Best Freeze Dried Dog Treats: How to Choose (2026)

Best freeze dried dog treats is a search a lot of people run before they know exactly what they want, so here is how to choose among ours. We make seven single ingredient freeze-dried treats in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and this guide walks through what is in each bag, what it costs by size, and how the seven compare to each other.

How we chose this list

Every pick below is a product we sell: one ingredient per bag, freeze-dried in small batches in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Nothing here is a paid placement or a partner product picked to round out a list. This guide covers our full current lineup of seven treats so a shopper comparing freeze dried options can see the complete set in one place, rather than a shortlist chosen to make the list look longer than what we actually carry.

Key considerations

A few things are worth checking on any freeze-dried treat before you buy. The ingredient line should list one item and nothing past it. Piece size affects how easily you can break a treat down for a smaller dog or a shorter training rep. Texture matters too: a piece that snaps cleanly apart is easier to portion than one that stays soft or crumbles into dust. Price per ounce is worth comparing across sizes, since a larger bag is not always the better per ounce deal, and the size and price for each option are listed on its own product page. Storage is simple across all seven: reseal the bag and keep it at room temperature. It also helps to know the seven do not all come from the same protein source: three are muscle or organ meat from cattle, one is poultry, one is fish, one is dairy, and the seasonal pick is also poultry, so rotating between them changes the protein source rather than repeating the same one under a different name.

In the Treats aisle

Here are all seven, one at a time, with sizes and prices as listed on each product page.

Freeze-Dried Beef Liver

100% beef liver, single ingredient, freeze-dried in small batches. Sized at 1.5, 3 or 6 ounces, priced at $15, $20 or $25. That works out to about $10.00 an ounce at the smallest size and about $4.17 an ounce at the largest. See the beef liver page.

Freeze-Dried Beef Heart

100% beef heart, single ingredient, freeze-dried in small batches. Sized at 1.5, 3 or 6 ounces, priced at $15, $20 or $25, the same per ounce range as the beef liver: about $10.00 down to about $4.17 an ounce depending on size. See the beef heart page.

Freeze-Dried Turkey Heart

100% turkey heart, single ingredient, freeze-dried in small batches, sized at 1.5 ounces. It is a seasonal size tied to Thanksgiving rather than a year-round item, so it is worth checking the product page for current availability before counting on it. See the turkey heart page.

Freeze-Dried Cheddar Cheese Bites

100% cheddar cheese, single ingredient, freeze-dried in small batches, one size at $15. It is the only cheese option on this list, and the only pick here that is not a meat or fish protein, which makes it the one to reach for if you are rotating flavors and want a break from the four proteins above it. See the cheddar cheese bites page.

Freeze-Dried Beef Tripe

100% beef tripe, single ingredient, freeze-dried in small batches. Sized at 1.5, 2 or 4 ounces, priced at $15, $20 or $25. Per ounce that runs from about $10.00 at the two smaller sizes to about $6.25 at the 4 ounce size. See the beef tripe page.

Freeze-Dried Whole Sardines

100% sardines, single ingredient, freeze-dried in small batches. Sized at 3 or 6 ounces, priced at $20 or $25, about $6.67 an ounce at the smaller size and about $4.17 an ounce at the larger one. See the sardines page.

Freeze-Dried Pink Salmon

100% Alaskan pink salmon, single ingredient, freeze-dried in small batches, one size at 1.5 ounces for $15, about $10.00 an ounce. See the pink salmon page.
