Pros
- 90.8% chicken. Meat is the clear base.
- High protein. 30% protein with 5% fat.
- Carrot for flavour. 3% vegetables.
- Short recipe. Chicken, carrot and processing aids.
- Handy pack. 80 g is easy to take on walks.
- For training. A soft meaty treat that is easy to break up.
Cons and what to watch
- Sorbitol, glycerine and salt. They keep it soft and shelf-stable, but it is not "pure meat".
- The tartar claim. A soft treat is unlikely to replace tooth brushing.
- Chicken. Not suitable for dogs allergic to it.
- No amount in grams. "Once or several times a day" with no quantity.
Treats and teeth
The card says HAPPY FARM helps remove tartar and strengthen gums. In practice, soft meaty treats barely clean teeth: that takes regular brushing, special dental chews and vet check-ups. More in how to brush a dog's and cat's teeth.
How much to give
The card gives no exact amount. The general rule is that treats should not exceed 10% of the daily calorie intake. For a small dog that means a few pieces a day, for a large dog more. If you give many treats, reduce the main food, or your dog will start gaining weight. More in excess weight in dogs.
For training
A soft meaty treat is easy to cut into small pieces and give right after a completed command. The smaller the piece, the more repetitions you can do without overfeeding. Tips are in treats for dog training.
Safety
The manufacturer advises supervising your dog while it eats the treat: greedy dogs may swallow large pieces without chewing. Clean water should always be available. Keep the pack closed in a cool, dry place, away from children.
Other HAPPY FARM flavours
The series has other combinations, such as HAPPY FARM sweet potato with chicken, which has more vegetables and less protein. Chicken with carrot is the "meatiest" option for owners who want a protein-rich reward.
Who it suits
The treat suits dogs without a chicken allergy — for training, walks and rewards. Give it sparingly to dogs on a diet or prone to weight gain. Other snacks are in dog treats, and choosing chews is covered in chew treats for dogs.
Verdict
Croci HAPPY FARM chicken with carrot is a meaty treat with 90.8% chicken, 30% protein and 5% fat, handy for training. The downsides are the sorbitol, glycerine and salt in the recipe, a tartar claim that should not be taken literally, and no amount in grams on the card.
