1.0 out of 5 starsBelieve the reviews that say these can cause vomiting! Made my dog sick.
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017
Believe the reviews that say these can cause vomiting. I initially thought these were great, but my dog has been vomiting daily for the past two weeks. At first, I thought she just had something that would pass. I mean, all dogs occasionally get sick, so I assumed maybe she sneaked some human food that didn't agree with her or something. When she kept vomiting, I began to worry. She isn't terribly old, but she's not a young dog either. I plan to take her to the vet tomorrow to have her checked out, but my kids were the ones that noted that she didn't start throwing up until we started giving her these treats. She's been getting a "toothbrush" treat daily for a while now, and we haven't always stuck with the same brand because some of them can be quite expensive. It was a couple weeks or so ago that these treats arrived and our dog had this brand for the first time. I never made the connection until my kids pointed it out, but after coming back to check reviews of other people, it is clear that (at least for some dogs) these treats without a doubt cause vomiting. I am truly hoping that no long term damage has been done to my pet for having tried these treats. I will find out more tomorrow at the vet. I hate that I initially reviewed these as 5 stars. My dog initially took to them and was happy to have them. It has taken her longer to consume them over the last few days, with them sometimes lasting an hour or more before she finishes them. I feel terrible now that I didn't notice sooner that it was likely these treats that were making her sick. I do not recommend these at all! Avoid at all costs. I know there are a lot of good reviews, but I too had initially left a 5 star review. It's just not worth the gamble to find out if your pet is going to be one of the ones that gets sick from these.
Update 1/19/18: Due to winter weather, I haven't been able to get my dog to the vet yet. I can report that the vomiting she was experiencing stopped immediately after I stopped giving her these treats. I cannot emphasize enough that these treats should be avoided. A quick online search regarding these Milk Bones causing vomiting will leave you shocked that they are still on the market. Apparently, these treats have been making dogs sick for years (some complaints I saw went all the way back to 2009), and some claim these to be the cause of their pet's death. Having seen how sick they made my dog, I believe it. Please, please avoid these!
