Chick'N'Apples Chicken & Apples Treats
Verified Aug 29, 2026
These crunchy, oven-baked dog treats use chicken as the main animal protein, with whole wheat flour, barley, and brown rice as the base grains. Apples, eggs, and carrots add some extra flavor and nutrients, while the firm texture helps provide a light chewing and tooth-scrubbing action. They’re designed as a supplemental reward, not as a complete diet, for dogs of any size.

Strong Choice
This is a nicely formulated biscuit-style treat that uses recognizable ingredients like chicken, apples, eggs, and carrots on a base of whole grains. The protein and fat levels are reasonable for a crunchy treat, and the texture can offer some mechanical cleaning as dogs chew. It’s best used as an occasional reward alongside a complete and balanced diet, especially for dogs who tolerate wheat and chicken well.

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
- Uses chicken and chicken meal as clear animal protein sources rather than relying entirely on plant proteins.
- Contains whole grains (wheat, barley, brown rice) plus apples, eggs, and carrots, which can add flavor and some additional nutrients.
- Crunchy, oven-baked texture can help provide mild mechanical cleaning of the teeth when chewed.
- No artificial preservatives are used; mixed tocopherols and herbal extracts are used to help maintain freshness.
Considerations
- This is not a complete and balanced food, so it should only be given as a treat in limited amounts alongside a nutritionally complete main diet.
- Contains common allergens such as chicken, eggs, and wheat, so it would not be appropriate for dogs with sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Includes cane molasses, which adds sugar and calories; treats like this should be fed in moderation, particularly for dogs prone to weight gain or with metabolic issues.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Whole Wheat Flour
Whole wheat flour is used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate source and binder, offering energy, dietary fiber and modest amounts of B vitamins and minerals compared with refined flours. It can help with stool bulk and digestive regularity but adds calories, is not essential for obligate carnivores (cats), and may provoke problems in pets with wheat/gluten sensitivities or allergies, so selection should consider individual tolerance and caloric needs.
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.

03
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide digestible energy, dietary fiber, and modest amounts of B‑vitamins and minerals; it typically offers more nutrients and fiber than white rice. It’s generally well tolerated and can help with sensitive stomachs, but because it is high in carbohydrates (not a primary protein source) and can contain trace inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing, it should be included in balanced formulations and monitored in overweight or diabetic pets.
04
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.

05
Apple
Apple is used in pet foods as a fruit ingredient that supplies soluble fiber (pectin), natural flavor, moisture, and small amounts of vitamins and antioxidants. It can support digestion and add low‑calorie sweetness, but seeds and cores should be avoided because of cyanogenic compounds, apples are relatively high in natural sugars so should be used in moderation (and washed to remove pesticides), and cats—being obligate carnivores—gain less nutritional benefit than dogs.
