Where these two actually differ
- We flag Rancidity and oxidative degradation of fats and Ingredient sourcing transparency and traceability on the Milk-Bone and not on the Orijen.
- We flag PFAS in packaging (bag material/inks) and Oxidative rancidity in fat during storage on the Orijen and not on the Milk-Bone.
- The Milk-Bone is Wheat flour, meat by-products, soy lecithin, standard binders and preservatives where the Orijen is dry kibble in paper/kraft bag, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
