Turkey & Duck Chompy Chompers Treat

Verified Aug 26, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

A crunchy dog treat featuring turkey as the first ingredient with added duck and mixed grains and legumes. This snack provides moderate protein and fat with some fiber from barley, sorghum, chickpeas, and sweet potato. It’s designed as a palatable reward rather than a complete diet and should be given in moderation due to its calorie content per piece.

8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

This is a well-formulated, meat-first crunchy treat that uses turkey and duck along with grains and chickpeas for structure and palatability. The protein and fat levels are reasonable for an occasional reward, and the calorie content per treat is clearly stated, which helps with portion control. It’s a good fit for most healthy dogs as a small part of their daily calories, but not appropriate as a main food.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Turkey is the first ingredient, so the main protein source is from animal origin.
  • Includes whole grains and sweet potato, which add fiber and nutrients rather than empty fillers.
  • Uses approved preservatives like citric acid and tocopherols instead of artificial colors or flavors.
  • Calorie content per treat is provided, which makes it easier to avoid overfeeding treats.

Considerations

  • Contains turkey, duck, and peanut oil, so it is not suitable for dogs with poultry or peanut allergies.
  • At about 20 calories per treat, portions should be limited, especially for small or less active dogs.
  • Cane molasses and glycerin add sweetness and palatability but also contribute extra calories without much nutritional value.
  • This is a treat only and does not provide complete and balanced nutrition for a full diet.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.

02
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.
View ingredient
03
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.
View ingredient
04
Chickpea
Chickpeas are a legume commonly used in pet foods as a plant-based protein, source of digestible carbohydrates, and supply of soluble and insoluble fiber that helps with stool quality and satiety. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs but are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause gas or digestive upset if underprocessed; additionally, high inclusion of legumes in some grain‑free diets has been discussed as a potential factor in canine dilated cardiomyopathy so diets should be balanced and any concerns discussed with your veterinarian.
View ingredient
05
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.
