Milk-Bone Original Dog Biscuits: Dog Food Review

The only reason Milk-Bones landed in our home was because they were a steal at a local Costcos. $8 for a 10 pound box. We figured there would be no treat that came even close to that when it came to price.

We heaved the huge box into our over sized cart and headed out the door. You see in our home there are 11 dogs. These dogs for the most part are all picky eaters, so the milk-bones were not for these dogs. The milk-bones were for our newest member Bully. We have been training him with treats, and no matter what the treat is, the dog has no problem chowing down.

The box read:
The hard crunchy texture of Milk-bone Original can help clean the teeth and freshen breath. As your dog chews, Milk-bone Original Biscuits help remove residual food particles from your dog's teeth, thereby helping freshen breath.

It all sounded great, and for the price why not?

MILK-BONE ORIGINAL BISCUIT IN MEDIUM:

I remembered milk-bones right when I opened the box, and I also quickly remembered why we stopped buying them many years ago. They looked and smelled disgusting. The bone is in a cute dog bone shape with an old dehydrated brown look to it. The things just didn't look healthy. They smelled like cardboard, and I wondered if even Bully would eat them. Bully is like Mikey, 'he'll eat anything', but by the looks and scent of these milk-bones I wasn't so sure.

"Bully sit"

Bully will run up to you, sit, and then wait to be told to do a trick such as lay down or give paw. He did his trick with ease, and I handed him a milker.
"Chomp, chomp, chomp'. The medium sized bone was gone in 60 seconds. I was even surprised, he's not that big a dog yet, so seeing how quickly he swallowed the bone was pretty scary. He then got up, and sat, waiting to be told to do another trick so he could have another bone.

Yay! Bully likes them. Good, he was the dog we had in mind while buying the milk-bones. But there were 10 other dogs left wide eyed, wondering just what we had in the magical big red box.
