I think you might have it backwards. The white sticks you are referring to are most likely rawhide, and those are unsafe to give because they are not fully digestible and can cause intestinal blockage. Bully sticks are brown, and those are safer to give because they are digestible. Even though it is kind of unsettling to think that they are chewing on bull penis, our babies love them.
