When to Choose Blue Buffalo BLUE Bits Chicken
Training sessions where you need a soft, flavorful treat without grains
Blue Buffalo BLUE Bits deliver a solid mid-range training treat — real chicken first, grain-free, and soft enough for quick consumption during training. Past brand recalls ding the safety score, but the current formula is clean. Good value at $12 for a 19oz bag.
Strengths
- Real chicken as the first ingredient with DHA for brain health
- Soft, moist texture that dogs find highly appealing
- No poultry byproducts, corn, wheat, or soy
Limitations
- Blue Buffalo has had past recalls affecting brand trust
- Contains flaxseed which some dogs may have sensitivity to
- Softer texture means shorter shelf life once opened
When to Choose Milk-Bone Original Biscuits Medium
Owners looking for the most affordable everyday treat that dogs love
Milk-Bone is the most recognizable dog treat brand for a reason — dogs love them and the price is unbeatable. However, the inclusion of BHA and grain-heavy ingredients puts it behind competitors on ingredient quality. A reliable budget option, but not the healthiest choice.
Strengths
- Lowest price point in this comparison — exceptional value per biscuit
- Fortified with 12 vitamins and minerals for supplemental nutrition
- Universally recognized and accepted by nearly all dogs
Limitations
- Contains BHA as a preservative — a common concern among health-conscious owners
- Corn, soy, and wheat in the ingredient list — not suitable for grain-sensitive dogs
- Higher calorie density makes portion control important for smaller breeds
