[miko's mommy]

I was just wondering if anyone have had any problems with bully sticks? Miko seems tired of all his chewies (except for greenies, but we try to limit these). Other then what they are made off (bull's penis?), are bully sticks supposed to be healthier than rawhides or healthy in general? Are dingos better or worse? He really isn't crazy about nylabones anymore

.

Thanks in advance for your replies

Most dogs do well with bully sticks if they don't cause an upset stomach. It is a chew for supervision, but they tend not to break off small pieces.

jongee loves her bullysticks, she chews on it all day

but watch out for kisses after chewing on them, their breath can smell and taste real bad

Mee,

The smell is why I stopped giving them to Miko in the first place!! But then he really does not want any other ones now so I guess its back to bully sticks!! Do you get the braided ones or the straight ones?

I was just in Petco today (I totally hate it too) but they do have the braided/twistet kind. It looks like a braid that you would have on your hair. Let me try to find a picture of it on web!

http://www.jonesnaturalchews.com/beef_prod...f_products.html

Its the one on the right side, 6th one down, called the braided stick

 

[doctorcathy]

the braided ones are a little easier to eat...and dont smell that bad. i think they smell like peanut butter. lol.

if you go to a small petstore, you might be able to find 3 foot bully sticks. and they're a long stick and take a long time to eat.

with the braided ones, you have to watch how much they eat (cuz they're easy to eat). with the stick ones, that look thick like the first pic on that website you showed......it takes FOREVER to eat.

and they're way healthier than rawhide because they cant swallow a big piece and choke or get trapped into their intestines or whatever.

and dingo sticks---are just rawhid with chicken jerky.

all we carry in my house are bulls penis.

lol.

oooo i think ive seen the braided ones in my petsmart before, i remmber something gross looking like that at petsmart

i didnt know they were bullysticks

well, heres photos of jongee and taco with a bullystick

(they dont know how to share)

<jong-ee gets a bullystick>

<yummy to the tummy>

<along comes taco>

<mine!>

 

[doctorcathy]

taco is CUTE!!! here's a pic of a 3ft bully stick (the ends are a little chewed...so its not quite 3 ft).

and sprite was tired...she didnt want it. she only wants it if someone is chewing on it. LOL

 

[miko's mommy]

Jong-ee and Taco are too cute!!!

Cathy, that a super duper long bully stick! Where do get it?

I will get the camera out sometime tonight (or maybe tommorow) to take pics of Miko with his bully stick

.

 

[doctorcathy]

there are two places that i know of that sell that long of a stick:

Pet Adventure in Canyon Country, CA

and

Bree's Pet Depot in Valencia, CA

each one of these bully sticks are $8

 

[littlepeanut]

Peanut and Tic love Bully Sticks, but I have a dumb question. Are pizzle sticks the same thing? There was also another name but I can't remember it.

 

[doctorcathy]

yeah, bully sticks and pizzle sticks are the same thing. i've heard bull wrinkles---but i'm not sure if thats the same thing.

my family and i have a system to know the difference between the harder/thicker bully sticks from the easy to eat/thats SORTA clear (like the braided sticks).

well, we say that the bully sticks are the thicker ones. and pizzle sticks are the easy to eat ones.

we let gruffi chew bully sticks all the time. he's only allowed a pizzle stick in the car...and he's not allowed to eat a whole one or else he gets diahhrea.

i hope i made sense. it'd be great if everyone used this system(but they dont

). LOL.

 

[littlepeanut]

Thanks Dr.Cathy!!!!! Bullwrinkles is the name that I couldn't remember. I always dig through the box at the pet store to find the good thick ones

 

[BrookeB676]

Mine LOVE bullysticks and now that I started to carry them they have them ALL the time which they LOVE!!

Here is a pic of Rocky chewing one
