Lamb Freeze Dried Dog Treats

Verified Jun 9, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

A single-ingredient, freeze-dried lamb liver treat for dogs, made from New Zealand–sourced lamb liver. With very high protein and moderate fat, it works well as a high-value reward, meal topper, or occasional snack. The limited-ingredient design can be useful for dogs that need simpler, more predictable treats.

KibbleLab Score
8.6 out of 10

This is a high-protein, single-ingredient freeze-dried lamb liver treat that suits most healthy dogs as a training reward or occasional snack. The use of a named organ meat provides concentrated nutrients, and the simple formula is helpful for owners who want to know exactly what their dog is getting. Because it’s rich and calorie-dense, it’s best fed in moderation, especially for dogs prone to weight gain or with sensitive stomachs.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single, clearly named ingredient (lamb liver) makes it easy to avoid unwanted proteins and helps with elimination diets or food-sensitive dogs that tolerate lamb.
  • Very high protein and relatively low moisture due to freeze-drying, which preserves nutrients and flavor well.
  • Organ meat like liver is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals, adding nutritional value beyond just calories.
  • Calorie info per treat (about 7 kcal each) makes it easier to control portions, especially for training.

Considerations

  • Contains lamb, which can be a trigger for dogs specifically allergic to lamb protein.
  • Liver is quite nutrient- and calorie-dense, so overfeeding could contribute to excess calories or, in extreme amounts, imbalance; it should remain a small part of the overall diet.
  • Not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only be used as a treat or topper alongside a nutritionally complete dog food.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Lamb Liver
Lamb liver is an organ meat used as a nutrient-dense protein and flavor enhancer in pet foods and treats, supplying concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), iron, copper and high-quality amino acids important for both dogs and cats. It is highly palatable and can help prevent nutrient deficiencies, but should be fed in moderation because excessive liver intake can lead to vitamin A toxicity and digestive upset, and proper sourcing/handling is important to avoid foodborne pathogens.
