At Good Boy Billie, we believe that if it’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough for our dogs. That’s why Billie Bites are crafted with simple, honest ingredients you can recognize and trust. Every single one has a purpose, from nutrition to flavor to freshness, so your pup gets a treat that’s as good for them as it is delicious.

That’s why Billie Bites are made with only 8 simple ingredients. Each one chosen with care, and each one serving a real purpose. No fillers, no confusing labels, and nothing to hide.

 Because here’s the truth: knowledge is power when it comes to your dog’s health. When you understand what goes into their treats, you can feel confident that you’re giving them something safe, nutritious, and made with love.

Let’s break down each ingredient one by one so you can see exactly why we chose it, and how it helps keep your pup happy and healthy. 

Ingredient #1: Chicken

Chicken is our primary protein source and the star of Billie Bites' savory flavor.

Health Benefits:

• High in lean protein to support strong muscles and boundless energy.
• Packed with essential amino acids that help with growth, repair, and overall health.

Ingredient #2: Apple

Apples are a safe, pup-friendly snack. In Billie Bites, it offers a naturally sweet and refreshing flavor your pup will love. 

Health Benefits:

• A great source of fiber to aid digestion.
• Vitamins A and C help boost the immune system.
• Full of antioxidants to help fight free radicals (unstable molecules that can build up in the body) and keep your dog feeling their best.

Ingredient #3: Rosemary Extract

Rosemary extract is a natural, dog-safe preservative. Billie Bites have no artificial preservatives. Rosemary extract is a natural way to keep Billie Bites fresh and safe to enjoy.

Common types of artificial preservatives in dog treats and kibble include BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin. These are synthetic preservatives used to extend shelf life and prevent fat from going rancid. However, long-term use of these artificial preservatives has been linked to health risks in dogs.

BHA & BHT have been linked to liver and kidney problems, and they are considered possible carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) in high doses.

Ethoxyquin has been associated with allergic reactions, skin issues, and organ damage in dogs.

Dogs eat treats and kibble regularly, so even small amounts of artificial preservatives can build up over time. Potentially leading to health problems. 

This is why it was important for Billie Bites to have a natural preservative, rosemary extract, to keep the treats safe without the long-term risks.

Health Benefits:

• Rosemary is rich in antioxidants.
• Supports brain and heart health while reducing inflammation.
• It's a small, but powerful and natural addition to your pup's treat!

Ingredient #4: Smoked Flavoring

Smoked flavoring is used to give Billie Bites that irresistible aroma and flavor that dog's can't resist.

There aren't any specific health benefits from smoked flavoring. However, it adds aroma and palatability so pups stay excited for their treat. This makes Billie Bites perfect for training or bonding time!

Ingredient #5: Rice Flour

Rice flour is made by finely grinding whole rice grains. It's naturally gluten-free and very gentle on digestion. In Billie Bites, rice flour acts as a binder. Holding the treat together without needing harsh fillers. It provides a natural base that lets the flavors of other ingredients shine.

Health Benefits:

• A gentle carbohydrate source that is easy to digest and provides quick energy.
• Especially good for pups with sensitive stomachs.

Ingredient #6: Honey

Honey is a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer.

Health Benefits:

• Contains trace vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Honey can even help with seasonal allergy relief and support a strong immune system.

Ingredient #7: Glycerin

Glycerin is used to keep Billie Bites chewy and moist (because no pup wants a stale treat). Glycerin is not a filler, and it doesn't replace nutrients. It simply preserves the moisture and chewiness, while being safe and plant-derived.

Health Benefits: 

• Safe and plant-derived
• Glycerin helps Billie Bites maintain a soft texture, making treats easy to chew for dogs of all ages.

Ingredient #8: Cultured Whey

Cultured whey is made from milk, but it’s fermented like yogurt so it’s easier to digest. It adds probiotics that support your dog’s gut health, digestion, and immune system. Think of it as a natural boost for a happy, healthy tummy. 

We use cultured whey in Billie Bites to add nutritional value and support digestion.

Health Benefits:

• A natural source of probiotics.
• Promotes gut health and strengthens the immune system, helping your dog feel good from the inside out.
