Short answer: yes, if your dog does well with dairy and you want a soft-baked biscuit with a short ingredient panel. The Honest Kitchen Goat's Milk N' Cookies Peanut Butter & Honey is $10.00 (regular $15.99, 37% off) — a $5.99 saving on a human-grade biscuit. Browse more dog treats on sale while the price holds.
Sale prices move, so check the product page for today's number before you plan a stock-up. What follows is how we'd judge any biscuit-style treat, where this one lands, and three alternatives worth putting beside it in the cart.
What actually matters when you buy a biscuit-style dog treat
The three numbers that decide whether a treat is worth buying are calories per piece, ingredient count, and how the calories fit into your dog's daily budget. Veterinary nutrition consensus caps treats at 10% of daily calorie intake, which means a 20 lb dog eating roughly 400 kcal per day has about 40 kcal of room — often two or three biscuits, not a handful.
Start with the guaranteed analysis panel. Treats aren't complete diets, so they don't need to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles that govern your dog's main food (18% minimum protein content and 5.5% minimum fat content for adult maintenance, 22.5% protein for growth). What matters instead is whether the biscuit is adding meaningful sugar, salt, or fat on top of a balanced diet. AAFCO is currently phasing in its Pet Food Label Modernization format, with model-regulation compliance dates running through 2028, so you'll see intake statements and clearer nutrition panels appearing on treat bags over the next couple of years. That's a genuine win for anyone who reads labels.
What to check before the biscuit goes in your cart
- Ingredient count under 10. A limited ingredient treat makes elimination trials far easier if your dog develops itch or loose stool.
- Calories per cookie. Most soft-baked biscuits in this size class run 15–30 kcal each. For a 10 lb dog on about 250 kcal daily, that's one cookie, maybe two.
- Added sugar position. Honey is roughly 64 kcal and 17 g of sugar per tablespoon. It's fine as a minor binder; it shouldn't be in the top three ingredients.
- Peanut butter source. Commercial dog treats don't use xylitol, but the jar in your kitchen might. The ASPCA lists xylitol among the most serious household toxins for dogs — always read human peanut butter labels before sharing.
- Breakability. A cookie you can snap into halves or quarters stretches the bag and keeps training sessions under budget.
In our store we see the same mistake weekly: someone buys a great treat, then feeds six a day and wonders why the dog gained 1.5 kg over the winter. Portion discipline matters more than any single ingredient.
The picks: four treats we'd put in the cart this month
These four cover different jobs — reward biscuit, training bite, dental chew, and single-protein option for sensitive dogs. Only the first one is on the verified promotion; the others are regular-price picks from our shelves.
- The Honest Kitchen Goat's Milk N' Cookies, Peanut Butter & Honey — the deal pick. Human-grade production standards, goat's milk as the flavour base, and a soft-baked texture most dogs inhale. At $10.00 down from $15.99 it's the easiest yes on this list, and the cookies snap cleanly into halves for smaller dogs. See the current price here.
- Crumps' Naturals dehydrated singles — the clean-label pick. Made in Canada with one or two ingredients, which is exactly what you want during a protein elimination trial. Dehydrated liver and sweet potato pieces tear down to pea-sized rewards, so a 100 g bag lasts through weeks of training.
- Caru Soft & Tasty Bites — the training pick. Soft, small, and low enough in calories per piece that you can run a 40-rep recall session without blowing the treat budget. Pet owners tell us these work well for dogs who spit out hard biscuits.
- Greenies dental chews — the routine pick. Daily chewing supports mechanical plaque reduction between professional cleanings, and the AVMA is clear that chews complement — never replace — veterinary dental care. Feed to the size chart on the box; these carry real calories, often 90–140 kcal per chew for medium dogs.
Our nutrition experts at the North York store usually suggest pairing one soft reward with one dehydrated single so you've got both a high-value and a low-key option. If you're building a broader routine, our dog health and wellness range covers the supplements — omega-3 oils, glucosamine joint chews, probiotics — that a cookie can't.
Head-to-head: The Honest Kitchen cookies vs Crumps' Naturals
These two solve different problems. The Honest Kitchen biscuit is a flavour-forward reward with dairy and a touch of honey; Crumps' Naturals is a bare-bones dehydrated single with nothing added. If your dog has a suspected dairy sensitivity, the Canadian single wins by default.
| Feature | The Honest Kitchen Goat's Milk N' Cookies | Crumps' Naturals dehydrated singles |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | High-value reward, enrichment toy stuffing, puppy socialisation | Elimination trials, allergy-prone dogs, high-rep training |
| Protein source | Goat's milk plus peanut butter (plant + dairy) | Single animal protein such as beef liver, or a plant single like sweet potato |
| Format | Soft-baked cookie, breakable into halves or quarters | Dehydrated slices or minis, tears down to pea size |
| Ingredient count | Short panel, human-grade sourcing | Typically one to two ingredients |
| Watch-outs | Contains dairy and added honey; not ideal for lactose-sensitive dogs | Lower palatability for fussy dogs; drier texture |
| Price tier | $$ (currently 37% off) | $$ |
| Available at Ashario | Shop the Honest Kitchen deal | Browse Canadian dog treats |
Worth noting for Canadian shoppers: Crumps' Naturals is one of several domestic makers featured in our made in Canada pet products lineup, while The Honest Kitchen is a US brand built on human-grade facility standards. Both approaches produce good treats; they just appeal to different buying priorities.
Our store at 1111A Finch Ave W, Unit 2, North York, ON M3J 2P7 is open 7 AM to 11 PM daily, with local delivery available via DoorDash and other apps.

Questions we get asked at the counter
These are the four questions that come up most often when someone picks up a bag of goat's milk cookies. Short answers first, detail after.
How many Goat's Milk N' Cookies can my dog have per day?
Keep all treats to 10% or less of daily calories. A 10 lb dog eating about 250 kcal per day gets roughly 25 kcal of treats; a 50 lb dog on about 1,100 kcal gets around 110 kcal. Check the calories per cookie on the bag, then divide — for most small dogs that's one cookie, broken in half for two rewards.
If you're using the cookies for training rather than the occasional reward, reduce the main meal slightly on heavy training days. That single adjustment prevents the slow creep in body condition score we see every spring after a quiet winter.
Is goat's milk safe for dogs who are lactose sensitive?
Goat's milk contains less lactose than cow's milk — roughly 4.1% versus 4.7% — and smaller fat globules, which some owners find easier on their dog's gut. That said, it isn't lactose-free. Dogs with diagnosed dairy intolerance can still react with soft stool or gas, so start with half a cookie and watch for 48 hours.
If loose stool is a recurring issue rather than a one-off, that's a veterinary conversation, not a treat-swap conversation. Chronic digestive upset deserves a proper workup.
Is 37% off actually a good deal on dog treats?
A $5.99 saving on a $15.99 bag is a solid discount for a human-grade treat — most treat promotions in this category land in the 15–25% range. At $10.00 the cookies compete on price with far simpler biscuits, which is what makes this one worth acting on. Sale pricing can change without notice, so confirm the live price on the product page.
Our team recommends buying two bags if your dog already eats them happily and one if it's a first try. Soft-baked biscuits keep best in a sealed container away from summer humidity — Toronto's July basement dampness is not kind to an open treat bag.
Can puppies eat these cookies?
Yes, for puppies who've finished weaning and are eating solid food comfortably, in small broken pieces. Growth-stage dogs have tighter nutritional requirements — AAFCO growth profiles call for 22.5% minimum protein content versus 18% for adult maintenance — so treats should stay under that same 10% ceiling to avoid diluting a balanced puppy diet.
If you're still choosing a main food, our review of The Honest Kitchen Whole Food Clusters puppy formula covers the same brand's growth-stage option, and our guide to food for specific needs narrows things down by life stage.
What else should I pair with a reward biscuit?
Pair a soft reward with one chew for jaw work and one enrichment toy for mental stimulation. A stuffable rubber toy from our dog toys collection plus a smear of the cookie crumbs turns a two-minute treat into a twenty-minute activity — genuinely useful on the kind of February afternoon when nobody wants a long walk at Downsview Park.
For deal hunting beyond treats, our Farmina dental treats deal review and the current clearance sale are both worth a scan before checkout. Cat households can check the cat deals page too.
Quick summary: The Honest Kitchen Goat's Milk N' Cookies Peanut Butter & Honey is $10.00, down from $15.99 — a 37% discount and one of the better treat deals on our shelf right now. Feed to the 10%-of-daily-calories rule, start with half a cookie if your dog is dairy sensitive, and confirm today's price on the product page since promotions change. Dogs needing a strict limited ingredient option are better served by a single-ingredient Canadian dehydrated treat.
