Fresh Is Best Freeze-Dried Raw Turkey Heart Nuggets Treats for Dogs and Cats

One of the only treats my dog has never stopped loving. Always in stock, easy to add to a subscription, and pup’s favorite.

My cats go NUTS over this! Love how it keeps my babies teeth nice and pearly white =]

I like Fresh Is Best products, and the turkey heart nuggets are nice - some big pieces in there for bigger dogs, some smaller pieces for smaller dogs, easy enough to break up for cats. But if you're planning on sticking a few in your pocket, you may want to think again. They're a bit greasy. I can recommend them for treat/bait bags, no problem. But for a less greasy treat, try the duck hearts. Those I can stick in my pocket without worrying. The chicken hearts may be the same, but I can't say for sure as my dog is allergic to chicken, so we don't get those.

I'm generally very careful about what I feed my cats, but I need to have "kitty crack" treats on hand for training, etc. I was using Greenies as the treat they would do anything for, but one of my cats developed an allergy to something in them and gets hotspots and gunky ears and eyes when he eats them. I needed to find a treat that I could keep on hand in my pockets (so nothing wet or requiring refrigeration) but that was as close to simple, pure meat as possible. Freeze dried meat/fish treats are easier to find these days than they used to be, but they're also usually very expensive. These turkey hearts are the most economical option I've found, and they're probably much more nutritious than regular muscle meat but don't pose problems with excess vitamins the way liver treats would (granted, not a big issue for occasional treats, but my cats did manage to get to the bag and eat up a whole bunch of them once, and I was glad then that it was hearts and not livers). Once you cut them into cat-bite-sized pieces, you end up with a lot of treats. Yes, they smell like dried meat and blood... because they're dried bird hearts. But the smell is much weaker and more tolerable than the overwhelming artificial fish stink most commercial cat treat manufacturers put in their treats.

My puppy loves these treats! He cant get enough of them. I use these for his training and he is so alert/ obedient when he smells these in my hand. Our trainer recommended this brand to us for their health benefits. It is a bit pricey so I like to break up each treat into smaller ones to make it last. I am hoping this company comes out with a larger bag of turkey hearts.
