Full Moon Chicken Strips Review — Human‑Grade Chicken Jerky

intro

I buy a lot of treats. When a bag promises "human‑grade" chicken, small‑batch cooking, and simple ingredients, I pay attention — especially for training and everyday rewards. Full Moon Chicken Strips are the brand's human‑grade, US‑sourced chicken jerky that the listing says is slow cooked in small batches and free of glycerin and common fillers. In this review I’ll walk through what the product actually is, how it performs in real life, what to watch for on safety and fit, and who should consider these strips (or skip them).

What it is / first look

Full Moon Chicken Strips come in a 24‑ounce (1.5 pound) bag; the product dimensions listed are 3.5 x 8.8 x 12.5 inches. The brand markets these as human‑grade treats made in the United States from USDA‑approved, US‑sourced chicken. The listing highlights a small‑batch production method — slow cooking using smoking and roasting techniques — and states the treats contain simple, natural ingredients such as real chicken breast, organic cane sugar, and rosemary extract. The label also calls out that the treats are free from glycerin, corn, wheat, soy, grains and artificial preservatives or colors.

Packaging is a bag (the listing says Container Type: Bag). In hands‑on use and owner reports the bag is a zip‑style bag, so you can reclose it to preserve freshness — but I cover sealing and shelf life in the daily‑use section below.

In daily use

Feeding context: the listing gives an Age Range Description of "All Life Stages" and a Breed Recommendation of "All Breed Sizes," so these are positioned as suitable for puppies through seniors and for small to large breeds. The product form is "Stick," which is handy for training because sticks are easy to tear or cut into smaller pieces.

Training and behavior

For training I value a treat that’s palatable, breaks into predictable pieces, and delivers quickly when I need a high‑value reward. Full Moon Chicken Strips profile well here. The strips smell attractive to dogs and are meat‑forward in composition; they’re easy to break into smaller bits for rapid reinforcement during training sessions. Because the listing calls the product "human‑grade" and lists chicken as the primary ingredient, these make a compelling high‑value reward for food‑motivated dogs.

Everyday rewards and pocket carry

The stick form and bag size mean you can carry a few strips in your pocket on a walk. Pieces can be broken down for multiple rewards, which is handy for small dogs — owners commonly cut a strip into several pieces to stretch a bag. Keep in mind the listing does not specify the number of pieces per bag or the per‑piece weight, so portioning is something you’ll need to judge yourself.

Freshness and resealing

The listing identifies the package as a bag and the product description mentions finished treats coming from kitchen production; internal feedback notes that the bag includes a zip‑style reseal. That reseal helps, but several owners say treats will dry out if left unsealed, so I recommend always closing the bag after opening and noting the product’s Best Buy Date (the listing’s warranty description references a "Best Buy Date").

Materials & build quality

These are edible treats, not gear, so "build quality" maps to ingredient sourcing, manufacturing claims, and texture consistency.

Ingredient sourcing: Full Moon positions this product as made from USDA‑approved, human‑grade chicken breast raised on U.S. farms, and the product copy says the company works with family farmers and ranchers. The listing explicitly calls out that the treats are made in the United States from U.S.‑sourced chicken and that the chicken is antibiotic‑free.

Formulation and processing: the company says it slow cooks the strips in small batches using smoking and roasting to retain flavor and nutritional value. The ingredient examples shown in the listing include chicken (white meat breast), organic cane sugar, and rosemary extract. The listing also states the treats contain no glycerin and no common fillers such as corn, wheat, or soy.

Texture and consistency: owner feedback and the product description paint a picture of variable texture. Some bags are described as softer and pliable — useful as soft training treats or for dogs that prefer softer chews — while other descriptions note a drier, firmer jerky texture that is crunchy but still easy to break. That variability suggests batch‑to‑batch differences in moisture content, which is not unusual for slow‑cooked, small‑batch jerky products.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is my top concern, so I break this into ingredient/allergen signals, choking/digestibility, and handling/packaging notes.

Ingredient & allergen notes

According to the listing, the treats are made with simple, natural ingredients and are free from glycerin, corn, wheat, and soy. The product’s Allergen Information field explicitly lists the product as Soy Free. The company also markets the treats as human‑grade and USDA‑approved, which is a label that speaks to where they’re made and handled in terms of food‑safety practices. If your dog has specific ingredient sensitivities beyond the common fillers called out here, the listing does not provide a full, guaranteed allergen panel for every possible trigger, so check the full ingredient statement on the package and run it past a qualified professional if needed.

Choking and size

Stick form can be a choking risk for dogs that gulp large pieces or for some small dogs if you give an entire strip whole. The listing’s Breed Recommendation is "All Breed Sizes," but the listing does not specify per‑piece dimensions or hardness. In practice, many owners break strips into smaller pieces for small dogs or to use multiple rewards per strip. If your dog tends to inhale treats, tear a strip into several small pieces before handing it to them and always supervise while feeding.

Digestibility and diet considerations

The listing classifies the treats under "Animal Food Diet Type: special diet," which is an unusual designation for a snack item; that classification is what the product metadata lists, but it is not a substitute for professional health advice. The treats are marketed as high‑quality and meat‑heavy; that means they’re tasty, but as with any calorie‑dense snack you should factor them into your dog's daily intake. The listing does not provide calorie or guaranteed analysis information, so if your dog is on a weight‑controlled or therapeutic diet consult a qualified professional before making these a regular treat.

Packaging & storage safety

The listing's container type is "Bag," and owner feedback indicates a resealable zip style. Treats can dry if left unsealed. The listing also references a "Best Buy Date" in the warranty description; check that date on the bag and store opened bags sealed and in a cool, dry place.

Who this is for / who should skip

These strips are pitched as an all‑purpose, premium treat. Below I map that to specific pet profiles.

Best fits

• Picky eaters and food‑motivated dogs: The treats are meat‑forward and described as highly palatable; they generally perform well as high‑value rewards.
• Owners who want simple ingredients: If you prefer treats with recognizable ingredients, Full Moon markets these as made with simple, natural components and no glycerin, grains, corn, wheat, or soy.
• All life stages and breeds (per listing): The product metadata lists Age Range Description as "All Life Stages" and Breed Recommendation as "All Breed Sizes," so they’re positioned for puppies through seniors and all breed sizes — but always consult a professional for young puppies or dogs with special needs.
• People who prefer U.S. production: The listing emphasizes U.S. sourcing and that treats are made in the United States from USDA‑approved meat.

Who should skip or be cautious

• Dogs prone to gobbling or choking: Because the item is a stick that can be hard or soft depending on the batch, break pieces down for dogs that inhale treats or are small enough that a whole strip may be a hazard.
• Owners on a tight budget: Owner feedback repeatedly mentions price as a pain point; the product is widely viewed as higher‑priced relative to basic treats.
• Strict therapeutic or calorie‑restricted diets: The listing does not provide calorie or nutrient breakdowns, and although the brand promotes human‑grade chicken, you should check with a qualified professional before adding them regularly to a medical or weight‑management feeding plan.

Verdict

Full Moon Chicken Strips are an easy product to recommend if you want a meat‑forward, human‑grade jerky treat produced in the U.S. The packaging size and stick form make them flexible for training and everyday rewards, and the brand’s emphasis on simple ingredients and no common fillers is attractive for owners looking to avoid glycerin, grains, corn, wheat, or soy. In my experience (and echoing owner feedback), dogs find these strips highly palatable; they're an effective high‑value treat.

That said, there are two practical tradeoffs to watch: price and batch variability. Multiple owners have noted the treats are on the pricey side and that texture can vary between bags — some arrive softer, some dryer. Because the listing does not provide per‑piece size or calorie information, portion control is a homeowner judgment call, and dogs prone to gulping should receive smaller, supervised pieces.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the ingredient panel on the bag for any personal allergen concerns; the listing highlights chicken, organic cane sugar, and rosemary extract and states the product is free from glycerin and common fillers.
• Note the bag’s Best Buy Date (the listing references a Best Buy Date in the warranty description) and store opened bags sealed — owner feedback indicates they can dry out if left unsealed.
• If your dog gulps treats, plan to tear strips into small pieces: the listing gives no per‑piece dimensions and pieces can be large.
• Decide whether the premium positioning and U.S. sourcing align with your budget, since owner feedback repeatedly flags price as a downside.
• For dogs on medical or calorie‑restricted plans, consult a qualified professional before making these a regular treat; the listing does not provide calorie or guaranteed‑analysis details.

Bottom line: Full Moon Chicken Strips deliver on the human‑grade promise and are a dependable high‑value reward for many dogs. If you’re after simple ingredients and U.S. sourcing and don’t mind paying a bit more for that, they’re worth trying — just portion wisely and keep the bag sealed.
