When to Choose Old Mother Hubbard Classic Original Mix
Budget-conscious owners who want a simple, no-nonsense everyday biscuit
Old Mother Hubbard delivers a straightforward oven-baked biscuit with recognizable ingredients at an unbeatable price. The crunchy texture provides mild dental benefit, though the wheat and corn base means it is not ideal for grain-sensitive dogs. A solid everyday treat for the price.
Strengths
- Simple, recognizable ingredients with no artificial preservatives or colors
- Oven-baked crunchy texture helps with dental maintenance
- Excellent value at under $9 for a 20oz bag
Limitations
- Contains wheat flour and corn meal — not grain-free
- Higher calorie density per biscuit than soft training treats
- Limited protein variety in the original mix formula
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
