Bully Sticks

[fortindycouple]

Jack absolutely LOVES Bully Sticks, and OMG, they smell disgusting!!! I am very sensitive to smells because of all the medication I take. When we first gave them to him, I didn't realize where the smell was coming from, and I finally figured it out, and was relieved it wasn't me!!! LOL

Do you know what these are? I bet this is the last time you buy them!

[MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION] YES!! I know exactly what they are!!! A guy at the place we buy them said they recently switched the package Logo. It used to be a bull standing, holding himshelf, saying Ohhhhhhhh. They also cannot keep them in stock. I'm for sure telling Jeff they aren't good for him, we have them laying all over the house. I'm going to gather them all up, take a picture, and post. It's ridiculous!!! He buys more stuff for Jack right now than all four kids put together; however that will change very soon. Two getting ready to return to college and two entering their Senior year of High School. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Oh no! Emma loves em. YUCK YUCK YUCK

So no raw hide and bully sticks are bad for them. What does everyone use instead?

What are bully sticks dog treats made from?

Bully sticks, also known as beef pizzles, pizzle sticks, beef sticks, steer stix, are made from 100% bull penises. Bull penis is a single ingredient of bully sticks. Some suppliers and merchants say that they sell bully sticks made of "beef tendons" or "dried muscles" as that part of the anatomy is a tendon and muscle indeeed, and this may sound less repulsive for some people with psychological barrier thinking of feeding bull privates to their furbabies.

In the beginning of manufacturing process the bull's penis that is usually 23-25 inches long, is removed and cleaned. It is hung vertically for the fluids contained to fully drain. Without these fluids bully sticks are odor free. At the next stage of processing bull penises are stretched, twisted or braided, dried and then may be smoked for flavor. The result is a 30-40 inches long very hard brown stick which is cut into pieces suitable for dogs of any size. Thus you can buy small bully sticks of 4'', large beef pizzles of 30 inches and any length between, such as 5'', 6'', 7'', 9'' and 12''.

As bully sticks are 100% natural product, thickness, shape and color may slighty vary.

Compared to other dog chews, bully sticks last incredibly long time. It can take weeks for a small dog to chew on one bully stick, while large breeds may enjoy chewing of bull pizzles between a few hours and a few days.

[MENTION=5383]Handiangie[/MENTION]....nylabones..large ones..and antlers...my dogs love..love antlers! I get nylabones from amazon..best prices I've found..and nutlets fom Yellowstone Antlers..

 

[Handiangie]

For Gawds sake what is a NUTLET? I'm afraid to know. None of my dogs have EVER took a liking to nylabones. They wont touch em. Do the antlers last awhile or will she finish it in one sitting.

Yes..they last for months..get the elk ..large or xlarge! Mine ..who are both champeen chewers..have had the ones they now are working on..since Christmas!

OK bully stick, cows ears and pigs ears, and raw hides can be fatal to a bully. Chocking hazard and raw hides can even tear the intestines causing death. A friend of my daughter who lives in Washington state found out the hard way. Nylabones, Elk antlers, Kongs, or any other hard rubber toy are safe for bullies.

Himalayan Everest Chews! It's very hard smoked cheese and lasts quite awhile. Google it!

 

[PeterPanAndWendy]

Bully sticks! Pan says he is happy with his own Bully Stick.... I think his exact words were "mine, all mine"

 

[Handiangie]

Where does everyone get the elk antlers

 

[TonkaTruck28]

All of the pet stores in town carry them, Petsmart being the biggest. I think they're cheaper online though.
