Beef Broth Buddy Budder Treat

Verified May 4, 2026

Dog · Treat All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a peanut butter–based dog treat paste made from unsalted peanuts with added beef broth and a touch of honey. It’s designed to be used in small amounts as a high-reward treat, stuffing for enrichment toys, or a tasty topper rather than a complete diet. The simple ingredient list can work well for many dogs who tolerate peanuts and beef.

KibbleLab Score
6.8 out of 10

This is a simple, peanut-butter treat with beef broth and honey that can be very useful for training, enrichment toys, or hiding pills. The ingredients are straightforward and provide a calorie-dense, high-fat reward, but it is not a complete food and should only be given in moderation. It’s best suited to healthy dogs at a normal weight who don’t have issues with fat intake, pancreatitis, or sensitivities to peanuts or beef.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very short, simple ingredient list (unsalted peanuts, beef broth, honey) with no artificial colors or preservatives.
  • Unsalted peanuts provide plant-based protein and healthy fats, making it a very palatable high-value reward for many dogs.
  • Paste texture makes it easy to use in lick mats, toys, or as a pill-hiding aid, which can reduce stress during care routines.
  • No wheat, soy, or dairy ingredients, which may help some dogs with those specific sensitivities.

Considerations

  • This is a calorie-dense, high-fat treat and should be fed sparingly, especially for dogs who are overweight or prone to pancreatitis.
  • Contains peanuts and beef, which can trigger food reactions in dogs with known allergies or intolerances to those ingredients.
  • Includes honey, which adds extra sugar and calories; not ideal in large amounts for dogs needing strict weight control or with certain metabolic conditions.
  • Not a complete and balanced diet, so it should only be a small part of the overall daily intake, with the main calories coming from a balanced dog food.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Peanut
Peanuts are used in pet foods and treats primarily as a palatability enhancer and concentrated source of plant-based protein, fats (mostly monounsaturated), calories, and small amounts of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E and niacin. They can provide tasty, energy-dense nutrition but should be used sparingly because their high fat content can contribute to pancreatitis in susceptible dogs, they can be contaminated with aflatoxins, may contain added salt or toxic sweeteners like xylitol, and whole nuts or shells can cause choking or gastrointestinal obstruction—peanuts are not appropriate as a staple in cat diets.
02
Beef Broth
Beef broth is commonly used in pet foods and toppers as a savory flavoring and moisture enhancer to boost palatability and encourage hydration, and depending on preparation can contribute small amounts of protein, minerals and gelatin-derived collagen. Care should be taken because commercial broths are often high in sodium and may contain added ingredients (onion, garlic, spices, preservatives or sweeteners) that can be harmful to dogs or cats, so choose low-sodium, pet-safe formulations and avoid if your pet has a beef allergy or sodium-sensitive condition.
03
Honey
Honey is used in pet foods and treats primarily as a natural sweetener and binder, supplying simple carbohydrates for quick energy but contributing negligible protein, fiber, or essential vitamins. Raw honey contains antioxidants and may have mild antimicrobial or prebiotic effects, but because it is high in sugar and can worsen obesity, dental disease, or diabetes—and may carry microbial contaminants—use should be limited (and avoided in very young or immunocompromised animals); consult your veterinarian before offering honey to pets, especially cats (which are obligate carnivores and gain little benefit) or diabetic animals.
