Nextrition Tummy Treats: chicken or beef, and who they fit
Decide whether Nextrition Chicken or Beef Tummy Treats fit your dog by checking the $18.99 10 oz price, calories per treat, ingredients, the 10% treat rule and when to ask your vet first.
Nextrition Pet sells two soft dog treats under the "Tummy Treats" name: Chicken and Beef. They are marketed as gentle on the stomach, made in the USA, and with real meat as the first ingredient. The useful question is not "Are these healthier treats?" It is "Do I need a different treat at all, which flavor fits my dog, and how many can I give without unbalancing the diet?"
Checked: October 6, 2026. US prices, calorie figures, ingredients, subscribe discounts and shipping thresholds can change. Confirm the current product page and label before ordering.
The short answer
Buy Chicken Tummy Treats if you want a lower-calorie treat for training or frequent rewards (21 kcal per treat on the label). Buy Beef Tummy Treats if your dog already does well on beef and you give fewer, bigger rewards (32 kcal per treat). Skip both if your current treats agree with your dog and you have no reason to change. Ask your vet first if your dog has a diagnosed food allergy, diabetes, pancreatitis, a weight-loss plan, a prescription diet, or ongoing vomiting or diarrhea.
These are treats, not a meal. Nextrition labels them for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

"Gentle on the tummy" and "for sensitive stomachs" are the seller's claims. BarkOnTrack has not tested these treats, and a dog with a genuinely sensitive stomach needs a vet's plan, not just a different treat.
Chicken or beef?
| Your real situation | Better pick |
|---|---|
| Training sessions or many small rewards a day | Chicken: fewer calories per treat, so more rewards fit your dog's treat budget. You can also break treats into smaller pieces. |
| Dog is already on Nextrition Chicken Recipe or another chicken food that agrees with it | Chicken, to keep proteins consistent. |
| Dog does well on beef, or your vet has flagged chicken | Beef. Check the full label for other ingredients your vet wants avoided. |
| Small dog or a dog on a weight-loss plan | Chicken, in small pieces, counted against daily calories. Ask your vet for a calorie target. |
| Diagnosed food allergy or elimination diet in progress | Neither until your vet approves. Treats can break an elimination trial. |

Price snapshot
| Option | Price when checked | Rough cost per treat |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Tummy Treats, 10 oz | $18.99 one-time | ~$0.47 (about 40 treats) |
| Beef Tummy Treats, 10 oz | $18.99 one-time | ~$0.54 (about 35 treats) |
Treat counts are our arithmetic from the label calories (10 oz ≈ 283 g × kcal/kg ÷ kcal per treat), rounded. Actual piece counts vary by bag.
Nextrition markets subscribe-and-save at 10% off, which would put a bag near $17.09 if the discount applies to the list price. Free ground shipping starts at $30, so a single $18.99 bag does not qualify on its own. Two bags ($37.98), or a bag with a 4.5 lb food bag, does. A bag plus a $9.99 trial pack ($28.98) still falls just under the threshold.
How many treats per day?
Nextrition recommends the common 10% rule: no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories should come from treats. As an illustration only, a dog that needs about 600 kcal a day has a treat budget of about 60 kcal, which is roughly two to three Chicken treats or one to two Beef treats. Your dog's real calorie needs depend on weight, age, activity and health. Ask your vet if you are not sure.
Reduce meal portions slightly if you use a lot of treats in training, and count every treat source: chews, dental sticks, table scraps and toppers all add up.
Vet caveats
- Talk to your vet before adding any new treat if your dog has a prescription diet, diagnosed allergy, diabetes, pancreatitis, kidney disease or is on a weight-loss plan.
- Both recipes list dried honey. That is a source of sugar; ask your vet if your dog has diabetes or needs tight weight control.
- Introduce one new treat at a time, in small amounts, and watch stools for a few days. Do not start a new food, supplement or chew in the same window.
- A treat is not a treatment. Ongoing vomiting, diarrhea, blood in the stool, appetite loss or lethargy need a vet visit, whatever the bag says about tummies.
- Supervise chewing and break treats into pieces for small dogs or fast eaters.
BarkOnTrack has not independently tested palatability, digestibility, stool outcomes, calorie accuracy, shipping speed or customer service.
Frequently asked questions
Can Tummy Treats replace a meal?
No. Nextrition labels them for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Feed a complete-and-balanced food as the main diet.
Are they good for training?
Chicken is the more training-friendly pick because each treat has fewer calories, and the store markets it as "Training-Ready." Break them into small pieces to stretch a session.
Do they contain artificial colors or preservatives?
Nextrition's product FAQ says no. The label lists mixed tocopherols as the preservative.
Should I try the food too?
Only if you have a reason to switch food. If you do, see our Nextrition cold-pressed dog food guide, and change one thing at a time.
Will BarkOnTrack earn a commission if I buy?
Yes, if you use our shop links. That does not change the price you see at checkout. See our affiliate disclosure for the current merchant list.
