Whole Organ Chicken Hearts Freeze-Dried Dog Treats

Verified Aug 18, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Adult Senior All Breed Sizes

A single-ingredient, freeze-dried raw treat made from whole chicken hearts, providing a rich source of animal protein and fat for dogs of all ages. With chicken heart as the only ingredient, this is a high-value, grain-free reward that can work well for training or occasional treating. Because it’s very nutrient-dense and calorie-dense, it’s best used in moderation alongside a complete and balanced diet.

KibbleLab Score
9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a high-quality, single-ingredient freeze-dried treat that offers concentrated animal protein and fat from whole chicken hearts. It’s a nice option for dogs who do well with chicken and for owners who want a minimally processed, high-value training reward. As with any rich organ-based treat, it should be fed sparingly, especially for dogs prone to pancreatitis, weight gain, or with chicken allergies.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single-ingredient formula (chicken heart) provides very clear ingredient transparency and can be helpful for dogs that do well on simple treats.
  • High protein (minimum 45%) and relatively high fat (minimum 20%) give a very palatable, nutrient-dense reward, ideal for training or high-value treats.
  • Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients while offering the convenience of a shelf-stable product.
  • Grain-free and free from added colors, flavors, or preservatives based on the ingredient list, which can be useful for dogs with some dietary sensitivities.

Considerations

  • Contains chicken, which is a common food allergen for some dogs, so it isn’t suitable for dogs with known chicken sensitivities.
  • High fat and calorie-dense (about 10 kcal per piece) means portions should be limited, particularly for dogs prone to pancreatitis or weight gain.
  • Organ meats are rich and can cause digestive upset if overfed, so these should stay as occasional treats, not a large part of the diet.
  • Not a complete and balanced food, so it must be fed alongside a nutritionally complete main diet and kept to no more than about 10% of daily calories.

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.
