Overview
A single-ingredient freeze-dried treat made from duck heart, from Shepherd Boy Farms, sold in a 3 oz bag and marketed for both dogs and cats.
Being single ingredient and freeze dried, this treat is aimed at owners feeding a limited-ingredient or raw-adjacent diet, since duck heart naturally carries taurine and B vitamins without any added fillers. The freeze-drying process is what lets a single organ meat be sold as a shelf-stable treat rather than requiring refrigeration.
- 3 oz bag, duck heart

- No added antibiotics, hormones, or artificial colors
- Suitable for both cats and dogs
Who it's for
Owners feeding a raw or limited-ingredient diet who want a single-protein treat free of additives, or anyone looking for a high-protein training treat. Works for both dogs and cats.
