Dogswell Vitality Chicken Breast Treats

Chicken Breast Treats, by Vitality, are all-natural, vitamin-enhanced treats made from real chicken that will help maintain your dog’s eyes, skin and coat. The treats look like strips of bacon that have been dried and hardened.

Even more notable than what these treats contain, is what they don’t contain. Recently dog treat ingredient lists have gotten overly long, even with natural brands, and I was refreshingly surprised to find a product free of fillers like soy, wheat, flour, corn and byproducts. In addition, Vitality’s product has no hormones, salt or artificial flavors. Simply put, if a dog killed a chicken in the wild, this is what it would taste like.

The natural food is extremely filling and therefore, depending on your dog’s size, you’re going to want to monitor the amount of treats he ingests during the day. Vitality includes an easy-to-read chart on the back of the bag outlining exactly how many treats you should feed your dog based on its size and weight.

My dog loves Dogswell’s chewy texture, which usually takes him a few minutes to break down and ingest. He treats it sort of like a digestible chew toy — but whereas so many toys are chock full of preservatives, Vitality is naturally chewy. Bottom line: by focusing on the natural benefits of foods that dogs would eat in the wild, Vitality has created a great tasting and healthy alternative to digestible chew toys.

Pros: Dogs will love the chewy texture, you will love the healthy ingredients.

Cons: None.
