Ossy Chews Ostrich Treat
Verified Aug 28, 2026
A single-ingredient ostrich gizzard chew designed as a high-protein, low-fat treat for dogs of all sizes. The use of ostrich offers an alternative animal protein that may suit some dogs who don’t do well with more common meats. This is a chew, not a complete diet, so it should be offered alongside a balanced dog food.

Top Pick
This is a simple, single-ingredient ostrich gizzard chew that can work well as an occasional high-protein, low-fat treat for many dogs. Using ostrich provides a less common protein source, which some dogs with food sensitivities may tolerate better. It’s best suited as a supplemental chew for dogs who already eat a complete and balanced diet.

Strengths
- Made from a single named animal ingredient, Western Cape ostrich gizzard, which keeps the formula very simple.
- Ostrich is a relatively lean, high-protein meat, which can be helpful for dogs who need lower-fat treats.
- Using a novel protein like ostrich may be useful for some dogs that react to more common proteins like chicken or beef.
- Whole-piece chew format can help provide mental enrichment and satisfy natural chewing behavior.
Considerations
- This is a chew only and not a complete diet, so it must be fed alongside a balanced dog food.
- As an animal protein, ostrich can still trigger food allergies in some sensitive dogs, even though it is less common.
- Chews like this can pose a choking or obstruction risk if pieces become small, so close supervision is important.
- Hard chews may not be ideal for dogs with dental disease, broken teeth, or a history of gulping treats.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Gizzard
Gizzard is a small, muscular organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a flavorful, highly digestible animal protein that contributes B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and connective tissue proteins such as collagen. It can boost palatability and nutrient density for dogs and cats but should be processed or handled safely to control pathogens if fed raw and is not a complete diet on its own (e.g., typically low in calcium), so it is best used as part of a balanced formulation.
