Chicken Air Dried Jerky Dog Treats

Verified Jun 15, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

A high-protein, single-ingredient air-dried chicken breast treat for dogs. Made from American-sourced chicken breast, it offers a simple option for dogs who do well with chicken and for owners who like very short ingredient lists. With about 59 calories per piece, it’s best used as an occasional reward rather than a frequent snack.

KibbleLab Score
8.5 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a very simple, high-protein treat made from just chicken breast, which many dogs find highly palatable. The single-ingredient profile is appealing for dogs who tolerate chicken well and for owners wanting to avoid artificial additives. Because each treat is relatively high in calories, it’s important to factor this in to avoid unwanted weight gain.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single, clearly named animal ingredient (American-sourced chicken breast) with no fillers, colors, or sweeteners.
  • Very high protein content (minimum 70% as fed) with low fat, which suits many dogs who need lean treats.
  • Air-dried processing helps preserve nutrients compared with higher-heat methods.
  • Simple formulation can be helpful for some dogs with sensitive stomachs when chicken is a safe protein for them.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, which is a common food allergen for some dogs; not appropriate if your dog has a known chicken sensitivity or allergy.
  • Roughly 59 calories per treat is quite calorie-dense, so portions should be small and counted toward your dog’s daily calorie allowance, especially for small or less active dogs.
  • As a treat, this is not a complete and balanced diet and should not replace a full dog food meal.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Chicken Breast
Chicken breast is a lean, highly digestible animal protein commonly used in dog and cat foods to supply essential amino acids for muscle maintenance, growth, and overall energy while contributing relatively little fat. It is palatable and often featured in limited-ingredient or weight-management formulas, but can be a common food allergen for some pets and—especially in home-prepared or raw diets—requires proper cooking/handling and should be part of a nutritionally complete formula (cats in particular still need guaranteed taurine and other nutrients).
