Are Milk-Bone dog treats safe for my dog? What about ingredients?

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.

A great treat is to take Sara's kibble or wet food, get it wet and mixed into a slurry, and then freeze it into the Kong. This can help give her a longer-lasting treat to play with that doesn't cut into her meals with added calories! If she isn't as interested, hiding a treat or two within the frozen food can make it more enticing without being too much extra.

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.

Yes, puppies and dogs can have [peanut butter](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/peanut-butter). Make sure it does not contain the artificial sweetener [xylitol](https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-products-that-contain-xylitol) which is toxic to dogs. Also, to prevent obesity, treats should make up no more than 10% of the total daily calories. I recommend freezing the peanut butter in the [treat-dispensing toy](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/kong-wobbler-food-dispensing-dog-toy) overnight in the freezer, and that will occupy him for a long time. There are a number of ways to keep your puppy occupied with a treat-filled toy while you are away.

I usually fill a King toy about half way with peanut butter. From your picture your puppy does not look overweight and that would be the concern with too much peanut butter. Remember to use it as a snack and make sure she is still eating her regular meals. Kisses for Midnight!

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!

This is perfect! (We basically just don’t want people buying pumpkin pie filling!) PS- You may notice Cruz producing a little more stool from the extra fiber - it’s nothing to worry about! Tell Cruz to enjoy!
