When to Choose Full Moon Chicken Jerky

Owners who want human-grade, transparent ingredients in a jerky format

Full Moon sets the standard for ingredient transparency — USDA human-grade chicken with minimal, readable ingredients. You can see and smell the quality. The jerky format is less convenient than pre-sized training treats, but the ingredient quality and safety record are top tier for the mid-range price.

Strengths

  • USDA-certified human-grade chicken — the only human-grade jerky in this comparison
  • Single protein source with minimal ingredients you can actually read
  • Made in the USA with full ingredient traceability

Limitations

  • Higher price per ounce than standard treats
  • Jerky strips need to be torn into smaller pieces for training use
  • Higher calorie density than small training treats

When to Choose Blue Buffalo BLUE Bits Chicken

Training sessions where you need a soft, flavorful treat without grains

Blue Buffalo BLUE Bits deliver a solid mid-range training treat — real chicken first, grain-free, and soft enough for quick consumption during training. Past brand recalls ding the safety score, but the current formula is clean. Good value at $12 for a 19oz bag.

Strengths

  • Real chicken as the first ingredient with DHA for brain health
  • Soft, moist texture that dogs find highly appealing
  • No poultry byproducts, corn, wheat, or soy

Limitations

  • Blue Buffalo has had past recalls affecting brand trust
  • Contains flaxseed which some dogs may have sensitivity to
  • Softer texture means shorter shelf life once opened
