Filled Bone Cheese & Bacon Flavor Treat
Verified Jun 4, 2026
This is a long-lasting beef femur bone treat filled with a cheese and bacon–flavored, chicken-based filling for dogs of all sizes. The bone itself provides chewing enjoyment, while the filling supplies extra protein and fat from chicken meal and chicken fat, along with various flavorings. It’s intended as a high-calorie chew reward rather than a complete and balanced diet.
Nutritionally, this is a fairly typical filled bone chew: the outer beef bone provides chewing time, while the filling is a palatable mix of chicken-based ingredients and sweeteners. It can work fine as an occasional high-value treat for healthy adult dogs who tolerate chicken and richer snacks. Because of the sugar syrups, artificial colors, and relatively high calories per bone, it’s best used sparingly and not for dogs that need strict weight control or have food sensitivities.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Real beef bone provides a firm chewing surface, which can help satisfy a dog’s natural urge to chew.
- Contains animal-based protein and fat from chicken meal and chicken fat, which are good-quality nutrient sources in moderation.
- Roasted bone processing adds a safety step compared to raw bones, and the filling is preserved with commonly used, safe preservatives to maintain quality.
- Guaranteed analysis shows a reasonable protein level for a treat, so it offers more than just empty calories.
Considerations
- The filling relies heavily on corn syrup, sugar, and other sweeteners, which add calories without much nutritional value and may not be ideal for dogs needing weight management or with metabolic concerns.
- Multiple chicken ingredients mean it’s not suitable for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities.
- As with any hard bone, there is a risk of tooth fractures or gastrointestinal issues (like obstruction or splintering), so it should only be given under close supervision and avoided in very aggressive chewers or dogs with known dental issues.
- Contains artificial colors (titanium dioxide, Yellow 5, Yellow 6), which are not necessary from a nutritional standpoint and some owners prefer to avoid.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Beef Bone
Beef bone in pet food is typically used as a source of minerals (especially calcium and phosphorus), ash and sometimes marrow-derived fat and flavor, most often included as ground bone or bone meal to help meet mineral requirements and enhance palatability for dogs and cats. While it can contribute useful minerals and texture, excessive bone increases ash and can disrupt mineral balance, and whole or cooked bones risk dental fracture, splintering, choking or gastrointestinal obstruction (raw bones also carry bacterial contamination concerns), so bone-containing ingredients must be carefully formulated and whole bones should only be given under veterinary guidance.
02
Corn Syrup
Corn syrup is a liquid sweetener and humectant used in some pet foods and treats to add simple-carbohydrate energy, improve palatability, texture and moisture retention. It provides minimal essential nutrients, can contribute to excess calories, dental disease and poor glycemic control, and is of limited benefit for obligate carnivores like cats (which have reduced sensitivity to sweet tastes), so its use should be limited—particularly for overweight pets or animals with diabetes.
03
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a flavorful liquid base or gravy to improve palatability and add moisture, providing modest amounts of soluble protein, electrolytes and minerals. It can help encourage eating and increase hydration, but owners should choose low‑sodium, onion‑ and garlic‑free formulations (or make homemade broth), since commercial broths may contain excessive salt, seasonings or additives that are unsafe or unsuitable for dogs and cats.
04
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.
05
Sugar
Sugar is used in pet foods primarily as a sweetener and quick source of digestible carbohydrate to improve palatability, but it provides no essential nutrients and is not necessary in a balanced diet. In dogs and cats excess added sugar can contribute to obesity, dental disease and blood glucose spikes (cats are generally less responsive to sweet taste), and pet owners should avoid foods with unnecessary sugars and be especially cautious about sugar substitutes like xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs.
