What's a Bully Stick ?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mattie's Mommy · 01-29-2007, 08:35 PM

Can anyone tell me what a bully stick is

--- I keep seeing it on here as something our babies can chew on but I have never heard of them. My Vet just recommended enzadent -- its an oral care chew. Mattie loves them but 1/2 a stick doesn't last long. Plus it makes his #2 look alittle funny so I don't give it to him very often. These puppy teeth are torcher. Mattie's 11weeks.

A bully stick is a chewy that comes from a bull's penis.

Yucky, but true. Oh and most dogs love them.

They aren't the healthiest chewy and most get diarreah from them.

Thanks -- I had no idea -- what about raw hide. I've read mixed things on those too.

Yuck

is putting it mildly -- I don't think Mattie will be having any of these. Just the though of it. But thanks for the info.

I have seven yorkies ranging in size from 2.5 lbs. (14 week old pups) to a whopping 7 lb 3 year old female with the rest of the crew fitting between. All of my furbabies chew Bullies daily -- they are the best chewies I have ever offered to the kids. I purchase in bulk off ebay and they do NOT smell, are not greasy and DO NOT cause any stomach upset or diarreah.

If I only needed a few, I would buy from our very own Kathryn V -- http://www.BeyondSpoiled.com

Mine LOVE their bully sticks. I think it's a bit gross, but who am I to judge? hehe MY Emma LOVES LOVES LOVES rawhide, but I stopped giving it to her because of the risks and these have seemed to take the place nicely!!

I just check that out. How cute, it is tied with curling ribbon! Good price too. I got Chloe her first one at a feed store and it was $3.99!

The funny thing is, it is my husband and kids (boys 12 and 14) who are afraid to touch it. LOL

Why do you think they are unhealthy? Mine sure love them. I have some from the bulk ebay orders and some from Kathryn's site. They do not smell and definately have not caused any diarrhea. They seem the perfect, natural way to keep tartar off dog's teeth.

I buy them from Beyondspoiled.com......and my furkids LOVE them. My vet thinks they are perfectly fine and healthy
