Verified Aug 26, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

These crunchy dehydrated dog treats feature green crab as the main animal ingredient with kelp, brown rice, and potato flour. They provide a modest protein boost with naturally occurring omega-3s from the crab and kelp, making them suitable as small, low-calorie training rewards for most adult dogs.

9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a thoughtfully formulated, fish-based crunchy treat that uses green crab and kelp to provide protein and natural omega-3 fatty acids in a low-calorie bite. The ingredient list is short and simple, which is helpful if you like knowing exactly what your dog is getting. It can work well as a training treat or everyday reward for dogs that tolerate fish and grains.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Short, simple ingredient list with green crab as the primary animal ingredient.
  • Each treat is low in calories, which makes it easier to use for frequent training rewards.
  • Kelp and crab provide natural omega-3 fatty acids that can support skin and coat health.
  • Dehydrated texture offers a crunchy treat that is easy to break into smaller pieces for small dogs or training.

Considerations

  • Contains crab, which can be a problem for dogs with fish or seafood allergies.
  • Includes brown rice and potato flour, so it is not suitable for strict grain-free or very low-carb approaches.
  • At 12% protein and 1% fat, this is not meant to be a high-protein meat-heavy treat but a lighter snack.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Crab
Crab is used in pet foods mainly as a palatable seafood protein and flavoring, providing high‑quality animal protein along with trace minerals (zinc, copper, selenium) and modest amounts of marine omega‑3s that can benefit skin and coat condition in dogs and cats. While it can enhance taste and offer lean nutrition, shellfish is a common allergen, whole shells can pose choking or digestive risks, and processed crab may contain added salt or environmental contaminants, so only properly prepared crab products formulated for pets are recommended.

02
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.
03
Potato Flour
Potato flour is a dried, ground whole‑potato ingredient used in pet foods primarily as a digestible carbohydrate, binder and texture agent, contributing energy, some dietary fiber and minerals like potassium while helping with kibble structure or wet food viscosity. It provides little protein, can raise the dietary glycemic load and caloric density so should be used in balanced formulations (especially for overweight or diabetic pets), and while not a common allergen it has been noted as a frequent component of some grain‑free recipes that have been scrutinized in relation to canine heart health studies.
04
Kelp
Kelp is a dried seaweed ingredient used in dog and cat foods primarily for trace minerals (notably iodine), vitamins, fiber, and natural flavor rather than as a significant protein or energy source. It can support skin, coat and general micronutrient intake, but iodine levels are highly variable and excessive iodine or contaminants from poorly sourced kelp can affect thyroid function or introduce heavy metals, so pets with thyroid disease should have intake discussed with their veterinarian and products should come from reputable suppliers.
