CountryPet Naturals freeze-dried lamb lung treats are a single-ingredient reward option. Before offering them, check the product’s nutritional information, portion guidance and handling instructions. This guide explains the manufacturer’s published details, shows how to calculate treat calories and identifies questions to ask about suitability for your dog.
What Are Country Pet Naturals Freeze Dried Lamb Lung Dog Treats?
CountryPet Naturals markets these treats as a single-ingredient product made from New Zealand lamb lung. The manufacturer describes freeze-drying followed by a gentle heat treatment. Its product page lists a 1.8 oz bag; check the package size and current label when shopping.
Use the manufacturer’s product information to check ingredients, nutritional analysis, serving guidance and handling instructions. This article explains those details but does not report independent testing or a feeding trial. Freeze-dried processing and a short ingredient list do not, by themselves, establish that the treats are healthier than other options or suitable for every dog.
What the manufacturer’s nutritional information tells you
CountryPet Naturals lists New Zealand lamb lung as the single ingredient in this product. Its published guaranteed analysis states a minimum of 70% crude protein and 5% crude fat, with maximums of 3% crude fibre and 5% moisture. Check your current package for any changes.
These figures describe the treat’s declared composition. A minimum fat percentage is not a maximum, so it should not be used to promise suitability for a dog requiring a restricted-fat diet. Ask your veterinarian about the exact product if your dog has dietary restrictions.
The manufacturer lists an energy content of 4,000 kcal per kilogram, equivalent to 4 kcal per gram. For example, a weighed 3 g portion would contain approximately 12 kcal using that figure. This is a calculation example, not a recommended daily serving.
These treats supplement your dog’s regular diet; they are not a complete meal. Count them alongside other treats and toppers when planning daily food intake. The product information reviewed does not establish a plaque- or tartar-reduction benefit, so do not use these treats as a substitute for your dog’s dental-care plan.
Handling freeze-dried lamb lung treats
CountryPet describes this product as raw lamb lung that is freeze-dried, followed by a gentle heat treatment for food safety. The company still advises keeping it separate from other food and washing hands and surfaces after handling. Follow the instructions on your current package.
Before training, place the portion you intend to use in a separate treat pouch or container. Avoid handling human food while distributing treats, and clean any utensils or surfaces used to divide them. The manufacturer states that these treats are not for human consumption.
Freeze-drying alone should not be treated as proof that a product is free from pathogens or suitable for every dog. If you have questions about its processing or suitability for your household, ask the manufacturer and your veterinarian.
Plan portions before a training session
Check the current package’s serving guidance and account for other treats your dog receives that day. If you need a specific calorie allowance, ask your veterinarian to help set one.
Weigh the portion you plan to use before starting. Using the manufacturer’s published figure of 4 kcal per gram, a hypothetical 5 g portion contains approximately 20 kcal. Breaking it into smaller rewards changes the number of pieces, but not the total calories.
For example, during a short session practising “sit,” offer one manageable piece after each successful attempt. Stop when the planned portion is used rather than repeatedly refilling the pouch. Adjust the size of the rewards to your dog’s ability to chew and swallow comfortably.
Offer treats individually and supervise. Keep a note of the quantity used, especially when several household members train or reward the same dog.
Check suitability before offering the treats
A single-ingredient treat is not automatically suitable for every puppy, senior dog or dog with food sensitivities. Check whether lamb is appropriate for your dog and whether their current diet allows additional treats.
If your dog follows a prescribed diet, an elimination-diet trial or a restricted-fat feeding plan, ask your veterinarian before introducing this product. Even a small reward can introduce an ingredient that conflicts with the plan.
Consider how your dog eats treats. Choose manageable pieces and supervise each offering. Supervision helps you notice problems but does not eliminate choking risk. Stop using the product and seek veterinary advice if your dog has difficulty swallowing or develops concerning symptoms.
Count rewards and toppers together
If you use these treats during training and crumble some over a meal, count both amounts towards the same daily treat allowance. A topper still contributes calories even when it is served in the food bowl.
Agree on the planned amount with everyone who feeds your dog. Set aside that portion so rewards from different household members do not add up unnoticed. Keep the regular diet as the main source of nutrition and follow any feeding restrictions your veterinarian has provided.
Storage Tips
To maintain freshness and crunchiness:
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Keep in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade nutrients.
Conclusion
Choose treats using the current label, your dog’s dietary needs and how comfortably they can eat the pieces. CountryPet’s lamb lung treats supplement a regular diet; they do not replace a complete food or a dental-care plan.
Measure the amount used, include it alongside other rewards and follow the manufacturer’s handling instructions. Ask your veterinarian before introducing the treats if your dog follows a special diet or has a relevant health concern.
