Freeze-Dried Raw You're My Butter Half Dog Treats
These freeze-dried raw dog treats use chicken and chicken liver as the main animal ingredients, with peanut butter for added flavor and goat milk for digestive support. They are high in protein and fat, crunchy in texture, and work well as small, high-value rewards rather than a meal replacement. The simple ingredient list avoids grains and artificial preservatives, flavors, and additives.

Top Pick
This is a high-quality, meat-forward freeze-dried treat with a short, straightforward ingredient list and very high protein and fat, making it ideal as a high-value reward rather than an everyday staple. The addition of goat milk may be gentle on digestion for many dogs, and the absence of grains and artificial additives will appeal to owners looking for a more minimally processed option. It is best suited for healthy dogs without chicken or peanut allergies who can tolerate richer, calorie-dense treats in moderation.

Strengths
- Chicken and chicken liver provide high-quality, highly palatable animal protein for dogs.
- Very high protein and fat levels make this a satisfying, high-value reward in a small bite.
- Goat milk may be easier to digest than some dairy and can be gentle on many dogs’ stomachs.
- Short ingredient list with no grains, corn, wheat, soy, or artificial preservatives or flavors.
Considerations
- Contains chicken and chicken liver, so it is not a good option for dogs with chicken allergies or intolerances.
- The high fat and calorie density mean these treats should be fed sparingly, especially for dogs prone to weight gain or pancreatitis.
- Peanut butter is safe for most dogs but may not suit those with peanut sensitivity or owners avoiding legumes or nuts.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
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.

02
Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a highly palatable protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B-complex), iron, and copper that support energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and skin/coat health in both dogs and cats. Because it is so rich, liver should be fed in moderation—excessive intake can cause vitamin A toxicity, and its high fat content and risk of bacterial contamination mean it should be properly sourced or cooked and limited for pets with pancreatitis or specific dietary restrictions.
03
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is commonly used as a palatability enhancer or occasional treat in pet diets, providing concentrated fats, modest protein, some fiber and micronutrients like vitamin E and B vitamins. Because it is calorie-dense and can contain added salt, sugar or harmful sweeteners, it should be offered sparingly and only in xylitol‑free formulations — avoid regular use in pets prone to obesity or pancreatitis.
04
Goat's Milk
Goat's milk is used in pet foods and treats as a dairy ingredient and supplemental source of digestible protein, fats, calcium, and certain B vitamins, and can serve as a base for milk replacers or probiotic-containing products. Some dogs and cats tolerate goat's milk better than cow's milk because of smaller fat globules and slightly lower lactose, but it is calorie-dense, not a complete diet, can still cause lactose intolerance or allergic reactions in sensitive animals, and should be pasteurized and used cautiously (or avoided) in pets with pancreatitis or weakened immune systems due to raw-milk pathogen risks.
05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
