Chewy Duck and Cranberry Holiday Jerky Bites
Product Description
Plato Holiday Feast Duck with Cranberry Jerky are chewy jerky bites made with duck as the first and only protein source, paired with cranberry for a seasonal flavor combination. Air-dried in Plato's family-owned facility in Fresno, California, the recipe uses no corn, grain, soy, or artificial additives and is naturally preserved throughout. Each 4 oz bag delivers 17 kcal per treat, making these bites a manageable holiday reward that works for training or daily snacking alongside your dog's regular diet.
Benefits
- Duck as the First Ingredient: Duck is the sole protein source in this recipe, making it a single-protein option for dogs that do better with novel or limited-protein treats.
- Cranberry for Seasonal Flavor: Real cranberry is included for a festive holiday flavor that also brings natural antioxidant properties into the recipe alongside the duck protein.
- Grain-Free Recipe: This recipe uses tapioca starch and lentil flour rather than oat or wheat flour, making it grain-free and free of corn and soy throughout the ingredient list.
- No Artificial Additives: The recipe has no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives; natural preservation comes from mixed tocopherols, organic apple cider vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract.
- Lower Calorie per Bite: At 17 kcal per treat, these jerky bites are a manageable portion for all dog sizes, making it easier to give several during a session.
- Soft Chewy Texture: The air-dried, chewy texture is easy to bite through for dogs of most ages and sizes, and the bites cut or break apart easily for training use.

How to Use
Directions for Use
- Break for training use: These chewy jerky bites cut or break apart easily by hand; portion into smaller pieces for high-frequency training rewards or for small breeds.
- Give as a holiday reward: Offer as a seasonal treat alongside your dog's regular balanced diet; these bites are not intended to replace a complete meal.
- Use year-round too: These work for holiday feasts or year-round snacking, so you don't need to save them only for the Christmas period.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Not a complete meal: These treats are a snack and should not replace your dog's regular balanced diet; use them in moderation alongside normal feeding.
- Check for duck sensitivities: Duck is the sole protein in this recipe; if your dog has a known sensitivity to duck or poultry, check with your veterinarian before use.
- Watch portion sizes: Factor the calorie content into your dog's daily intake, particularly on training days when multiple treats may be given across several sessions.
Storage Information
- Cool and dark place: Store the bag in a cool, dark place, out of extreme heat or direct sunlight between uses.
- Do not refrigerate: These work for holiday feasts or year-round snacking, so you don’t need to save them only for the Christmas period.
- Reseal after each use: Close the bag securely after every session to limit air exposure and keep the remaining bites fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What ingredients are in these holiday jerky bites?
Ans: The full ingredient list is duck, flaxseed, tapioca starch, lentil flour, coconut glycerin, cranberry, salt, mixed tocopherols, organic apple cider vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract. Eleven ingredients total, with duck as the first and only protein in the recipe.
Q2: Is this treat grain-free?
Ans: Yes. This recipe uses tapioca starch and lentil flour instead of oat or wheat flour, making it grain-free. It is also free of corn and soy throughout the full ingredient list, which makes it a clean option for dogs on grain-free diets or those sensitive to common grain ingredients.
Q3: Why is cranberry included in this recipe?
Ans: Cranberry is included as a seasonal flavor ingredient that also brings natural antioxidant properties into the recipe. It pairs with duck for the holiday flavor profile without adding grains, dairy, or artificial flavoring to achieve the seasonal taste.
Q4: Can I refrigerate these treats after opening?
Ans: No. It is specifically advised against refrigerating these treats once opened. The natural ingredients cause condensation when stored in the fridge, and that moisture can lead to mold forming on the bites. Store them in a cool, dark place at room temperature after opening.
Q5: Are these treats naturally preserved?
Ans: Yes. The recipe uses mixed tocopherols, organic apple cider vinegar, citric acid, and rosemary extract as preservatives. There are no artificial preservatives in the ingredient list, consistent with how Plato preserves their full treat range.
Q6: Can these be broken into smaller pieces for training?
Ans: Yes. The chewy jerky texture makes these easy to cut or break apart by hand. Smaller pieces work well for high-frequency training rewards, small breeds, or any session where you want to reward frequently without giving a full treat each time.
