Full Moon Chicken Strips: The Gold Standard for Human-Grade Dog Treats

PetsCareLab’s conclusion: Full Moon Chicken Strips are premium, human-grade jerky treats made from 100% USA-sourced chicken breast, earning a 4.8/5 rating for their incredible purity and appeal to all dog breeds, from teething puppies to seniors with sensitive stomachs.

Product Label Analysis: Traceability You Can Trust

When our team at Petscarelab looked at the bag, the first thing we noticed was the simplicity. These aren’t just “chicken flavored” snacks; they are made from 100% single-source white meat chicken breast. Full Moon works with family farmers and ranchers right here in the USA, ensuring the meat meets USDA standards for human consumption.

The processing is where this treat really shines. Instead of high-heat mass production that kills off nutrients, these strips are slow-cooked in small batches. By roasting and smoking the meat at lower temperatures, the brand preserves the natural protein structures and vitamins. There’s no “mystery meat” or “animal by-products” here—just the same stuff you’d pick up at a high-end grocery store.

Safety and Purity: No Hidden Nasties

We take safety seriously, and Full Moon passes our “clean kitchen” test with flighting colors. A major red flag in many jerky treats is the use of glycerin-free recipes, as glycerin can sometimes cause digestive upset. You won’t find a drop of it here.

These treats are completely free of chemical bleaching agents, artificial preservatives, and colors. Since they are made from whole muscle meat rather than pressed “kibble” shapes, there’s no risk of sharp, processed fragments that could hurt a pup’s throat. It’s about as close to “farm-to-bowl” as you can get in a resealable bag.

Sensory Appeal: The “Kitchen Smells Good” Test

You know that “stink” that usually hits your face when you open a bag of dog treats? It’s missing here. When you open a bag of Full Moon Chicken Strips, it actually smells like roasted chicken and an authentic smoky aroma.

Our research shows that dogs are immediately drawn to the authentic scent. Even the pickiest eaters—the ones who usually turn their noses up at dry biscuits—tend to perk up the moment the seal breaks. It’s a natural scent that won’t leave your hands smelling like a rendering plant after a training session.

Texture & Hardness Test: Chewy but Fair

Despite being a jerky-style treat, these strips aren’t rock-hard. We found them to be perfectly “leathery”—tough enough to give your dog a few seconds of chewing satisfaction, but easy enough for a human to tear into smaller pieces by hand.

• Senior Dogs: The texture is soft enough that older dogs with missing teeth can still enjoy them without a struggle.
• Small Breeds: Since they aren’t brittle, they don’t crumble into a mess of dust. You can easily break off a postage-stamp-sized piece for a Yorkie or a Chihuahua.
• Dental Benefit: The natural fibrous texture of the chicken breast provides a light scrubbing action against the teeth, though it’s more of a snack than a dedicated dental chew.

Value & Use Case: When to Reach for the Bag

At roughly $17.31 per pound, these definitely sit in the “high-end” category. You aren’t buying these to fill a bottomless treat jar for a 100-pound Lab who eats everything in sight. Instead, these are the perfect high-value reward. Use them for training a stubborn pup or as a special “goodnight” snack.

Because they are grain-free and low-calorie dog treats compared to many fatty biscuits, they’re a great choice for dogs watching their weight. The 1.5-pound bag is the sweet spot for value, lasting a single-dog household about a month if used as a daily reward.

Nutritional and Digestive Performance

With chicken as the primary ingredient and no fillers like corn, wheat, or soy, these treats are incredibly easy on the gut. Our tracking of pets using this product shows high gastrointestinal tolerance. Because there are no heavy dyes or artificial binders, you won’t see the “neon stools” often associated with cheaper brands. It’s pure protein, a bit of organic cane sugar for flavor, and rosemary for natural preservation—a recipe for regular, healthy bowel movements.
