ReportedIngredient sourcing transparency and traceability

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Aflatoxin and mycotoxin contamination and Heavy metals in meat meals and bone meals on the Eukanuba and not on the Milk-Bone.
  • We flag Ingredient sourcing transparency and traceability on the Milk-Bone and not on the Eukanuba.
  • Both carry a flag for Rancidity and oxidative degradation of fats, so neither choice avoids it.
  • The Eukanuba is dry kibble, grain and meat-based where the Milk-Bone is Wheat flour, meat by-products, soy lecithin, standard binders and preservatives, which is most of the difference in these two grades.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
