‘Pretty Little Liars’ Alum Ashley Benson Tells Us How She Keeps Her Two Pups Healthy

Woman’s best friend! Ashley Benson’s workout routine has gone to the dogs. The Pretty Little Liars alum talked to Us Weekly on Tuesday, July 24, about getting fit with her two pooches ahead of the launch of SmartyPaws, a daily multivitamin supplement for canines.

Slim Down Secrets ... for Your Pet!

“I recently started getting back into pilates, which I am obsessed with,” the model, 28, dished of her go-to training. “I do Rumble, which is like a boxing cardio mix-up.”

Sometimes, however, it’s as simple as taking her Maltese Shih Tzu, Olive, 9, and her Brussels Griffon, Walter Gene, 4, for a walk. “When I go for walks [with the dogs] I go to the park and log in my miles,” she explained before attending the event held at NYC restaurant Boris & Horton. “When I do, [SmartyPaws] makes a donation to the Humane Society.”

The program, which runs from now through September in conjunction with app Charity Miles, sees the dog-centric company shelling out 50 cents for every two miles walked, up to $250,000.

It’s an added incentive for the actress: “I think it’s just getting up and doing it,” she said of getting motivated. “You just have to push yourself. I usually work out in the morning, so it’s done.”

Benson, who suffers from anxiety, said her fur babies have also made her more conscious of her mental well-being. “I am always paranoid, [like], are they OK, do they have anxiety?” she admitted.

To maintain peace of mind, she’s started giving both of her pets the SmartyPaws supplement, which comes in nine formulas for various dog breeds and sizes, and works to promote joint, gut and skin health, reduce allergies and boost immunity. “Being able to give them something helps reassure me. It’s so easy. It’s once a day … It’s adorable and comes in a pink package.”

For each box sold, the company also makes a donation to the Humane Society of the United States — an organization close to Benson’s heart. “I see so many dogs in shelters or on the streets and it breaks my heart. If I could adopt every dog on the street, I would.”

Being free of worry allows the Spring Breakers star to focus on other things — like her first-time directing credit in an upcoming episode of I. Marlene’s Pretty Little Liars spinoff, The Perfectionists. “I am super excited,” she said.

Also in the works, a role as punk rocker Roxie in Her Smell alongside Elisabeth Moss (“I admire [her] so much”) and Amber Heard, for which Benson took five months of guitar lessons. “It’s harder than I thought!”

Celebrities and Their Pets

And in the star’s free time? Puppy playdates with her former PLL cast mates — though she admits the size differences between their canines can be problematic. “My dogs are just so small,” she said. “Walter is like … he thinks that he’s bigger than the other dogs. It’s an issue.”

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
