Our Story

Milk-Bone® brand has helped bring dogs and people together for over a century.

The original Milk-Bone® dog snack was created in 1908, by the F.H Bennett Biscuit Company at a bakery in the Lower East Side of New York City. The first dog biscuit treat made in the United States, Milk-Bone gave pet parents a little something to show their dogs how much they care.

It was love at first bite. The bone shaped treat and the box with a dog quickly became icons. Over the next few decades, Milk-Bone continued to grow and reward good dogs by introducing new flavors, sizes, and treats.

Today, Milk-Bone gives you more than 20 different varieties of treats so you can show your best friend how much you care.

All made with love.
