I am Tara and this is Benson. We are the paws and hands at Benson’s Bowl! 🐾 —we’re so glad you’re here!

Let me introduce you to Benson, my 9-year-old Golden Retriever. He’s my first baby, my heart dog and the inspiration behind our brand. About 4-5 years ago, Benson started showing signs of trouble —he’d skip his kibble meals, go on hunger strikes, be lethargic and even had recurring ear infections, scaly skin and rough fur. It was a slow build-up of symptoms, but I knew we needed to find a way to help him feel better!

After countless vet visits and a lot of research, we switched Benson to a fresh diet under the guidance of a canine nutritionist. And you know what? It was life changing! 🌱

Over the next several months, Benson’s fur got shinier, his skin and ears healthier and his energy levels shot through the roof. At 9, he is now keeping up with his energetic 3-year-old GSD sister and is a competitve ball fetcher.

Feeding fresh wasnt always easy —it took a ton of time and dedication. We tried various commercially available fresh and raw dog foods, but they were usually ground into mush, making it hard to know what exactly we were feeding our dogs. Plus, they caused constipation and throw-ups (not fun). So we went back to cooking meals from scratch in our kitchen.

After years of research and hundreds of hours of cooking (dog) meals, I left my stable job to create Benson’s Bowl. Our goal is simple: to provide fresh, balanced and nutritious meals for all dogs. We worked with some of the most awesome veterinary nutritionists to develop our recipes and use human-grade meats, fresh veggies, fruits, essential minerals and oils. No fillers. No preservatives. Just real food.

We’re so excited to share Benson’s Bowl with you! Let’s help our dogs live long, healthy lives filled with energy and vitality. 🐶❤️
