| How many calories in a bully stick? I tried Googling it but no luck. Loki typically has a bully stick at all times. When he finishes one I give him another. Probably 1 12" stick per week. With the cold weather here he has gained weight, so I cut back on his food and treats but so far it's not helping. I'm curious if it could be the sticks. Now that it's warm we are walking every day again and his new sister Sammy is chasing him some, but still... He *loves* his sticks and I hate to take them away. Does anyone know how many calories are in a stick so I can ration them properly? He *should* be about 11-11.5 pounds and he's 12.5 Thanks!

| I think that sounds low? A raw carrot is like 30 calories.

| Wow! That is a great price, unfortunately, it would probably cost me a few hundred dollars to go there for the treats! I love Costco, but dang, I tend to buy everything in site! Next trip I will look out for them, thanks!

| Here is the email response I received from eddieb260 regarding the bullystick calorie count..... Hello, We apologize it took so long to respond. We were trying to get in contact with our manufacturer to get the exact calorie count on these. Unfortunately, we could not get the exact count, only that they are very lean, and very high in protein. We hope this is of some hep to you. thank you, Irena B. |

| My 3 Yorkies eat them all the time and haven't gained any weight - I think I'm gaining it for them, though. |
