Originally owned by the F.H. Bennett Biscuit Co., Milk-Bone was acquired by Nabisco in 1931. After expanding its product into the Canadian market in 1954, the brand outgrew its New York City manufacturing plant and headed for its new home at a Nabisco cracker factory in Buffalo. The company changed hands in 2002, when it was bought by Kraft Foods. In 2006, Milk-Bone was bought by Del Monte Foods and remains part of its vast Del Monte Pet Products line.
Born Malatoids in 1908 at a Lower East Side bakery in New York City, the doggie treat was renamed Milk-Bone sometime between 1915 and 1926. As demand grew, production was moved to Buffalo in 1957. Since then, the giant bakery on Urban Street has been quietly cranking out the popular bone-shaped dog treats on Buffalos East Side.
Within the red brick walls, skilled craftsmen toil around the clock to produce the tasty treats that help coax dogs everywhere in from the backyard, make them shake hands and sometimes even roll over. And the only plant that makes them is in the spotlight this year because Milk-Bone just turned 100 years old.
Conveyed to the fifth floor, the bones pass through one of six 220-foot-long ovens before heading downstairs to be blown dry by hot air. One floor below, gleaming rolls of red plastic wait alongside cardboard boxes to package the sorted and finished treats.
Once the final product is stacked onto pallets and wrapped in plastic, it will either be stored at the sites 33,000-square-foot warehouse or make its way to third-party storage in Cheektowaga before being trucked off to consumers.
