It takes a lot of chewing to wear one of those down. I really believe that it was larger dogs that had problems with them.
Just my opinion...there are many here who will disagree.

Oh...and I asked my vet and she has never seen an issue with one of them. Not saying it never happens. I just do not believe it is common.

I am not convinced that bully sticks are without issues.
I agree... I have never had a problem with them. My babies love them and I have nylabones in all shapes. I only give the non-edible ones. I have puppy keys, bones, etc.

I am steering away bully sticks and only giving them sparingly. My Molly can demolish one in just a few minutes and she has been known to get diarrhea from them whereas Nylabones, himalayan chews, antlers last a LOT longer and we havent had any problems with those.
