Beggin' Strips
Beggin' Strips are a type of dog treat manufactured by Nestlé Purina PetCare. These treats are designed to resemble strips of bacon, both in appearance and flavor, to appeal to dogs. Beggin' Strips are marketed with the slogan "Dogs Don't Know It's Not Bacon," emphasizing their bacon-like qualities.
History[edit | edit source]
Beggin' Strips were introduced in the early 1990s by Ralston Purina, which later became part of Nestlé Purina PetCare. The product quickly gained popularity due to its unique marketing and the appeal of its bacon-like flavor to dogs.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The primary ingredients in Beggin' Strips include corn, wheat flour, soybean meal, bacon, and various meat by-products. The treats also contain artificial flavors and colors to enhance their bacon-like appearance and taste.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
Beggin' Strips come in several varieties, including:
- Original Bacon Flavor
- Bacon & Cheese Flavor
- Bacon & Beef Flavor
- Bacon & Peanut Butter Flavor
Marketing[edit | edit source]
Beggin' Strips are known for their humorous and engaging advertising campaigns. One of the most notable commercials features a dog excitedly searching for the source of the bacon smell, only to discover it's Beggin' Strips. The tagline "Dogs Don't Know It's Not Bacon" has become synonymous with the brand.
Nutritional Information[edit | edit source]
While Beggin' Strips are a popular treat for dogs, they should be given in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Overconsumption can lead to obesity and other health issues in dogs. Pet owners are advised to follow the feeding guidelines provided on the packaging.
Controversies[edit | edit source]
There have been some concerns regarding the nutritional content and safety of Beggin' Strips. Critics argue that the treats contain too many artificial ingredients and preservatives, which may not be ideal for a dog's health. However, the product continues to be popular among pet owners.
