Filled Hoof Cheese & Bacon Flavor Treat
Verified May 25, 2026
This is a long-lasting beef hoof chew for dogs, stuffed with a soft, cheese- and bacon-flavored filling. The natural beef hoof provides a tough chewing surface, while the filling contains chicken-based ingredients, fats, and carbohydrates for extra taste and calories. It’s designed as an occasional chew treat for dogs of all sizes, not as a complete diet.
Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, relatively low-fat chew treat that’s meant for enjoyment and chewing time rather than balanced daily nutrition. The natural beef hoof offers a durable chewing surface, but the filling includes several sugars, colorings, and flavorings that are there mainly for palatability. It can work well as an occasional chew for healthy dogs that tolerate beef and chicken, but it’s quite calorie-dense and not appropriate for dogs with known food allergies to those proteins.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- High protein content (minimum 50%) from beef hoof and chicken meal, which helps make it a more substantial chew than many treats.
- Single main animal-source chew (beef hoof) that can provide prolonged chewing, which many dogs find satisfying and engaging.
- Relatively low minimum fat (3%), which may be preferable compared with very fatty chews for dogs that need to limit fat intake, provided it’s fed sparingly.
- Clear calorie information per hoof (about 147 kcal), which helps you factor this treat into your dog’s daily calorie allowance.
Considerations
- Contains both beef (hoof) and multiple chicken ingredients, which are common triggers for food allergies—avoid if your dog reacts to either protein.
- Includes several added sugars (corn syrup, sugar, dextrose) and sweeteners like propylene glycol and glycerin, which add calories without nutritional benefit and aren’t ideal in large or frequent amounts.
- Artificial colors (titanium dioxide, Yellow 5, Yellow 6) and multiple flavorings are present; these are not nutritionally necessary and some owners may prefer to limit them.
- Each hoof is fairly high in calories for a single treat, so portions should be limited, especially for small dogs or those needing weight control, and chewing should always be supervised to reduce risk of dental fractures or gulping large pieces.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Beef
Beef is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a primary animal protein and palatability enhancer, supplying high-quality essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and zinc that support muscle maintenance and overall health. Owners should note beef can be calorie- and fat-dense and is a relatively common allergen, and raw or improperly handled beef carries microbial risks, so formulation, fat content, and sourcing/processing are important considerations.
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.
