I wonder, do you know what bully sticks actually are? They are the genitalia of bulls! I would not give this to a dog. I have an alternative out there for those of you who no longer want to buy Greenies. Try Breath-a-licious (BAL). They can be bought through Hearts United for Animals' website
http://www.ihelppets.com where 100% profit goes to help rescue dogs and stop puppy mills.
Here's what BAL's add says "Compare BAL to Greenies - they are far superior - made with higher quality ingredients, lower in protein which taxes the kidneys and made with five natural breath fresheners which also aid in digestion. BAL is the better choice for your dog. " I give them to my miniature pinscher with no problems. They are somewhat softer than Greenies which probably could be safer for the digestive tract? The chicken protein is supposedly more digestable than the wheat gluten. They are also a little cheaper than greenies.
