Lamb Mini-PureBites Freeze-Dried Treats
Verified Jun 3, 2026
A single-ingredient, freeze-dried lamb liver treat designed for puppies and small dogs, but suitable as a high-value reward for most dogs. It provides very high protein and relatively low calories per piece, making it useful for frequent training rewards or as a simple topper. The limited-ingredient formula can be helpful for dogs that do best with straightforward, meat-only treats.
This is a very high-quality, single-ingredient freeze-dried lamb liver treat with excellent protein content and only about 1 kcal per piece, which is ideal for training or for dogs that need to watch their calorie intake. The use of a named organ meat offers a rich source of nutrients, and the lack of added fillers, colors, or sweeteners makes it a clean option. As with all treats, it should make up only a small portion of the overall diet to keep the main food balanced.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Single animal-source ingredient (lamb liver) makes it easy to know exactly what you’re feeding and can be useful for dogs with multiple ingredient sensitivities.
- Very high protein (minimum 65% as-fed) and relatively low fat for a liver treat, with about 1 kcal per treat, which is excellent for frequent training rewards.
- Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients and flavor without needing artificial preservatives.
- No added fillers, colors, or sweeteners, which keeps the treat nutritionally simple and focused on meat.
Considerations
- Because it is made from liver, it’s nutrient-dense; if fed in large amounts daily, it could contribute extra vitamin A and other nutrients, so it should remain a small percentage of the overall diet.
- Contains lamb, which is a common allergen for some dogs; not suitable if your dog is known to react to lamb or other red meats.
- This is a treat/topper only and not a complete and balanced diet, so your dog still needs a full, balanced dog food as their main nutrition.

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.
