Ocean Chews Crispy Cod Fish Skins Treats

Verified Jun 3, 2026

Dog · Treat Puppy Adult All Breed Sizes

A simple, single-ingredient crunchy fish skin treat made from dehydrated codfish skins for dogs. It’s very high in protein and naturally rich in marine omega fatty acids, which can support skin and coat health. This is best used as a supplemental chew rather than a balanced diet, for puppies and adult dogs of any size.

KibbleLab Score
8.6 out of 10

This is a high-protein, limited-ingredient fish skin chew that works well for most dogs who tolerate fish. The single animal ingredient and dehydrated format make it straightforward and generally easy to understand from an ingredient standpoint. It’s best suited as an occasional or regular treat alongside a complete and balanced main diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single-ingredient treat made from dehydrated codfish skins, which is helpful for dogs needing simpler ingredient lists or limited-ingredient chews.
  • Very high protein content (around 80% as-fed) coming from animal source, which is nutritionally dense for a treat.
  • Naturally provides marine omega fatty acids from cod, which can support skin and coat health when used regularly as part of an overall diet.
  • Relatively low fat (about 4% as-fed) compared with many other chews, which can be useful for dogs that need lower-fat treat options.

Considerations

  • As a fish-based product, it is not appropriate for dogs with fish allergies or sensitivities.
  • This is a treat/chew, not a complete and balanced food, so it should only make up a small portion of the dog’s overall daily calories.
  • The high protein density means calories can add up if given freely, so portions should be monitored, especially in small or less active dogs.
  • Dehydrated chews can be quite firm; dogs that gulp treats or have dental issues may need supervision and possibly smaller pieces to reduce choking risk.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Cod Skin
Cod skin is commonly used as a single-ingredient, high-collagen protein source or crunchy chew in pet foods and treats, offering easily digestible protein and small amounts of marine fats that can support skin, coat and joint health. It is highly palatable and low in fat, but owners should be aware of potential fish allergies, choking or dental hazards from hard chews, and choose products from reputable sources to minimize contaminants and excess salt.
