YT 2000 Club Member | Teeka and question about bully stick Teeka got a new bully stick! She loves it but it is totally different than the Red Barn sticks. When she chews them, it gets stringy like a rawhide does. It is called Nudges by Wags and made in Independence, Iowa. Ingredients are Beef pizzle and smoke flavor, no rawhide or filler. Has any one heard of this brand? Any input on the safety? It is really hard and she is not able to chew anything off until it gets moist from her saliva.

YT 2000 Club Member | I called the listed number on the bag and they are produced in Iowa. They told me because it is a muscle and that is why it get stringy and soft when chewed. Is this the way other bully sticks get when chewed?

| Every bully stick I have bought gets like that. I had to quit getting them. Jada makes a mess of her facial hair when she chews on them. The stringy stuff gets stuck in the hair and then if you don't find it all immediately it sets up like chewing gum. I just don't give them to her, its too much of a hassle.

| I think that's normal. I give bully sticks to my two, but only once every couple of months. I feel like there isn't anything out there safe enough... I'm always nervous when they are eating them.

| Sam just got his first Nudges stick. He chewed on it for about 30 minutes and hasn't touched it since. My boy is a weirdo.

YT 2000 Club Member | Yes, she has grown into a pretty girl! 4 months ago, she was this tiny, little ball of fur that I could almost hold in the palm of my hand!

YT 2000 Club Member | I did do this once....she sure loves to chew on it. She really doesn't get get much off and I think it will last longer than the others. That is if I can keep it away from out Cocker, Bailey!
