A fun and exciting dog treat recipe competition in support of Service Dogs.

RSVP for a Watch Party

Bone AppéTREAT is Dogs for Better Lives’ annual signature fundraising event, created to raise awareness and critical support for our mission of training and placing expertly trained Service Dogs at no cost to those who need them. The event is a lively 75-minute live broadcast where five contestants from across the country compete in “human-grade” dog treat competition and viewers vote with their dollars to crown the Top Dog.

What began as a virtual gathering has grown into a nationwide celebration of community and impact. Bone AppéTREAT now connects supporters across the country—tuning in from home, attending hosted watch parties, or joining us in person as part of the live studio audience. Since 2023, the event has raised more than $460,000, fully funding nearly nine Dogs for Better Lives Service Dogs for individuals and communities who rely on them.
