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 Old Mother Hubbard Classic Original Mix

Budget-conscious owners who want a simple, no-nonsense everyday biscuit

Old Mother Hubbard delivers a straightforward oven-baked biscuit with recognizable ingredients at an unbeatable price. The crunchy texture provides mild dental benefit, though the wheat and corn base means it is not ideal for grain-sensitive dogs. A solid everyday treat for the price.

Strengths

  • Simple, recognizable ingredients with no artificial preservatives or colors
  • Oven-baked crunchy texture helps with dental maintenance
  • Excellent value at under $9 for a 20oz bag

Limitations

  • Contains wheat flour and corn meal — not grain-free
  • Higher calorie density per biscuit than soft training treats
  • Limited protein variety in the original mix formula
