Fur Real?! Skin & Coat Health Salmon Recipe Treat
This is a soft salmon and chicken-based dog treat designed to complement your dog’s regular diet while adding extra omega-rich ingredients for skin and coat support. It uses real salmon as the primary protein, along with barley and oat flours and added flaxseed and tuna oil as additional fatty acid sources. It’s best used as a high-value reward rather than a main food, especially for dogs who benefit from extra skin and coat support.

Strong Choice
Nutritionally, this is a well-formulated treat with a good protein and fat profile for a snack and several omega-3 sources that can support skin and coat health. The use of salmon, chicken, flaxseed, and tuna oil provides a nice mix of animal and plant fats. It does contain chicken, so it is not a good match for dogs with poultry allergies, and calories add up quickly if treats are overfed.

Strengths
- Salmon and chicken provide high-quality animal protein in a relatively protein-rich treat at 23% minimum protein.
- Multiple omega-3 sources from salmon, flaxseed, and tuna oil can help support skin and coat quality.
- No wheat, corn, or soy, which may appeal to dogs who don’t tolerate those grains well.
- Uses mixed tocopherols instead of artificial preservatives and avoids artificial colors and flavors.
Considerations
- Contains chicken, so it is not suitable for dogs with chicken or poultry allergies.
- At about 21 calories per treat, portions should be limited to avoid unwanted weight gain.
- This is a treat, not a complete and balanced diet, so it should not replace your dog’s regular dog food.
- Includes barley and oat flour, which may not be ideal for dogs needing very low-grain or low-carb treats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.

02
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.

03
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.

04
Oat Flour
Oat flour is used in pet food mainly as a carbohydrate source and binder that contributes soluble fiber (including beta‑glucans), modest protein, and B vitamins and minerals. It can help support digestive health and stool quality in dogs and is generally safe for cats in small amounts, but it is calorie‑dense so shouldn’t dominate diets for obligate carnivores and pets with grain sensitivities should be monitored for rare oat allergy or cross‑contamination with gluten‑containing grains.
05
Honey
Honey is used in pet foods and treats primarily as a natural sweetener and binder, supplying simple carbohydrates for quick energy but contributing negligible protein, fiber, or essential vitamins. Raw honey contains antioxidants and may have mild antimicrobial or prebiotic effects, but because it is high in sugar and can worsen obesity, dental disease, or diabetes—and may carry microbial contaminants—use should be limited (and avoided in very young or immunocompromised animals); consult your veterinarian before offering honey to pets, especially cats (which are obligate carnivores and gain little benefit) or diabetic animals.
