Verified Jun 15, 2026

Dog · Treat All Breed Sizes

A high-protein, freeze-dried pork heart training treat for dogs of all sizes. Made from a single animal-based ingredient, it offers nutrient-dense organ meat in tiny, crunchy pieces that are only about 1 calorie each. This makes it especially useful for frequent rewards during training without adding a lot of extra calories.

KibbleLab Score
8.5 out of 10

This is a simple, high-quality training treat made entirely from freeze-dried pork heart, providing concentrated animal protein and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. The tiny, low-calorie pieces are very practical for training sessions where you need to give many rewards. It’s a good fit for most healthy dogs, especially those whose owners prefer single-ingredient, meat-based treats.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single animal-based ingredient (pork heart) offers high-quality, organ-based protein with naturally rich B vitamins, iron, and zinc.
  • Very high protein (54% min) with moderate fat (9% min), appropriate for most dogs as a reward treat.
  • Low calorie density per piece (about 1 kcal) is ideal for frequent training rewards without markedly increasing daily caloric intake.
  • Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients and flavor while keeping the treat crunchy and convenient.

Considerations

  • Contains pork, which can be a trigger for dogs with pork-specific food allergies or intolerances.
  • As a high-protein organ meat treat, portions still need to be moderated in dogs with conditions requiring protein, phosphorus, or organ-meat restriction, even though each piece is low calorie.
  • Not a complete and balanced diet, so it should be used strictly as a treat alongside a nutritionally complete main food.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Pork Heart
Pork heart is an organ meat used in pet foods as a high-quality protein source and nutrient-dense inclusion, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins (including B12 and riboflavin), iron and organ-specific nutrients such as taurine that are particularly important for cats. It can enhance palatability and nutrient variety but should be part of a balanced diet rather than the sole ingredient, and owners should observe proper handling/cooking to avoid pathogens and be mindful of potential food sensitivities or formulation imbalances from excessive organ content.
