one natural, not a “Milk-Bone” Veterinary dentists would argue that a<br />

complete tartar scraping and dentistry, followed by rinsing of the mouth,<br />

would certainly freshen most dogs’ breath better than Milk-Bones. This<br />

second statement, in fact, may lead consumers to believe that dentistry is<br />

not necessary for dogs. A medical claim Where are the regulators<br />

MILK-BONE DOG TREATS ★ – <strong>The</strong>y are shaped like bone<br />

segments with a reddish center, and claim “with Real Bone Marrow.” At<br />

a glance, we discover that it is the ingredient “meat and bone meal” to<br />

which they must be referring as “real bone marrow.” In fact, meat and<br />

bone meal contains only insignificant fractions (if any) of marrow. Naturally<br />

it has some marrow in it, but the red dyed stuff in the middle is not just<br />

marrow. Where are the regulators<br />

SNAUSAGES ★ – “<strong>The</strong> Ideal Snack” – unless the definition of<br />

“ideal” has changed, this cannot be true, since they contain artificial/chemical<br />

Peer reviewed proof Where are the regulators<br />

JERKY BITS ★ – “You and your dog will flip for ALPO Jerky<br />

Bits TM .” Not only your dog flips, but you do too. Is the flip a one-and-ahalf,<br />

or a backward with a full twist What if a human were to break his<br />

or her neck while doing one of these flips Who pays for damages Pity<br />

the insurance carrier. Where are the regulators<br />

CHEW-EEZ ★ – “Chew-eez TM gets your dog’s teeth cleaner than<br />

Milk-Bone.” Well, now hold everything. If this is true, somebody lied to<br />

us when they said nothing was better than Milk-Bones for my dog’s teeth!<br />

I’m confused. How can both be approved and licensed Where are the<br />

regulators<br />

TOP CHOICE ★ – Here the front panel claims “Better Than Hamburger,”<br />

and “Chopped Beef Burger for Dogs.” Better tasting, better<br />

nutrition, better smelling Exactly how better <strong>The</strong> second claim “Chopped<br />
