| Bully Sticks Are Great! I am so glad I took recommendations from other Yorkie parents about bully sticks. Henry is so hyper being that he is only 11 weeks old. Playing with the same 3 toys seem to lose his attention and I was running out of things to do after 30 minutes. Tonight I bought 2 bully sticks and a small antler. He absolutely LOVES the bully stick and chewed on it most of the evening- I was even able to watch a t.v. show! When it was time for bed, I didn't let him have the stick because I want him to crave it and not just have it all the time. During morning play time tomorrow, I am going to introduce him to the antler and see what he thinks. If he likes it, I am thinking I will leave it in the crate for him tomorrow while I am at work. I hope he continues to like these chew toys especially during his teething months because they are a God send! |

| I agree that bully sticks are amazing and I'm so happy that Henry loves them! With that being said I never leave my boys edible bones when I'm not home because they can be a choking hazard. I always am around when they chew. I have seen my boy break a pretty decent sized piece of a bully stick off and I took it out of his mouth before it caused issue. Just be careful.

| What is a bully stick by definition? I have a cow's tail for Nilla (got from the local pet boutique) and they have a few other kinds of gnawables (I think one had to do with a fish ... ewh, lol). I guess I could ask the lady that runs it if she has any, I just want to know what exactly it is.

| I know it sounds awful and may take a while to get used to the idea (maybe don't tell your husband?) but dogs really love them. I've ordered from here before: Bully Sticks - All Natural Dog Treats - Best Bully Stick and in fact just placed a new order for more bullysticks and some other really strange animal chews that we've never tried before

With the bullies, I'd be very careful about choking and also an upset tummy. We toss the bullies in the trash when they get down too small. I would also suggest that you watch Henry carefully the first time you give him anything new. Hey, at least the bullies are good to keep him busy long enough for you to enjoy a TV show. | |

But I do supervise mine all the time and take them away when they get down to a size they might swallow.

| Okay, okay ... I went to our local pet boutique again today (because I cannot for the life of me stay out of there anymore), and they had bully sticks and bully strips, so I got Nilla a bully strip. Yes, I got Nilla a bully strip after our conversation. I am pretty sure it and Zuke's peanut butter treats are crack for puppies.

| Say whaaat?! LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one! My husband keeps saying, "I'm disturbed at how much she likes chewing on that ..." After I brought it in I asked if he knew what a bully stick was and he guessed it right off the bat!

| My girls absolutely love them too. They chew on them all the time if I let them. I have noticed that when they have them they do not eat as much food. Anther drawback is Suzi our yorkie. She has her own bully stick , but always takes the other one from our Tzu and hides it. Then the 2 of them will fight over the one. So my son and i have to find the other one and make sure both dogs are happy. my goodness it is like having 2 babies fighting over a toy
