100% chicken breast, gently dried in the UK. 85.3% protein, 6% fat, and naturally rich in glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support. Available as chunks or strips in 180g and 400g. Single ingredient, nothing added. Packed in 100% recyclable pouches.
Why We Recommend It
At 85.3% protein and 6% fat, these are about as clean as a training treat gets. One ingredient. No fillers, no additives, no compromise. The joint support angle is what elevates them beyond a standard chicken treat — glucosamine and chondroitin occur naturally in chicken breast, and for working dogs putting regular stress on their joints through retrieves, runs, and field work, that passive support compounds over a season. The choice of chunks or strips also gives handlers flexibility: strips are easier to break to size mid-session, chunks work well as a jackpot reward.

My friends, I want to talk to you about chicken. Proper chicken. Not ‘chicken flavour’, not ‘chicken derivative’ — actual chicken breast, dried and ready to go. I had the strips version and I can confirm they are outstanding. Craig says they're good for my joints. I say they're good for my morale. Both things are true. 85% protein apparently. I don't know what I was doing before these but I'm not going back. 🐾

Professional Insight
At 85.3% protein and 6% fat, this is one of the leanest high-protein natural treats on the market. The glucosamine and chondroitin content is a genuine differentiator — most handlers think of joint supplements as a separate product category, but incorporating them passively through daily treats is a practical and cost-effective approach for working dogs. The gentle drying process preserves the natural protein structure and palatability far better than high-heat processing, which is why single-ingredient dried chicken treats consistently outperform processed alternatives for training motivation.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Use strips for training sessions and chunks as jackpot rewards. The strip format tears easily one-handed, which keeps your focus on your dog rather than your treat pouch. For working dogs doing regular retrieves or long field sessions, the natural glucosamine and chondroitin content makes these a smart daily treat choice — you're rewarding the work and supporting the joints that make the work possible.

FAQs
What's the difference between chunks and strips?
Both are 100% chicken breast with the same nutritional profile. Strips are easier to tear into small pieces mid-session, making them ideal for high-repetition training. Chunks are slightly denser and work well as a jackpot reward or standalone treat. Choose based on how you plan to use them.
How do these support joint health?
Chicken breast is naturally rich in glucosamine and chondroitin — compounds that support cartilage health and joint function. For working dogs in regular training, incorporating these treats into the daily routine provides passive joint support alongside any dedicated supplements your vet may recommend.
Are these suitable for dogs with allergies?
These treats contain only chicken breast — no additives, fillers, or other proteins. They are suitable for dogs on chicken-based elimination diets. Not suitable for dogs with a confirmed chicken allergy.
Which size should I order?
The 180g is ideal for trying the format for the first time or for occasional use. The 400g offers better value for regular training use or multi-dog households.
Can I use these as a daily treat alongside a complete food?
Yes — but deduct the calorie contribution from your dog's daily food allowance. At 85.3% protein and 6% fat, these are nutrient-dense, so a little goes a long way.
