Finding the right treats for your dog can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. The key is knowing which ingredients to look for and which ones to leave on the shelf. At Benji’s, every treat is made with 100% natural, homemade ingredients that keep your pup happy, healthy, and tail-waggingly satisfied.
🦴 Ingredients to Look For
When shopping for dog treats, choose simple, recognizable ingredients that provide both flavor and nutrition. Here are some of the wholesome options found in Benji’s treats:
All-Natural Peanut Butter: A favorite among dogs and a great source of healthy fats and protein.
Chicken & Beef Liver: Packed with iron, vitamins, and natural flavor — perfect for energy and muscle health.
Pumpkin: Gentle on digestion and rich in fiber, pumpkin supports a healthy tummy.
Cheddar Cheese: A tasty source of calcium and protein, used in moderation for a flavorful boost.
Each ingredient in Benji’s treats is chosen for its nutritional value and natural goodness — with no artificial additives or fillers, ever.
🚫 Ingredients to Avoid
Unfortunately, not all dog treats are made equal. Here are a few common culprits to steer clear of:
Artificial Preservatives and Colours
Look out for BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, and artificial dyes like Red 40. These additives may make treats last longer or look more appealing, but they don’t contribute to your dog’s well-being.Unidentified By-Products
Phrases like “meat by-product” or “animal meal” are vague and usually indicate low-quality ingredients. Instead, look for clearly named sources like “chicken meal” or “beef liver.”Added Sugars, Corn Syrup, or Excess Salt
Sweeteners and salts can contribute to weight gain, dental issues, and other long-term health problems. Dogs don’t need sugar in their diet — their treats should be wholesome, not candy-coated.
🐶 Choosing What’s Best for Your Dog
Healthy dog treats don’t just reward good behavior — they support your dog’s overall well-being. By choosing treats made with real, natural ingredients like those in Benji’s recipes, you’re giving your pet the kind of nutrition they deserve.
Because when it comes to your dog’s health, simple and natural is always best.
