What’s Actually in Our Treats (And Why It Matters)

When it comes to your dog’s health, what goes into their body matters just as much as what stays out. That’s why we believe you should never have to guess what’s in your pet’s treats—or why it’s there in the first place.

At TheDogBFF Barkerie, we keep things simple, intentional, and transparent. Every ingredient we use has a purpose. No fillers. No fluff. Just real food your dog’s body can recognize and benefit from.

Here’s what sets our treats apart—and why it should matter to you.

1. Real Ingredients You Can Actually Pronounce

If you need a chemistry degree to read the ingredient list on your dog’s treats, that’s a problem.

Our ingredient lists are short and simple—things you’d find in your own kitchen pantry:

• Oat flour
  
  
• Pumpkin puree
  
  
• Peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  
  
• Unsweetened applesauce
  
  
• Blueberries
  
  
• Eggs
  
  
• Coconut oil
  
  

Every one of these ingredients is recognizable, nourishing, and intentionally chosen for its health benefits.

2. No Artificial Anything

We don’t use artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. That means:

• No BHA or BHT
  
  
• No propylene glycol
  
  
• No Red 40, Yellow 5, or any synthetic dyes
  
  
• No vague “natural flavorings” or animal by-products
  
  

Your dog doesn’t need any of that—and neither do our recipes.

Because we bake in small batches, our treats don’t need to sit on store shelves for months. We let freshness, not chemicals, do the preserving.

3. Ingredient Integrity From Start to Finish

We don’t just pick ingredients based on trends—we choose them based on purpose.

Pumpkin helps support digestion.

Chia seeds are rich in omega-3s for healthy skin and coat.

Oats are gentle on sensitive stomachs.

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants to support your dog’s immune system.

These aren’t “extras”—they’re the foundation of everything we bake.

Why This Matters

Your dog’s body processes food differently than yours—but that doesn’t mean quality should be sacrificed.

Clean, limited-ingredient treats can help reduce:

• Allergic reactions
  
  
• Digestive upset
  
  
• Skin and coat issues
  
  
• Long-term inflammation
  
  

And most importantly, they help you feel confident in what you’re feeding your pet.

When you feed better, they feel better. It really is that simple.

A Promise in Every Bag

We believe every treat should reflect the care you have for your dog. That’s why we bake each batch by hand, using only the ingredients we’d feed our own pets.

No shortcuts. No compromises. Just clean, trustworthy treats that let you spoil your dog—without the guilt.
