Freeze-Dried Beef Heart Dog Treats: Lean Single-Ingredient Protein

Freeze dried beef heart dog treats with one ingredient: beef heart, freeze dried in small batches in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Heart is firmer than liver and milder in smell; it snaps into small pieces for rapid rewards and holds its shape in a pouch. It comes in 1.5, 3 and 6 ounce bags, and ships from us.

Heart is firm. A piece snaps into smaller ones, so you can pay out rewards fast. It is also milder than liver, for dogs that find liver too rich. On our scorecard beef heart is a medium piece with 3 of 5 for crunch and 5 of 5 for training value, a high value reward by our own count.

Beef heart dog treats for training

Snap a piece in two, then in two again, and one piece has become a handful of rewards. The bits are dry and not greasy, and they are light in a pouch. We list beef heart for dogs of all sizes, adults and puppies. It also crumbles over kibble or a raw meal as a topper.

Beef heart or turkey heart

We make two hearts by the same method. Beef heart is the year-round one, in 1.5 ounce, 3 ounce and 6 ounce bags. Turkey heart is the Thanksgiving one: halved pieces, a single 1.5 ounce bag, and off the page when the batch sells out. If you want heart in the treat pouch every week, beef is the one to plan around.

Beef heart is made and shipped by Sniff and Shift in Malvern, Pennsylvania, in small batches. If you would rather not think about reordering, a recurring order handles it.
