Top Pick
This is a higher-protein, insect-based dog treat that can be a nice option for owners interested in sustainable protein sources or dogs that tolerate traditional meats poorly. The simple ingredient list is a plus, though it still includes chickpea and peanut flavoring, which some sensitive dogs may not tolerate. As with any treat, it should make up only a small portion of the overall diet.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Black soldier fly grubs provide a highly digestible, novel animal protein source for many dogs.
- The treat is relatively high in protein and moderate in fat for a cookie-style snack.
- A short, simple ingredient list can be easier to assess for dogs with food sensitivities.
- Crunchy texture that can be broken into smaller pieces makes it handy for training or frequent rewarding.
Considerations
- Contains chickpea, so it’s not ideal for dogs that need to avoid legumes.
- Includes peanut butter flavoring, which may not suit dogs with peanut sensitivities.
- This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it should only be a small percentage of your dog’s daily calories.
- Made in multiple countries, so ingredient sourcing and batches may vary somewhat over time.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Black Soldier Fly Larva
Black soldier fly larva is used in pet food as a concentrated, sustainable animal-based protein and fat source, providing essential amino acids, digestible protein, medium-chain fatty acids (including lauric acid), and minerals useful for growth and maintenance in dogs and cats. It can serve as a novel or hypoallergenic alternative to traditional proteins and has a lower environmental footprint, but quality depends on rearing and processing—chitin content may affect digestibility and stool characteristics, and there are potential allergen, contamination, and regional regulatory considerations to watch for.
02
Chickpea
Chickpeas are a legume commonly used in pet foods as a plant-based protein, source of digestible carbohydrates, and supply of soluble and insoluble fiber that helps with stool quality and satiety. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs but are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and may cause gas or digestive upset if underprocessed; additionally, high inclusion of legumes in some grain‑free diets has been discussed as a potential factor in canine dilated cardiomyopathy so diets should be balanced and any concerns discussed with your veterinarian.

03
Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable glycerin is a plant-derived humectant and sweet-tasting solvent commonly used in pet foods and treats to retain moisture, improve texture, dissolve flavorings or vitamins, and enhance palatability. It provides usable calories, is generally regarded as safe for dogs and cats in typical amounts, but excessive intake can cause digestive upset and may be a consideration for diabetic pets or those needing calorie-restricted diets.
04
Peanut Butter Flavor
Peanut butter flavor is used mainly as a palatability enhancer in pet foods and treats to make products more appealing, providing a distinctive nutty taste without necessarily contributing significant protein or essential nutrients when included as a flavoring. Pet owners should use products containing peanut butter flavor in moderation because real peanut butter is calorie- and fat-dense (which can promote weight gain or pancreatitis if overfed), may contain salt or sugars, and some commercial peanut products include xylitol—a sweetener that is highly toxic to dogs—so xylitol-containing ingredients must be avoided.
