When to Choose Zuke's Mini Naturals Chicken Recipe

Trainers and active owners who need a low-calorie, high-value reward treat

Zuke's Mini Naturals are the gold standard for training treats — only 3 calories each, soft enough to eat quickly during sessions, and made with real chicken. The low-cal profile means you can reward frequently without guilt. The best training treat in this comparison.

Strengths

  • Only 3 calories per treat — ideal for frequent training sessions without overfeeding
  • Real chicken is the #1 ingredient with no corn, wheat, or soy
  • Small, soft, and easy to break apart for precise training rewards

Limitations

  • Soft texture means they can crumble and leave residue in pockets
  • Contains chickpea and tapioca starch as binding agents
  • Higher price per ounce compared to budget biscuit options

When to Choose GREENIES Original Regular Dental Chews

Owners who want a treat that doubles as proven dental care

Greenies are the most recognized dental treat for good reason — VOHC-accepted for plaque and tartar control with a shape dogs actually enjoy chewing. The calorie count and grain content are trade-offs, but no other treat in this comparison delivers the same level of dental benefit.

Strengths

  • VOHC-accepted for plaque and tartar control — clinically proven dental benefit
  • Unique toothbrush shape reaches back teeth for thorough cleaning
  • Highly palatable — most dogs treat these as a reward, not a chore

Limitations

  • Higher calorie count per chew (139 kcal for regular size) — not low-cal
  • Contains wheat flour and wheat gluten — not grain-free
  • Premium price per treat compared to standard biscuit options
