Old Mother Hubbard Classic Just Vegg'N Small Baked Dog Treats
Verified Aug 26, 2026
These are small, crunchy vegetarian dog biscuits made with whole wheat, oatmeal, and wheat bran, plus carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples for flavor. They’re oven-baked, relatively low in fat, and designed as a supplemental treat rather than a complete diet. The crunchy texture can help provide some mechanical cleaning action on the teeth while your dog chews.

Strong Choice
This is a nicely formulated, oven-baked vegetarian treat that works well as an occasional reward for most healthy dogs who tolerate wheat. The ingredients are straightforward, with whole grains and veggie/fruit inclusions, and the moderate protein and low fat are reasonable for a biscuit-style snack. Because it’s not complete and balanced, it should only make up a small portion of your dog’s daily calories and not be used as a meal replacement.

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 whole wheat flour, oatmeal, and wheat bran rather than empty starches, which can offer some fiber and nutrients in a treat format.
- Vegetable and fruit ingredients like carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples add flavor and some natural phytonutrients.
- Relatively low fat for a biscuit treat, which can be helpful for dogs that need to watch their fat intake when getting snacks.
- No artificial colors are listed, and mixed tocopherols are a safe, widely used preservative to help maintain freshness.
Considerations
- This product is not complete and balanced and is labeled for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it should remain a small part of your dog’s overall diet.
- Contains wheat and oatmeal, so it is not appropriate for dogs with known wheat or gluten sensitivities.
- Carbohydrates from grains are the main component; dogs needing very low-carb or high-protein diets should have these treats used more sparingly.
- Dental benefits from crunchy treats are modest; they don’t replace regular toothbrushing or professional dental care.

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
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (notably beta‑glucans), serving as a gentle filler or binder that can support healthy digestion and steady energy release. It provides B vitamins and minerals, is generally well tolerated by dogs and many cats when cooked and plain, but should be free of added sugars or flavorings and used cautiously for overweight or diabetic pets or animals with individual grain sensitivities.
03
Wheat Bran
Wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel used in pet foods mainly as an insoluble fiber source to increase stool bulk and support bowel motility, while also supplying small amounts of protein, B‑vitamins and minerals. In moderate amounts it can aid weight management and constipation in dogs, but excessive inclusion can reduce mineral bioavailability (phytates), loosen stools, risk rancidity if not stabilized, and may cause problems for pets with wheat/gluten sensitivities or for cats that require lower-fiber, higher-protein diets.
04
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.
05
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.
