Ostrich Heart and Lung Mix Treat

Verified Sep 16, 2026

Dog · Treat Small

This is a single-species organ meat treat made from smoked ostrich heart and lung for dogs. As organ meats, these pieces are naturally rich in certain vitamins and minerals and offer a novel protein source for dogs that can’t tolerate common meats. The smoked, whole-piece format makes it best suited as a high-value, occasional reward rather than a daily ration.

Top Pick

This ostrich heart and lung mix is a simple, high-protein organ meat treat that can work well for dogs who do best with novel proteins or need lower-fat options. It’s made from just ostrich organs and is smoked into firm pieces, so it’s best used as a training reward or special snack. This is a complementary treat, not a complete diet, so it should be fed in moderation alongside a balanced dog food.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Made from only ostrich heart and lung, which keeps the ingredient list very simple.
  • Ostrich is a novel protein for many dogs, which may help when common meats cause problems.
  • Organ meats naturally provide concentrated vitamins and minerals compared with muscle meat.
  • Described as relatively low in fat, which may suit dogs that need to watch their fat intake.

Considerations

  • As a treat made only from organs, this does not provide complete and balanced nutrition on its own.
  • Whole smoked pieces may be quite firm, so they should be given with supervision, especially to small dogs.
  • While ostrich is novel for many dogs, it can still cause allergies in some sensitive pets.
  • Smoked treats can be quite tasty, so it’s easy to overfeed; portions should be adjusted to avoid excess calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Ostrich Muscle Meat
Ostrich muscle meat is used in pet foods as a high-quality, novel animal protein—lean and rich in essential amino acids—often featured in limited‑ingredient or hypoallergenic formulas for dogs and cats. It supplies iron and B vitamins and is lower in fat than many red meats, but novel proteins can still trigger allergies in some animals, muscle meat alone must be balanced or supplemented to form a complete diet (cats also need adequate taurine), and raw feeding carries pathogen risks unless handled and prepared safely.
02
Heart
Heart is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods as a nutrient-dense protein source and flavor enhancer, providing concentrated amino acids, taurine, B vitamins (including B12), iron, zinc and cofactors like CoQ10. It is especially useful for cats because of their dietary taurine requirement and benefits dogs as well, but should be included as part of a balanced diet rather than the sole ingredient, and requires proper sourcing/handling (especially if fed raw) to avoid food-safety risks.
