Yes, dog treats containing cooked, peeled chestnuts are generally safe to buy and feed. Chestnuts are one of the lower-fat nuts, making them a better choice than treats with walnuts or macadamias, which are toxic. Always check the full ingredient list to ensure the treat isn't also high in sugar, salt, or artificial additives. As with any new treat, introduce it slowly and watch for any signs of stomach upset, calling your own vet if anything seems off.
