| Did the Bully Stick hurt my baby? I bought bully sticks for the first time yesterday and Capone hasn't stopped chewing them yet. He chewed up a whole one in one day. Just now he was chewing on one and started yelping really loud. He hardly ever yelps even when he is hurt so I know something hurt him. He put the stick down for a few minutes but then went back to it after taking a short break from it. Has this happened to anyone? Could it have hurt the inside of his mouth or tongue? It really scares me when I hear him yelp. Thanks.

| I believe its made of bull loins. It's kind of like a substitute for raw hide bones.

It sounds gross but it simply looks like a stick. Jackson LOVES his bully sticks and they are the one bone he won't chew up really fast. He takes his time on it. They are also 100% digestible, and much better for them than rawhides and others.

| Could he have bitten his tongue or the inside cheek of his little mouth. It would be possible if he was really chewing hard, but then there would have been a bit of blood too.

Oh yeah, Uni bit herself on the wishbone too. She let out a big squeal, then went right back to work.

| Lucky loves the Bully Sticks also....it surprised the heck outta me when I found out what they're really made from...lol Given the smell though, it's believable...hahahaha Lucky has tried almost every treat out there and his favourites are: Bully Sticks Ceasar bite size treats and the dried chicken breast strips which are great because they are just 100% chicken breast! He kinda loves pig ears too, but there are so much controversy over them I just don't let him have them now! They gave him runny poo a couple of times also.....soooo that done it for me lol.....

| I didn't see any blood, attempted to look/feel around in his mouth but he wouldn't let me. I think he hates bully sicks now, which makes me sad because he loved it when I first brought it home.

Bully sticks and other products like it are made of 100% dried beef tendon, from various parts of the animal. You can find them easily on the net, try entirelypets.com they are a fave of mine. Sign up for their emails and they will email you with coupons and free shipping for over $25, etc. They just had a sale on Merricks products (still may be on sale) and I stocked up a years worth of wishbones and got free shipping too! Also check in the Products and Reviews section of the forum, usually someone will have a coupon code posted. Here's one Wylie's Mom posted. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...irelypets.html
