"If you want high-quality treats and innovative gear from people who truly care, Chews By Charli is the gold standard."
My Experiance With Chews By Charli
It is rare to find a small business that hits the mark on both nutrition and enrichment gear. From the start, the people behind the brand have been so supportive and genuinely invested in my dogs' well-being. It’s more than just a shop; it’s a brand built by true dog lovers.
Why I Recommend Chews By Charli
I recommend them to every dog owner I meet for three main reasons:
Trustworthy Ingredients: In an industry full of hidden additives, their commitment to no added nasties and human-grade quality is refreshing. I can reward my dogs without worrying about their health.
Training Essentials: Their 3D-printed scent work canisters are a staple in our house. They are durable, functional, and easily the best sets we’ve used for nosework.
The Dog Verdict: At the end of the day, my dogs are the toughest critics, and they go absolutely wild for these treats!
About Chews By Charli
Chews by Charli wasn’t planned. It grew out of worry, frustration, and a whole lot of love.
We brought Charli home in 2021 — a COVID puppy, just like the dogs of two of my closest friends. From the start, food was hard. Charli wasn’t interested in most things, and worse, she was making herself sick through food refusal. Every meal felt like a battle, and every treat came with the same question: is this actually good for her?
I started paying closer attention to what was in commercial dog treats. The ingredient lists were long, confusing, and expensive — and I realised I was trusting packaging more than my instincts. That didn’t sit right.
So I tried something simple.
I bought a small home dehydrator and started making my own treats. Just single-ingredient proteins. No fillers. No additives. Nothing unnecessary. And Charli ate them. Happily. Consistently. Safely.
That was the moment everything changed.
Chews by Charli was born around one very honest rule: I only make treats Charli herself will eat. (Hence the name — Chosen by Charli.)
Friends started asking for them. Then friends of friends. Once dog parks reopened, I met people who felt exactly the same way — owners who were tired of guessing, tired of waste, tired of wondering if “treats” were actually doing harm.
What started in my kitchen slowly became something bigger.
A commercial dehydrator. A proper meat slicer. And most recently, a freeze dryer — made possible by an incredible friend who believed in me before I fully believed in myself.
Today, Chews by Charli makes single-protein, human-grade treats in small batches. Nothing fancy. Nothing hidden. Just honest food, made carefully, for dogs we love.
This isn’t about trends or scaling fast.
It’s about trust.
Because our dogs rely on us to make good choices for them — and once you’ve really thought about that, it’s hard to do anything halfway.
Charli reminds me of that every day.
