The philosophy of Just Because Dog Treats was to create treats that dogs with special needs will love. Even with strict diets and allergies, they can enjoy special treats. We make every treat from scratch, using the best ingredients. We don't use any added sugar, salt, wheat, coloring or artificial preservatives. We only use natural meat stock, oats and the finest ingredients for flavor.

The result is a treat that is SAFE for your "Special Need Dog". It will make their tails wag.

I rescued my Rottweiller from the Plainfield Humane Society in Plainfield NJ. He was abused from his previous owners and found to be malnourished and underweight. One attempt after another of trying variety of foods, we were still unsuccessful with Trigger holding his food down. After many tests and biopsy’s we found that he was allergic to wheat. Wheat free treats were hard to find, so there was only one solution, I had to make the treats myself.

My American Staffordshire Terrier was rescued from the Jersey Animal Coalition in South Orange, NJ. Emma was very much overweight. I was in search of a healthy treat that was low in fat, low in carbohydrates with natural ingredients. A treat without sorbitol. Again, I found myself in the kitchen.

My Cairn Terrier is 9 years old and is an insulin dependant diabetic. What she was allowed to eat was very limited. She would turn her nose up at many of the sugar free treats (for humans) that were on the market. After doing a lot of research I never found a true diabetic dog treat. I have found that the fat content was much to high for a dog with diabetes, and they contained sorbitol, which is a sugar alcohol.
