Beneful Dry Food is Better than Ever
Beneful dry food has always been a favorite of mine and of my dogs, but now it’s even better than ever. Beneful listened to its customers, and for the past two years, they’ve been working to bring us better food with more natural ingredients and less of the stuff we don’t want. Right now, new and better varieties of Beneful dry food are rolling out, and by August, they’ll be available everywhere!
Beneful Dry Food – Working to be the Best
Beneful has always been a high quality food, but now they’re working towards being the absolute best Beneful ever. Because they’ve heard what owners want, they’re moving towards making real meat the first ingredient in their dry foods.
They’ve made the move to real beef and chicken as the first ingredients in those dry foods respectively, and they’re working through their distribution channels as you read this to make real salmon the number one ingredient in their salmon food as soon as possible. In addition to that, they’re taking out ingredients that we owners don’t want in our dogs’ food. There is now NO added sugar in any Beneful dry food.
New Beneful Dry Food Varieties
The new varieties of dry food from Beneful take nutrition to the next level by keeping it real – real meat, that is. I love that because I want my dogs to eat quality food just like I do. These four new varieties of dry food are how Beneful is taking its game to the next level, while still providing delicious food your dog will want to eat.
- Beneful IncrediBites with Real Chicken
- Beneful IncrediBites with Real Beef
- Beneful Originals with Real Chicken
- Beneful Originals with Real Beef
A Special Offer on Beneful Dry Food
Beneful is excited about its new move towards all natural ingredients. That’s why they’ve given us all a special offer on their new dry dog food. To be sure that everyone can try the new Beneful dry food, the company is offering consumers the chance to sign up for a free sample of Beneful’s new food! Simply follow this link to the new Beneful Dry Food page and order your sample. And don’t forget that Beneful would love to hear your thoughts on the new food via a review at Beneful.com.

A Dog Park for Every Dog with Beneful
The dog park is the place where both pets and owners get to interact with other people and animals who think and act like they do. Dog parks are a place where our pets can socialize and exercise, and where we can interact with other dog owners who appreciate the everyday aspects of owning dogs that other people don’t. The Beneful Dream Dog Park Project is all about making that experience a reality for more owners and their dogs.
The Benefits of Dog Parks
We love our dogs, and they always know we’re available for a game of fetch or tug of war. Sometimes, though, dogs need to be with other dogs. Just like parents need to interact with other parents while kids play at the park. Owners need to interact with each other while their dogs hang out. We all need to know that we’re understood by our peers. That same need goes for our dogs as well!
Exercise
Dog parks are an excellent place for exercise. I don’t know about you, but when my dog comes into contact with another pooch, the running only stops when cannot physically go on. With so may wagging tails and balls and toys flying around, it’s impossible for our dogs NOT to get in a good workout.
Mental Stimulation
All the playing at the park gets your dog’s mind working. The time you spend with your dog owner peers also gets your mind working too. It’s fun to stand around and talk about new and interesting things outside of your own life while your dog romps with other four legged buddies.
A Closer Bond
Trips to the dog park can also foster a closer bond between you and your pooch. Suddenly, going on a trip become something that your dog is absolutely nuts over, and it’s YOUR thing. It’s the thing that you and your dog do together. That’s an amazing feeling.
Beneful’s Goal – A Dog Park for Every Dog
Beneful recognizes the importance of dog parks to both dogs and their owners, and they see the need for more parks across America. There are so many owners out there who’d love to take advantage of a dog park if it were in their area.
That’s what the Beneful Dream Dog Park Project is all about. For the past five years, they’ve been helping build and/or improve dog parks across the country, working to make the joys of dog parks a reality for more dogs and their owners. This year, Beneful Dream Dog Park Project want to support a total 0f 12 parks through donations, service days, and other services of the like.
To help make this goal of a dog park for every dog a reality, Beneful has partnered with GoFundMe to help give dog park organizers a platform to create campaigns for their local dog parks, raise awareness and funds for improvement, and/or to help increase funding to help get a new park off the ground.
Beneful – Bringing Dog Parks to the Masses
The Beneful Dream Dog Park Project is working to do big things for the dog community, and you can, too. Visit the Beneful Dream Dog Park webpage for more information on how you can help get your own dog park started, material that can be used, dog park etiquette, and more. It’s an excellent resource from an amazing company working towards a worthy cause, so check it out.
