Milk bones contain wheat, bone meal (a dry rendered product from (beef) tissues, including bone, exclusive of blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents”.

Here are the ingredients listed on the Pup-Peroni®: Dogs Just Know? website for the ‘Original Beef Flavor Pup-Peroni:
Beef, Meat by-Products, Soy Grits, Sugar, Liver, Salt, Propylene Glycol, Garlic Powder, Caramel Color, Natural Smoke Flavor, Potassium Sorbate (used as a preservative), Sodium Nitrite (for color retention), Red 40, BHA (used as a preservative), Onion Extract.
The highlighted ingredients explained further:
Meat by-Products. This is a rendered meat ingredient commonly used in ‘grocery store’ type pet foods and treats. The FDA determined this ingredient to be a probable source of pentobarbital, a lethal drug used to euthanize animals. Thus, this pet food/pet treat ingredient more than likely contains rendered euthanized animals and the lethal drug used to kill them.
Propylene Glycol. Known risk to cats and toxic to small children. Controversial ingredient in pet foods/pet treats.
Garlic Powder. Controversial ingredient; some dogs cannot tolerate garlic. Cousin to onions which is toxic to dogs.
Sodium Nitrite. Chemical used to destroy the botulism bacteria; linked to lung disease.
Caramel Color and Red 40. Science has shown common food colors are linked to tumors and cancer.
BHA. Scientifically linked to cancer.
Onion Extract. Onion is toxic to dogs.
