. The calorie content is modest at about 3 calories per piece, making it easier to use frequently during training without overdoing calories. It’s a good fit for most healthy dogs as a supplemental reward, not as a main diet.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Rabbit as the first ingredient provides an animal-based protein source many dogs find highly palatable.
- At about 3 calories per treat, these are well suited for frequent training rewards without adding too many calories.
- Includes salmon oil, which contributes beneficial omega fatty acids for skin and coat support.
- Uses safe preservatives like citric acid, tocopherols, and calcium propionate to help maintain freshness.
Considerations
- Contains grains and yeast, which are fine for most dogs but could be an issue if your dog has specific grain or yeast sensitivities.
- Rabbit is less common but still can cause allergies in some dogs, so introduce slowly if your dog has a history of food reactions.
- These treats are not complete and balanced, so they should only make up a small portion of your dog’s daily calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Rabbit
Rabbit is used in pet foods as a novel or alternative animal protein source for dogs and cats, prized for lean, highly digestible muscle protein and often selected for pets with food sensitivities. It supplies essential amino acids and low fat, but owners should choose complete, balanced formulations (cats especially need adequate taurine), be mindful of mineral imbalances if bone-in/whole‑prey ingredients are included, and avoid improperly handled raw rabbit due to food‑safety risks.

02
Brewer's Rice
Brewer’s rice is a milling byproduct of rice processing made up of small broken white rice kernels commonly used in pet foods as a highly digestible carbohydrate source, filler and binder that provides readily available energy for dogs and cats while contributing little protein, fat or fiber. It is generally gentle on the stomach and cost‑effective, but diets using it must supply other ingredients for essential nutrients; pet owners should note its relatively high glycemic load (relevant for weight or diabetic pets), the potential for trace environmental contaminants associated with rice, and not confuse it with brewer’s yeast.
03
Brewer's Yeast
Brewer's yeast (deactivated Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a flavor enhancer and supplemental source of protein, B‑complex vitamins, trace minerals and immunomodulating components such as beta‑glucans. It can support skin, coat and general nutritional status, but may cause gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions in yeast‑sensitive pets, is not a live probiotic, and should be used cautiously in animals prone to purine‑related issues or those receiving antifungal medications.
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
Barley
Barley is a cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a digestible carbohydrate and source of dietary fiber (including soluble beta‑glucans), along with modest amounts of B vitamins and minerals. It can support healthy digestion, help moderate post‑meal blood sugar and aid weight management in dogs, but provides limited protein for obligate carnivores like cats, must be cooked/processed for good digestibility, and may be unsuitable for pets with grain sensitivities or calorie‑restricted diets.
