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 Jiminy's Crunchy Treats Original Recipe

Eco-conscious owners and dogs with common protein sensitivities

Jiminy's is the most innovative treat in this comparison — cricket protein delivers complete amino acids with a fraction of the environmental impact of traditional meat. The novel protein is a genuine option for allergy-prone dogs. Not every dog will love the taste immediately, but the sustainability story and ingredient quality are compelling.

Strengths

  • Cricket protein is highly sustainable — 2,000x less water than beef production
  • Novel protein source ideal for dogs with common protein allergies
  • Clean ingredient list with no artificial preservatives or fillers

Limitations

  • Cricket protein is unfamiliar to most dog owners — adoption hurdle
  • Some dogs may reject the flavor profile initially
  • Smaller 5oz bag means higher cost per ounce
