When to Choose Rachael Ray Nutrish Savory Roasters Chicken
Budget shoppers who want real chicken as the primary ingredient without artificial additives
Rachael Ray Nutrish Savory Roasters punch above their price point — real chicken first, no artificial additives, and a slow-roasted texture that dogs go crazy for. The added sugar and grain base keep it from premium territory, but for under $10 this is strong value.
Strengths
- Real chicken is the #1 ingredient — no poultry byproducts or fillers
- No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives
- Slow-roasted texture dogs find highly appealing
Limitations
- Contains added sugar (cane molasses) for flavor enhancement
- Not grain-free — includes wheat flour and ground corn
- Softer texture does not provide dental benefit like crunchy 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
