| Bully Sticks?? Question I've been reading a lot on here about bully sticks lately as an alternative to rawhide and greenies...so i was just going to ask the question about what they were made of...but googled it instead. Wikipedia... A bully stick, also known as a beef stick, is a dog treat made from a dried bull's penis. The penis, usually measuring about 24 inches in length, is removed and cut into sections. The sections are then dried and are sold as a dog treat. : Is this what all you guys are giving your babies??? I dont know how i feel about this |

| Actually, every bully stick I bought for Gracie is dried tendons.

| I thought all bully sticks were made out of bull penises too because that is what I read however someone rrecently pointed out to me that the mericks brand are tendons. I think the ones I bought were tendons too because mine didnt smell and everyone on here says they smell

| I dont think the say on the package what they are at least mine didnt. If you want tendons i would go with the merricks brand so you are sure. Alot of people on here get the other kind though and say their dogs love them

| Thanks...ill look for merricks. Im sure shell love whatever kind i get her...she loves all treats, i just want to try something that lasts a little longer while i'm out. right now i give her cookies but she usually just digs it up in something and leaves it for right before bed. Some nights shell even come to bed then jump off in 10 mins...go get her cookie and eat it in bed. I used to mind but then i realized shes great at picking up all the crumbs. hehe Any other ideas on something that will last a few hours? Im thinking about trying kong...but do you have to put the paste in there...cuz it seems kind of messy? |

| I give mine the kong too but I put peanut butter and yoqurt in it and freeze it. They also have cans of cheese and peanut butter in like a cheese wiz container at the pet supply places but i thought that was messy
