Dog treats
Freeze-dried beef heart dog treats
What is in the bag
One ingredient: beef heart. There is no second line on the ingredient list. The product data does not say where the beef comes from, so this page makes no claim about it. The only allergen to think about is the ingredient itself: this is beef, so skip it for a dog known to react to beef.
Our Beef Trio listing describes its bags, the heart included, as freeze dried raw. Handle it the way the FDA advises for raw pet food: wash your hands with soap and water afterward and clean anything the treats touched (FDA, Get the Facts! Raw Pet Food Diets can be Dangerous to You and Your Pet, opened 2026-10-16). More in raw, cooked or freeze-dried beef heart.
Heart is firm, and a piece breaks cleanly into smaller ones. It smells milder than liver, stays dry to the touch, and weighs little in a treat pouch. Our listing covers small, medium and large dogs, grown dogs and puppies; for a puppy, break the pieces extra small.
On our own scorecard it is a medium-sized piece with a crunch of 3 out of 5 and a training value of 5 out of 5. That is a brand rating from our scale, not an independent test.

The label does not give calories per bag. If you want a rough figure, it is arithmetic on the per-ounce number: about 113 kcal in the 1.5 ounce bag, about 226 in the 3 ounce bag and about 452 in the 6 ounce bag. Those are our multiplication, not extra label claims, and they assume the bag holds its labeled weight.

Feeding and storage
Treat or topper
Use it as a reward or crushed over a meal, never as the whole meal. Keep a water bowl filled and stay with your dog while it eats.
Break it small
Break pieces down for training, for small dogs and for puppies. Smaller pieces stretch a treat budget further.
Reseal and store
Press the seal shut each time and keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, no fridge required. Wash your hands once you are done handling it.
Beef heart or turkey heart
Sniff and Shift also freeze dries turkey heart, but only as a seasonal Thanksgiving batch, and between batches the store lists it as sold out. Beef heart is made all year in three sizes, so it is the one to build a routine around. For the bigger questions, read raw, cooked or freeze-dried beef heart or is beef heart good for dogs.
