Reviews on Milk Bones? Good afternoon everyone, I have a question for people who have the milk bone treats. Would you recommend them? I have been thinking about buying them, but after all the recalls on treats, I'm not so sure anymore :confused: If you have Milk bones, can you please comment below and tell me what you think of them? Your opinion will be very helpful!:) |
Milk Bones I have used Milk Bones for treats for years with no problems. One of the safer treats I think. Julia |
There are a lot of people who will say they are junk but Callie gets a chewy one every night at bed time. |
I personally wouldn't. Ever since I discovered some Milk Bones have what is simply listed as "meat" as an ingredient, I vowed my girls would never get even another taste of one as a special treat when a well-meaning person offered something up to them. One of my pup's health issues would prohibit it these days anyway, but the bottom line is anything with simply "meat" listed as an ingredient MAY contain euthanized cats and dogs from animal shelters as a protein source. Horrifying doesn't even begin to cover my feelings on this, not a risk I'm personally willing to take. I encourage you to do your own research too. I've pasted an excerpt below from: Where?s the Beef? Why your dog should never eat another Milk-Bone or Beggin Strip, and you should avoid the Slim Jims. | Dirty Popcorn. Quote:
Cocotherapy also makes some good training treats too. I personally like the Fruit Crunch, Veggie Crunch, and Five Star Organic treats (only one calorie each). :) CocoTherapy Fruit Crunch Dog Treats, 100% Fruit Treats for Dogs, Coconut Oil Pet Treats Cocotherapy Veggie Crunch Dog Treats Coconut Gingered Pumpkin Five Star Organic Dog Treats by Cocotherapy Coconut Banana Five Star Organic Dog Treats by Cocotherapy. All the Cocotherapy treats are USDA certified organic and people can (and do) eat them too. As far as "dog food" treats, I like the Stella & Chewy's Carnivore Kisses, but these days with the limitations on one of my girls I stick with the fruits and veggies primarily, and I love knowing it is literally human-grade food in there. Even the best pet foods, don't have many ingredients fit for human consumption in them. |
morgan eats yorkie yummies// ordered them from foxy pups |
I love Milk Bones...I get the large ones for all my Yorkies, because I do not want them getting an entire little bone in their mouth/throat. These are known as "cookies" at my house! At bedtime, I holler out, "Who wants a cookie???" and they all run to the pantry door, where I keep the "cookies"!!! I also do all my own dehydrated treats/snacks, and I recently saw on Shark Tank a young man that has started his little dog bisquit business...Ryan's Barkery (www.ryansbarkery.com)....and I ordered some of his home made treats....they are all human grade...you can eat them actually, but they do not have enough sugar in them for MY sweet tooth!!!, but they are great for the dogs and the pups love them....MY problem with them is their size! I am terrified they are too small and pups may get choked on them, so I break them up and hand feed them.....but they taste great and the babies love them!!! But to answer your question, I like Milk Bone Bisquits! |

Eh, Milk Bones don't bother me too much. I mean, they shouldn't be a big part of any dogs diet, so as long as they're just getting a few here and then, I don't see the harm. Moderation -- just like people. Jackson gets a few when he visits my dads house. They also have the 'Healthy Favorites' line now http://www.milkbone.com/products/hea...ithrealchicken |
I don't let my two have these. Why bother when you can give them healthier and safer treats? |
Thank you so much for the reviews reviews! I have read all your replies and I still haven't decided if I should purchase the bones or not:confused: |
I'm not a huge fan of milk bones because they don't do much for them nutritionally, but I will occasionally let them have one. Mine a treat snobs, they prefer my homemade versions to anything store bought. |
Lola gets one a day, I don't worry because she eats plenty of her good dog food and has no stomach problems. She is my first dog ever to eat a milk bone type of product and her teeth are the best of any dog I have had, at almost three she does not have a spec of tartar and I attribute a lot of that to chewing on those type of bones. I do mix up the brands some are the milk bone brand and I have gotten others from Bill Jack as well. |
Coco doesn't get milk bones but on rare occasions. Not that I think they are all bad but because I have found some things that I believe are so much better for her. She gets Wellness Bars that are apple, yogurt and banana and she gets Blue Stix that are lamb and apples, Blue Bars that are blueberry and yogurt and Fruitables Skinny Minis pumpkin and mango flavored. She absolutely loves all of these but her most favorite that she will knock down walls for is the Blue Stix:D |
Nope. Garbage food. Yorkies are small. I only put good food in. Never feed my kids McDonalds for dinner either. I tend to eat well. JMO |
