Why Bear Can't Get Enough of Our Chicken Tenders: A Healthy Dog Treat Made in Australia
02 June 2026· Courtney Trainor

Why Bear Can't Get Enough of Our Chicken Tenders: A Healthy Dog Treat Made in Australia

If you ask Bear, our Chief Taste Tester, what his favourite treat is, he doesn't hesitate. The moment he hears the bag open, he's at our feet, tail wagging, eyes locked on one thing: Highland Hounds Chicken Tenders.

As the dog who inspired Highland Hounds Pet Nutrition, Bear has sampled every product we've ever made. And while he takes his quality-control duties seriously, our Chicken Tenders have always been one of his all-time favourites.

What Makes Our Chicken Tenders Different?

Many dog treats on the market are packed with artificial preservatives, fillers, flavour enhancers, and ingredients that simply don't belong in a dog's diet.

At Highland Hounds Pet Nutrition, we believe treats should be just as nutritious as the meals we feed our dogs.

That's why our Chicken Tenders are made using premium Australian chicken and gently dehydrated to lock in natural flavour and nutrition. Nothing artificial. No fillers. No hidden nasties.

Just real chicken.

A High-Protein Dog Treat Your Dog Will Love

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for dogs. It helps support:

  • Lean muscle maintenance
  • Healthy skin and coat
  • Energy and vitality
  • Immune system function
  • Overall wellbeing

Our Chicken Tenders are naturally high in protein, making them an excellent reward for active dogs, growing puppies, and senior dogs who still deserve a delicious treat.

Because they're made from real chicken, they provide the flavour dogs instinctively crave.

Bear's Official Taste Test

Every Highland Hounds product must pass one very important test before it reaches our customers.

The Bear Test.

When we first developed our Chicken Tenders, Bear made his opinion clear immediately. One sniff was all it took.

Within seconds, the sample disappeared.

Since then, they've remained one of his most requested treats. Whether we're heading out for a walk, working on training, or simply rewarding good behaviour, Chicken Tenders are always a guaranteed success.

If Bear doesn't go absolutely wild for a product, it doesn't make the range.

Simple as that.

Perfect for Training and Everyday Rewards

One of the reasons dog owners love Chicken Tenders is their versatility.

They're ideal for:

  • Positive reinforcement training
  • Recall practice
  • Walk rewards
  • Enrichment activities
  • Treating your dog after a great day

Many customers also break the tenders into smaller pieces, creating a high-value training treat that dogs find irresistible.

Australian-Made Dog Treats You Can Trust

At Highland Hounds Pet Nutrition, everything we create is guided by the same principle that started our journey with Bear:

Feed dogs the way nature intended.

Our products are crafted in small batches in the Southern Highlands of NSW using carefully selected ingredients and a science-backed approach to canine nutrition.

We created Highland Hounds because we couldn't find food worthy of Bear.

Today, thousands of treats later, that mission hasn't changed.
