Ingredients and Formulation
The primary ingredient is deboned chicken, a high-quality protein source that anchors a straightforward, grain-free formula. Potatoes and peas serve as digestible carbohydrate sources, while flaxseed and safflower oil contribute natural fatty acids. Whole food additions include carrots, apples, and blueberries. The formula contains no artificial additives, corn, wheat, or soy.
Texture, Size, and Feeding Guidance
These training treats have a soft, moist texture that is easy to break into smaller pieces, making them practical for training sessions where quick delivery and portion control matter. The larger 14 oz bag format is well-suited for households with multiple dogs or owners who train frequently. Chew time is minimal – these are designed for fast consumption rather than extended chewing. Adjust piece size based on your dog’s size and eating style.
Training Treats – Functional Use
Small size and easy portioning make these treats well-suited for frequent reward use during obedience training, recall practice, or behavior reinforcement. The soft texture allows for quick consumption so training momentum is not interrupted. The larger bag format reduces the need for frequent restocking during active training periods. Suitable for use in multiple short sessions throughout the day when portioned appropriately.

Always supervise your dog during treat time
Feed as a treat – not intended as a complete diet
Adjust daily food portions to account for treat calories
Provide fresh water at all times
Store in a cool, dry place and reseal bag after each use to maintain freshness
