Frequently Asked Questions

Choose by the protein your dog already does well with, since each of our Apple Twists pairs one meat with a skinless apple slice. Chicken Breast & Apple Twists use USDA chicken breast, Turkey Breast & Apple Twists use American USDA turkey breast, Pork & Apple Twists use USDA pork, and Beef & Apple Twists use USA Grass-fed Beef. If you want the most protein, Beef & Apple Twists list 59.28% minimum crude protein, while the chicken, turkey, and pork versions each list 55%. All four list 1.5% minimum crude fat. If your dog has a food allergy, check the ingredient list for the protein they need to avoid and talk with your vet before switching. Each one comes in bags from 4oz up to 5 lb, so you can start with a small bag.

They use the same core flavor combination, but the format is different. Chicken & Sweet Potato Twists are a chewier, rope-style treat: we slow-bake fresh sweet potato and twist 100% chicken breast around it, so they are lean and high in protein. The crunchy version is just USDA chicken breast and organic sweet potato, and the soft version adds vegetable glycerin. Chicken & Sweet Potato Cookies are a baked, crunchy biscuit that is lighter in protein. Pick the Twist for a slightly longer chew time and the Cookie for a quick, crunchy reward. The Twists come soft or crunchy in bags from 4oz up to 5 lb.

The Chicken Burger with Chicken Liver blends in chicken liver for extra flavor and nutrient density, while the Chicken Breast Burger (35.59% protein and 7.26% fat) sticks to a simpler, milder chicken breast recipe. If your dog is a picky eater, the liver version's stronger smell can be the more effective option.

Our Chicken Chips are cut thinner and wider for a crispier bite, while Chicken Frites (75% protein and 1% fat) keeps the classic thicker French-fry cut. Both are the same clean chicken breast recipe, just a different shape for dogs who prefer one texture over the other.

They're both single-ingredient, dehydrated toppers meant to sprinkle over your dog's regular food, just with different base proteins. Chicken Crumbles is made from 100% USDA chicken breast and runs about 75% protein with 1% fat, a mild option that's easy on most stomachs. Beef Crumbles is made from Grass-Fed USDA Extra Lean Beef and comes in close behind at 74.13% protein with an even lower 0.55% fat, giving it a richer, meatier flavor. Either one is a simple way to boost the protein and flavor of a meal, so it mostly comes down to which flavor your dog prefers.

Neither is objectively better, it really comes down to your dog's tolerance and taste. Our Chicken Jerky (78.27% protein and 2.5% fat) runs leaner than our Beef Jerky Dog Treats (74.13% protein and 1.5% fat), so if you're watching fat intake, chicken has a slight edge, while beef tends to have a richer flavor dogs with a bigger appetite often prefer. Everything is made in our USDA-inspected kitchen in Eldred, Pennsylvania, 100% USA-sourced with zero fillers and zero artificial preservatives.

Our Chicken Burger with Chicken Liver is best for dogs still developing their teeth and older dogs who can't chew harder treats. It has four ingredients: USDA chicken, chicken liver, organic California brown rice, and vegetable glycerin. We make it with whole USA farm-raised chicken, and it is all-natural. The glycerin, made from plant oils, keeps the burger very soft and bendable. It also breaks easily into small pieces for training. You can pick a Small burger, about 1 1/2 inches across, or a Large one, about 2 1/2 inches across. Each size comes in bags from 4oz up to 5 lb. If your dog has dental trouble, your vet can tell you which treats are safe to chew.

We make four chicken twists, and the main choice is what comes with the chicken. Chicken & Sweet Potato Twists wrap 100% chicken breast around slow-baked sweet potato. Chicken Breast & Apple Twists pair lean chicken breast with a skinless apple slice. Chicken & Butternut Squash Twists pair USDA chicken breast with American butternut squash, and you can pick 2 inch or 4 inch twists. Wild Alaskan Salmon & Chicken Breast Twists add wild Alaskan salmon and list the most protein of the four, 77.77% minimum crude protein. Chicken & Sweet Potato Twists and Wild Alaskan Salmon & Chicken Breast Twists come Soft or Crunchy, and the Soft version adds vegetable glycerin. Every one of the four comes in a 4oz bag, so you can try one before buying more.

Our Chicken Blueberry Strips are our Chicken Breast Strips with real, unsweetened blueberries added. They have just two ingredients, USDA Chicken Breast and Blueberries, with no added sugar. They come in the same easy-to-feed 1" x 4" strip, slowly oven-baked to a crunchy texture that breaks easily for dogs of all sizes, even tiny puppies. The guaranteed analysis is 66.4% protein and 3.0% fat. They are sourced and made in the USA by Preen Pets in our own USDA-inspected kitchen in Eldred, Pennsylvania.

Our Dark Meat Chicken Meatballs and our Chicken Meatballs differ mainly in the cut of chicken. Dark Meat Chicken Meatballs are made from dark chicken meat and organic California brown rice. Chicken Meatballs use USDA chicken breast with the same organic California brown rice. They also come in different jars: a 35oz jar for the Dark Meat Chicken Meatballs and a 38oz jar for the Chicken Meatballs. Each is sold in bags from 4oz up to 5 lb, and we source and make both in the USA. Both are slowly oven-baked into small, pre-portioned meatballs with a somewhat crunchy bite that is still easy to chew. Both are excellent treats for puppies and elderly dogs. If your dog has dental problems, ask your vet before you choose a crunchy treat.

Sprinkle a spoonful of Chicken Crumbles - Food topper over your dog's wet or dry food and stir it in. The crumbles are one ingredient, USDA chicken breast, broken into a loose crumble that spreads evenly. Fussy eaters benefit most: a spoonful over dinner is usually all it takes to turn an ignored bowl into a finished one. The topper has no grain, fillers, or preservatives. Bags come in 3oz, 6oz, and 8oz. Count the topper as part of the day's food if your dog is on a weight plan, and ask your vet if you are unsure.

Yes, pork is a fine, well-tolerated protein for most dogs. Our Pork Jerky (74% protein and 1.5% fat) runs a bit richer than our leaner Chicken Jerky (78.27% protein and 2.5% fat), so it can be a good change of pace if your dog is bored with the same chicken treats every day. Everything is made in our USDA-inspected kitchen in Eldred, Pennsylvania, 100% USA-sourced with zero fillers and zero artificial preservatives.

Both work great for daily use, but they offer different benefits. Our Wild Alaskan Salmon Frites (73.08% protein and 5% fat) is loaded with Omega-3s for joint, heart, and coat support, while our Chicken Frites (75% protein and 1% fat) is leaner and often more budget-friendly for daily training. Many owners rotate between the two for variety and balanced nutrition. Everything is made in our USDA-inspected kitchen in Eldred, Pennsylvania, 100% USA-sourced with zero fillers and zero artificial preservatives.

The Chicken & Turkey Duo is a bundle of 8 oz of soft Chicken Breast Strips and 4 oz of our Turkey Tendon Twist. The Chicken Breast Strips are USA lean chicken breast with no fillers, in easy-to-feed 1" x 4" strips, and the soft version is made with USDA chicken breast and vegetable glycerin. The Turkey Tendon Twist is 100% USDA turkey tendon and nothing else, hand-baked to a moist, chewy texture that works the teeth. That gives your dog a soft, easy reward and a longer chewy treat in one order. The Duo ships free. Both treats are sourced and made in the USA by Preen Pets. See the product page for current pricing.

Just Chicken is our soft jerky strip made with three ingredients: whole chicken, chicken liver, and vegetable glycerin. We add chicken liver to the whole chicken, which gives each strip a darker color and makes it heartier and more nutritious for your dog. Vegetable glycerin comes from plant oils, and it keeps the strips very soft and bendable. That makes Just Chicken easy to chew for puppies and for older dogs who can't chew harder treats. Each strip is about 1 inch by 4 inches and breaks into small pieces for training. It is all-natural, made with 100% USA ingredients, and high in protein and low in fat. It comes in bags from 4oz up to 5 lb. If your dog has dental problems, ask your vet which textures are safe.

Yes, they really do contain cheese. Our Chicken Parmesan Meatballs are made with just three ingredients: USDA chicken, organic California brown rice, and real parmesan cheese. They run 47.11% protein and 5.9% fat. They're slowly oven-baked into a meatball shape that's easy to chew, and they come in small, pre-portioned pieces, which makes them a favorite for puppies and older dogs alike. They are somewhat crunchy rather than soft. Because there is real dairy in the recipe, we'd skip these if your dog has a dairy sensitivity, and check with your veterinarian if you're unsure.

We make chicken treats in many shapes, so pick the one that fits how you use treats. Chicken Jerky, Chicken Frites, and Chicken Chips are each made from 100% chicken breast. For training, Chicken Chips are small enough to use as a reward, and Chicken Frites snap into smaller pieces. Chicken Jerky Bites come in small ¾" x ¾" pieces that are easy to chew. If you want a cookie, Chicken & Apple Cookies and Chicken & Carrot Cookies are crunchy cookies made with chicken breast and organic rolled oats. For a longer chew, the Hooves Dog Chew Stuffed Chicken Breast - Oat is a long-lasting chew that keeps dogs busy. To add chicken to dinner, Chicken Crumbles - Food topper stirs right into your dog's bowl.

If chicken is off the table, you have plenty of other single-protein options to rotate through. Our Rabbit Strips (47.5% protein and 15% fat on the guaranteed analysis) and Duck Meatballs (48% protein and 2.3% fat on the guaranteed analysis) are true novel proteins that most chicken-sensitive dogs tolerate well, and our Beef Jerky Dog Treats (74.13% protein and 1.5% fat on the guaranteed analysis) or Lamb Jerky Bites (56.12% protein and 4.6% fat on the guaranteed analysis) give you more variety without any chicken in the ingredient list. Everything comes out of our USDA-inspected kitchen in Eldred, Pennsylvania, made and sourced 100% in the USA with zero fillers and zero artificial preservatives. Always double check the specific product page, since we do make chicken-based treats across most of our lines.

Our Chicken Cranberry Strips are a two ingredient treat made with USDA chicken breast and cranberry, slow oven baked into the same convenient 1 inch by 4 inch strip we use for our Chicken Blueberry Strips. They come out with a satisfying crunch but stay easy to chew and easy to break into smaller pieces, so they work for dogs of every size right down to tiny puppies. On the guaranteed analysis they run 53.0% crude protein and 4.0% crude fat.

The difference really comes down to the fruit and the numbers. Our Chicken Blueberry Strips pair the same USDA chicken breast with blueberries and come in higher on protein at 66.4% with 3.0% crude fat, while the cranberry version brings a little more fat and a different flavor for dogs who want some variety in the rotation. Both are made and sourced entirely in the USA in our own Eldred, Pennsylvania kitchen, with no fillers and no artificial preservatives. The Cranberry Strips are a newer addition to the lineup, so please check the product page for current availability.

Our Duck Jerky Strips with Pork and Duck Jerky Strips with Beef (Soft) differ in their second protein and their texture. The Pork strips pair USDA duck breast with USDA pork, and we sell them in a Crunchy version made from just those two meats. Duck Jerky Strips with Beef (Soft) pair duck meat with Grass-Fed extra lean beef and add vegetable glycerin. Those soft strips come as 4 inch by 1/2 inch pieces that are easy to break into small portions. We source and make both kinds of duck strips in the USA. Choose the Pork strips if your dog does better without beef, and the Beef strips if you want a soft strip. If your dog has a food allergy, ask your vet which protein to avoid.

They're both dehydrated, single-protein toppers meant to sprinkle over regular food, just with different base proteins. Beef Crumbles gives a rich, meaty flavor boost, while Wild Alaskan Salmon Crumbles adds Omega-3s alongside the flavor upgrade, which is the better pick if joint or coat support is also a goal.

They start from the same Beef Frites (74.13% protein and 1.5% fat) recipe, but our Beef Frites with Omega-3 Fish Oil (74.13% protein and 1.5% fat) has fish oil added specifically to boost the Omega-3 content for joint, heart, and coat support. If your dog doesn't need the extra fatty acids, the original is a fine everyday choice.

Our Beef Liver (58.84% protein and 4.07% fat) is a single-ingredient, nutrient-dense organ meat treat that most dogs love, but organ meat is rich, so we'd suggest using it as a high-value training treat in smaller amounts rather than an everyday snack, to avoid overdoing vitamin A intake.

Our Beef Liver is a one-ingredient treat: Grass-Fed USDA beef liver, with no fillers, preservatives or additives. We slowly dehydrate 5 pounds of beef liver to make each pound of these crunchy treats, which keeps their rich aroma. It is dehydrated, not freeze-dried like some other liver treats. The pieces run 1 to 2 inches, a good chew size for small to large dogs, and they make a handy training aid. The guaranteed analysis lists 58.84% protein and 4.07% fat. We source and make it in the USA, and you can buy it in bags from 4 oz to 5 lb.
