Our bully sticks and other products come from livestock and are crafted into totally natural, protein-rich dog treats and chews. Unlike chemically treated rawhides that promote bacteria growth and can present a choking hazard, bully sticks are hygienic and durable. Don’t worry because most of the pet owners, even vets don’t know how to make them.
They can either get stuck in your dog’s mouth, throat, or digestive system. I’ve also seen dogs with very sore mouths or throats because they chewed bully sticks too aggressively. As mentioned above, the bacteria present on bully sticks can also upset a dog’s stomach. Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea and a decreased appetite. Many dog owners prefer them based on their natural, single-ingredient composition. But like any treat, they come with their own set of precautions, especially for puppies who are often more aggressive chewers. A “bully stick” is a type of dog chew treat that is made from dehydrated tissue from a male cow.

SHAPE
Bully sticks come in a variety of lengths, sizes, and shapes. Not every bully stick is made equal, they come from a variety of sources and undergo different cleaning processes.
They’re then rolled into a stick shape and oven-roasted to perfection. You’ll find that bully sticks come from a variety of sources. Many pet owners like to purchase bully sticks only from the United States since it is a trusted source. Good quality bully sticks can also come from other countries such as South America or Turkey, they can also be odorless! Ultimately, if you care about where your bully stick comes from, then choose the source you trust. The width of a bully stick determines how long your dog will be chewing.
This prevents your pet from ingesting dirt and other objects from your floor or the ground. And as a bonus, it keeps your carpet and floors free from your dog’s slobber. Let’s be real, bully sticks may be high value but they are also slobbery and stinky. Bully sticks can be a potential choke hazard and cause an intestinal obstruction. Be sure to monitor your pet closely as the stick gets smaller. Once they are no longer able to hold the stick between their paws to chew it, take it away. A great option for making bully sticks a safer chew activity is to use a quality bully stick holder.
For example, metal bully stick holders are durable and can withstand the test of time. They are also non-toxic, and easy to clean and maintain. The last inch or two of a stick is often swallowed resulting in getting stuck in the esophagus.
