Ans: Real turkey is the first and primary ingredient in these training treats. Turkey is a high-quality protein source that supports lean muscle maintenance, and it makes these treats an excellent chicken-free option for dogs with poultry sensitivities.

Q2: Are these treats suitable for dogs with chicken allergies or sensitivities?

Ans: Yes. These treats are completely free of chicken and poultry by-product meals, making them a suitable training reward for dogs that react adversely to chicken. Always check the full ingredient list and consult your vet if your dog has multiple known allergens.

Q3: How many calories are in each treat, and how many should be given per session?

Ans: Each treat contains approximately 4 calories. It is recommended to give 1–2 treats per training session and adjust based on your dog's size and activity level. Their low caloric content makes them well-suited for frequent, repeat rewards without significantly impacting daily intake.
