Milk-Bone biscuits are popular treats that provide canines with a crunchy, chewable snack. They’re particularly suitable for dogs who may be sensitive to wheat, beef and other common food sources.
Artificial preservatives help keep these treats free from spoilage and bacteria growth, providing essential calcium, other essential vitamins, and essential dietary components such as omega 3s. Plus they come in various sizes perfect for all breeds and diet needs – even small treats for puppies!

These mini treats are the ideal size and composition to provide effective training and rewards to your pet, with low calorie content and no artificial flavors or colors added.
Milk bones provide important nutrition, but they shouldn’t be the primary source for your dog’s diet. Eating too many milk bones could result in vitamin, mineral and amino acid deficiency if too few other food sources are consumed at once.
Preservatives found in milk bones have also been linked with cancers in laboratory rats; however, levels found in milk bones are significantly lower than what’s used in human food products. Furthermore, certain dogs may be allergic or intolerant of wheat flour and experience digestive upset, bloating or diarrhea after consuming these treats.
Vitamin D3
Milk bones make an ideal treat for dogs, offering both protein and carbs. While their ingredients are generally considered safe for most healthy pups, there have been concerns raised over BHA use as an artificial preservative in milk bones – a substance which protects fats from spoiling, but at high doses has been linked with cancers in laboratory rats.
Even so, many pet owners continue to feed their dog BHA-contaminated milk bones without realizing it. Your pup won’t become sick from low doses of BHA present in modern milk bones – just over time they may become less healthy than usual!
Puppies require vitamins to build strong bones. Puppies require more vitamin D than adults since it plays an essential role in skeletal calcification and parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulation, with milk bones serving as an excellent source of this essential nutrient. Unfortunately, some puppies may develop nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism due to insufficient diet or excessive supplementation which leads to elevated phosphorus levels in their bloodstream and leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism symptoms like excessive levels of phosphorus in their system.
Folic Acid
Milk bones may be popular dog treats, yet they don’t always meet all of a dog’s nutritional needs. If your canine has allergies to wheat or dairy products, or has dietary restrictions or you simply want to reduce calories consumption, there are numerous other treats that might better meet them.
Milk-Bone produces dental chews and small puppy biscuits in addition to milk bones, providing your dog with healthier choices without corn or wheat, such as low-calorie options designed specifically for smaller breeds or those with food allergies. Treats should comprise no more than 10% of your pup’s diet for best results – treats should serve as rewards for good behavior rather than regular meals!
Zinc Oxide
Zinc is an essential trace mineral essential to proper development and metabolism in all animals, providing for their overall development and wellbeing. Zinc can be found in many metal objects including nuts, bolts, zippers, jewelry pieces made with galvanized metal nails board game pieces as well as diaper rash creams that contain zinc oxide ointment containing this element if consumed accidentally resulting in zinc poisoning; additionally it’s often included as an over-the-counter cold and allergy medications as an ingredient.
There are various diseases linked to inadequate zinc status; it is sometimes unclear whether low zinc intake causes or contributes to illness. Therefore, it is essential that we implement an optimal supplementation strategy which meets legal responsibilities as well as nutritional needs of dogs.
Zinc biomarkers such as plasma MT-3 levels and mRNA expression of metallothionein-3 (MT-3) have been suggested as reliable indicators of zinc intake in dogs. However, its downregulation during injurious oxidative stress does not appear to improve response to different zinc supplement levels in homemade diets [139]. Likewise postweaning puppies showed no difference in response between different zinc supplement levels – suggesting plasma MT-3 is not an accurate representation of zinc intake for this species.
