Owners seeking a single-ingredient fish treat with omega-3 benefits and human-grade standards
The Honest Kitchen Ocean Chews deliver premium single-ingredient quality — 100% cod fish skins with omega-3 benefits and human-grade production. The transparency and safety record are exceptional. The fish smell and small bag size are the main compromises at this ultra-premium price point.
Strengths

- Rich in omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat health
- Human-grade production standards with full supply chain transparency
Limitations
- Strong fish smell that some owners find unpleasant
- Expensive per ounce — only 2.75oz per bag
- Crispy texture can be too hard for puppies or senior dogs with dental issues

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
