Strong Choice
This is a high-protein, single-ingredient organ meat treat that can work very well for most healthy dogs and cats when fed in moderation. Freeze-drying helps preserve nutrients, and using whole chicken hearts provides both quality protein and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and taurine. It’s best seen as a rich, occasional treat or topper rather than a large part of the daily diet, especially for pets who need lower-calorie or lower-fat options.

Strengths
- Single-ingredient formula (100% chicken hearts) is great for ingredient-sensitive pets and for owners who want to know exactly what they’re feeding.
- Very high protein (about 42% as-fed) and moderate-to-high fat (about 19% as-fed), appropriate for a meaty, high-value treat.
- Freeze-dried processing helps retain more nutrients and flavor compared with high-heat–processed treats.
- Suitable for both dogs and cats, making it convenient for multi-pet households.
Considerations
- Chicken is a common food allergen in both dogs and cats, so this treat is not appropriate for pets with known chicken allergies or intolerances.
- At roughly 3788 kcal/kg, these are calorie-dense; overfeeding could contribute to weight gain, so portions should be small, especially for small or less active pets.
- As an organ meat–based treat, it should make up only a small percentage of the overall diet to keep the full diet balanced.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken Heart
Chicken heart is a nutrient-dense organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods and treats as a highly palatable animal protein source, providing taurine, B vitamins (notably B12), iron, zinc and coenzyme Q10. It supports lean muscle and, for cats, provides essential taurine, but should be included as part of a balanced formulation and properly sourced/processed to reduce bacterial risk, since excessive organ intake can unbalance nutrients or be a concern for pets with specific metabolic or urate-stone issues.
