Definitely will. He doesn't HAVE to have bully sticks. But I'd love to find him something to chew that is low in fat and not rawhide.

I am pretty certain I'm not willing to take the risk of bully sticks. But like I said, will ask the vet.

He hates most Nylabone stuff. The only kind he likes to chew is the flexi kind but I am so paranoid about the little pieces he gets off them. It makes me feel like I'm just letting him eat plastic. lol

Maybe frozen green beans would work for a treat/chewing thing?

Crystal, I was thinking of Nylabone for chewing too. My doggies have never had bully sticks either, I feel like you do about them haha....
I'll check into it. I'd prefer not to feed a vegetarian food if it's not necessary. But yeah the NB Ultra Reduced Calorie seems like a really good choice, to me, right now.
