i do have a bully stick, but i find, it makes him SO thirsty, so I don't want him to have it later in the eve so he doesn't drink a ton of water before bed. I live in Juneau AK, and we have all of 1 pet store, so I don't know if I'll find the chili bones, but I'll look! I'll check out the other options too...thanks for all the tips! (oscar thanks you too!)
