The Truth About Fillers in Dog Treats: What You Need to Know

Abbie Drinkwater

When it comes to keeping your dog happy and healthy, the treats you choose play a bigger role than you might think. While some dog treats claim to be "nutritious" or "wholesome," many are packed with fillers and additives that offer little to no benefit to your furry friend. At Soopa, we believe your pup deserves better. That’s why our treats are clean, natural, and free from the junk that’s hiding in so many products on the market.

Let’s take a closer look at fillers, why they’re used, and why Soopa says, “Nope, not for our treats!"

What Are Fillers in Dog Treats?

Fillers are low-cost ingredients used to bulk up pet food and treats without adding nutritional value. They may make treats cheaper to produce, but they’re not doing your dog any favours. Common fillers include:

  • Corn: Often genetically modified and hard for dogs to digest.
  • Soy: A cheap protein substitute that can cause allergies.
  • Wheat: A common filler linked to sensitivities in some dogs.

While these fillers may make treats look big and appealing, they often lack essential nutrients and can lead to issues like weight gain, allergies, and poor digestion.

Why Do Some Brands Use Fillers?

It all comes down to cost. Fillers are inexpensive and can make treats look more substantial while allowing brands to cut corners. But at what cost to your dog’s health? Filler-packed treats may lack the vitamins, minerals, and natural goodness your pup needs to thrive.

Soopa’s Approach: No Fillers, Just the Good Stuff

At Soopa, we believe treats should be as clean and wholesome as the food we’d want for ourselves. That’s why we take a no-compromise approach to our ingredients. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. 100% Natural Ingredients

Every Soopa treat is made from real fruits, vegetables, and superfoods you can actually recognise—no mystery ingredients here!

2. Hypoallergenic and Healthy

Free from common allergens like wheat, corn, and soy, our treats are gentle on sensitive tummies and perfect for pups with dietary restrictions.

3. Functional Nutrition

Ingredients like banana, carrot, and sweet potato aren’t just tasty; they’re packed with nutrients that support digestion, energy, and overall well-being.

Why Fillers Are Bad for Your Dog

Choosing treats without fillers isn’t just a matter of preference; it’s essential for your dog’s health. Here’s why avoiding fillers matters:

  • Digestive Health: Fillers can be hard for dogs to digest, leading to bloating, discomfort, and irregularity.
  • Weight Management: Low-quality fillers are often high in empty calories, contributing to weight gain.
  • Allergy-Friendly: Fillers like soy and wheat are common allergens that can cause itching, rashes, and tummy troubles.

When you choose Soopa, you’re choosing a treat that works with your dog’s body, not against it.
