Lily's Kitchen Dog Chicken Bites

A training treat has one job that matters more than flavour: being small enough to hand over fifteen times in a row without a dog filling up halfway through the session. What is actually in the treat only becomes the second question once the size is right.

Lily's Kitchen make these to a grain-free recipe, with Chicken at 80%, alongside vegetable glycerine, pea protein powder, quinoa at 2% and ground ginger at 0.5%. The analytical constituents are Crude Protein 36%, Crude Fat 20%, Crude Fibre 1%, Crude Ash 2.5% and Moisture 22%, with 385 kcal per 100g. They are made for adult dogs from four months old, in an 80g pouch.

On feeding. Lily's Kitchen's own guidance is to supervise your dog while they eat any treat, and treats like this are meant to sit alongside a main diet rather than replace part of it — at 385 kcal per 100g they add up quickly in a small dog if fed generously.

Who it's for: owners doing regular training work who want a single-protein, grain-free treat with chicken clearly the main ingredient, for adult dogs rather than young puppies.
