Nutrition
Milk-Bone has been around for more than a century and, when given in moderation, should have no adverse effect on your dog’s health. These biscuits contain healthy ingredients with added vitamins and minerals.
Overfeeding Milk-Bones may lead to weight gain in dogs, putting them at increased risk for heart disease, diabetes and joint issues. Talk to your veterinarian about finding healthier treats with lower calorie counts that could work better for your pup!
Biscuits contain wheat flour and malted barley flour, both of which may cause digestive upset in dogs who are sensitive to gluten. Preservative butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) may also be an issue for many pet parents; luckily some brands of dog treats use natural, safer preservatives to keep their products fresh for your pup!
Health & Wellness
Milk bone gravy bones provide a good way to clean dogs’ teeth, helping prevent tartar buildup while freshening up their breath. Dry kibble is another treat known for cleansing canines’ teeth.
Dogs with allergies to wheat, beef or milk may experience adverse reactions when exposed to ingredients present in milk bones. Common reactions may include digestive upset, itchy skin or even airway inflammation.
Milk bones have been around for over 100 years, and are generally considered safe as long as they’re given in moderation to dogs. Unfortunately, however, pregnant or nursing dogs shouldn’t feed these as they contain high calories that could harm them during gestation or lactation; also BHA preservatives shouldn’t be consumed due to potential health concerns and therefore should be avoided altogether.
Training
Training with treats can be an effective way of strengthening the bond between you and your pup and showing them just how much love there is in between! Plus, it gives them an opportunity to practice new tricks or commands for an immediate reward that could last!
Milk-Bone has been making tails wag and mouths water since 1908. Now they offer an array of dog treats with various shapes, sizes, and flavors–from classic crunchy biscuits to tender chews–perfect for every good boy or girl!
Milk-Bones can be enjoyed as treats by dogs in moderation; however, they should not form the basis of your pup’s diet. Their high calorie content can contribute to obesity as well as put undue strain on joints and organs. Furthermore, Milk-Bones may not provide all of the essential vitamins your canine requires for good health.
