(BPT) – Calling all dog lovers! The ultimate flavor competition is back — Battle of the Beggin’ 2025! This year, your furry friend gets to decide which of the two new limited-edition BBQ-inspired Beggin’ flavors will reign supreme and become a permanent Beggin’ flavor.
In one corner, we have five-time world barbecue champion Myron Mixon representing team Bacon & Beef Brisket. In the other corner, BBQ Hall of Famer Rodney Scott is championing team Bacon & Pork Spare Ribs. These legendary pitmasters are ready to go head-to-head to ensure their Beggin’ flavor wins!
This year’s Battle of the Beggin’ brings two mouthwatering, barbecue-inspired treats that will have your dogs barking for more. Made with real bacon, these treats bring flavors that humans love to their four-legged friends. But there can only be one winning flavor. Let the battle begin!
Team Bacon & Beef Brisket brings the rich taste of beef brisket, combined with smoky bacon goodness. Repped by the “winningest man in barbecue,” Mixon is a five-time barbecue World Champion who has won more than 180 barbecue grand championships and over 1,700 trophies. He originally took up competitive barbecuing to promote his family’s signature sauce. Mixon has appeared as a judge on the TV shows “BBQ Pitmasters,” “Smoked” and “BBQ Pit Wars.”
“There’s nothing quite like the joy of barbecuing. I take great pride in crafting deep, smoky flavors that unite people,” said Mixon. “With Beggin’s Bacon & Beef Brisket treats, you can extend that same delight to your dog. My dog Roxie absolutely loves the Beggin’ Bacon & Beef Brisket treat, and I know your dogs will too.”
The other flavor aiming to win your dog’s tastebuds is Bacon & Pork Spare Rib, which features the savory taste of pork spare ribs with a classic hickory-smoked aroma. It’s championed by pitmaster and restaurateur Rodney Scott, who has been cooking whole-hog barbecue over wood coals since he was 11 years old. In 2018, Scott was awarded the James Beard Foundation’s award for Outstanding Chef: Southeast. Rodney was also featured on the award-winning Netflix series “Chef’s Table,” and has been a judge on Food Network’s “BBQ Brawl” for five seasons.
“Barbecue isn’t just a cooking method; it’s a passion and a way of life for me,” said Scott. “There’s nothing like the satisfaction of creating rich, smoky flavors that bring people together. With Beggin’ Bacon & Pork Spare Ribs treats, you’ll be able to share that same love and joy with your furry friends.”
Let your dog be the judge and vote for their favorite Beggin’ flavor at BattleOfTheBeggin.com until Sept. 30, 2025. The winning flavor will become a permanent Beggin’ item, so make sure your pup’s favorite wins. Both of these tasty Battle of the Beggin’ flavors are available now at retailers nationwide.
