Treats rubric45 products scoredLast reviewed June 2026

Treats and chews, scored on honesty, not marketing.

A treat is a snack, not a meal, so we do not grade it like food. PetScored scores what the bag does not make obvious: whether the ingredient list is clean, whether calories are disclosed and sane, whether the claims hold up, and whether the brand has a clean recall record. The single biggest divide is dental: a "cleans teeth" claim earns credit only with a VOHC Seal of Acceptance, so a chew that says "clinically proven" without one scores like the marketing it is. 45 treats scored so far, 6 of them VOHC-backed.

What we refuse, and what we score elsewhere

We do not score everything in the treat aisle.

We refuse to score treats sold with explicit disease treatment, cure, or prevention claims (an unapproved drug claim, not a snack). Functional supplement chews dosed as supplements (joint, calming, probiotic soft chews with a Supplement Facts panel) are scored under the supplements rubric instead, where the evidence and the delivered dose carry the score.

Scores are our opinion under a published rubric, not veterinary advice. A treat is a snack, not a meal; keep treats to a small share of daily calories, and supervise any chew. Use is a decision for you and your veterinarian; see the medical disclaimer.
