Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm assuming you are speaking of Milkbones the treats? As with any treat, as long as it isn't causing Chloe to have any vomiting, diarrhea or inappetence, small amounts of treats in moderation are fine for most dogs. If she is dealing with a weight issue, there are low calorie treats that are available as well.

Hello! Milkbones are like the doggy equivalent of McDonalds. It makes for a great treat or reward, but definitely not an important part of a nutritious diet. Meat and bone meal in pet foods often comes from beef and pork. I hope this is helpful!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is fine for Chloe to have milk bones. The treats and the dog food doesn't have to be the same unless Chloe suffers from food or skin allergies where the food protein is the same. Have a great day!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chloe. The pet food industry and its terminology can be very confusing. Meat generally refers to skeletal muscle tissue from the animal source (chicken, beef, etc). Meal meal is formed from tissue leftover after slaughter. It is cooked down and dried to be added as a protein source. Bone meal refers to ground bone and adds calcium and phosphorus to the diet. Milk bones are nice treats for dogs as then come in very small sizes. This helps with portion control as many peta are overweight. I have attached an article that will explain this further. I hope this information helps! http://news.vet.tufts.edu/2017/02/unwholesome-ingredients-in-your-dogs-food/

Milkbones, in moderation are fine to give your dog. They are typically pretty low in calories so they are a better treat than other chewy/jerky like treats. Just remember less than 10% of your dog’s diet should come from treats. The other 90% should come from a well balanced dog food.
