milk bones and green dentasticks? ok so big q. do people use those green 'dog tooth brush chew stick treats' for cleaning yorkie teeth between brushes? i found some smaller ones, but they seem awfully hard for a dog with such tiny teeth :/ also with two recalls and a giant chocking hazard warning on the front im really starting to wonder if they are actually safe :/ also are regular sized milk bones ok to give to a yorkie? i can't find any smaller ones but i don't know if they would be too big or too hard for a tiny puppy. |
If your talking about greenies I don't really trust them. Honestly a lot of people here dislike milk bones but my dog loved them and I would give a small chewy one to her every night for her go to bed treat. She liked to get the huge ones and carry them around for days lol. |
The ingredients of Milk Bones are not good. The dental ones have chicken by-products and artificial coloring, among other things I would rather not have my dog eat. Their regular product has "meat and bone meal" but from what animal? They must not know otherwise they would have stated it. Yuck! |
I'm not opposed to milk bones just not a fan of greenies. Greenies look plastic to me so I try to avoid things that look like plastic. |

Greenies had such a bad rap because dogs couldn't digest them. They changes the formula but I still don't give to my dogs. They are sticky and can choke easily. Milk bones imo are just extra calories I would rather not give. But JMO http://www.1800petmeds.com/images/pr...able-study.pdf |
greenies are not safe and the new milk bones for teeth brushing, dogs have had problems with. Chester does the cod skins and they are safe |
I haven't had issues with greenies except one dog may have a little GI issue from them. |
Jackson won't eat Greenies and I give him milk bones every so often. |
I gave my girls greenies 10 + years, never had any problems. Milk bones none of my girls were ever a fan of them. They LOVED Jerky treats. I give Cody Natural Balance limited ingredients treats only. All the treats I use to give my girls I won't give to Cody since joining YT scared the c!!p out of me. |
I give mine the original Milk Bone Dog Biscuits, LARGE size for Large dogs....they are called "cookies" around here and when I ask everyone if they want a cookie, half of them run to the cabinet in the kitchen where the large box is located...they love them! ANY treat or toy I buy for my dogs, I get the ones for LARGE dogs, so I dont have to worry about choking on little toys or chews/treats. I had ordered some from a little boy on Shark Tank...home made and everything....they liked them but they were tooooo small and I worried myself sick that someone was going to get the entire bone in their mouth and strangle. I do not like Greenies...one of my new owners gave Greenies and it caused GI BLEEDING because the dog did not digest them..... |
I gave my yorkies Greenies years ago but it quit giving letting them have them because they often threw up after eating them. For now I let them have the C.E.T chews I get from Revival Animal Health. What I highly recommend is a water additive called Voratene. It is an enzymatic brushless oral solution for dogs that freshens breath as it reduces plaque build-up on the dog's teeth. You just add a couple of squirts in their water each day. It is odorless and the dogs don't notice it in the water. I also buy it from RevivalAnimal.com. |
If it's for your dog's teeth. Best thing to do is brush them from the start. Is its to late wipe them down with a cotton swab. Takes a few months but they get use to it |
No more milk bones for us. I let my boys have them once a month when we went to the bank drive through. Max does okay with them, but Teddy had diarrhea from one on Friday. :( I will bring chicken to substitute in the future. |
