Lola is my first dog that will eat milk bone type treats, none of my other 4 would and her teeth are so much cleaner and her breath reflects that as well. Many here feel that milk bones have no nutritional value so the will not feed it to their dog as well, but I don't "feed it" it's given in very limited quantities as a treat. I do limit the time she chews on a bully stick because it is still a treat type of food. I only give it to her when in the same room and make sure I don't leave it on the floor if I have to go out. |
I agree. They may not be for all dogs, but for Rocco bully sticks are an absolute necessity. They keep his teeth very clean, as he is a ravenous chewer, but they also help him RELAX and get rid of excess energy. When we are out of bully sticks, no amount of walking or playing satisfies that craving to chew, so he gets very fresh - much like a toddler that hasn't napped or is hungry.
