They are not the same at all. Pigs ears are just that , ears from a pig/pork. Pigs ears are high in salt, preservatives and some are very high in fat. They can also harbor salmonella, and can cause esophageal and intestinal obstructions. Not the best choice for a chew, especially for small dogs like ours.
Bully sticks are from a bull/beef. They come from the tendon that...well, they are a bull's penis. They are high in protein and low in fat. A good choice for a dog's chew!
