I'm definitely not saying bully sticks are 100% safe, but I make sure to watch my two as they chew on them and take them away when I feel they are too small. It's a scary world and I think everything has its dangers... But at what point do we decide to bubble wrap our babies to ensure they are never harmed? I let my two be dogs and enjoy their bully sticks, but I make sure they never leave my sight. I think it's all up to the owner. |
Those sites are talking about the Nylabones that are digestible...here is a quote from the first one: She blames the company's line of flexible chew toys. They're marketed under names like Gumma-Bone and Plaque Attacker.
Some vets say they're made of an indigestible material, and plaque attacker has a knobby surface that can lodge in the digestive tract. That is why I specifically said the Dura Hard Nylabones. The pups cannot chew pieces of them off!
I am not saying my pups live in a bubble...far from it; but to give them something they can ingest as a chew? Never going to happen in my home, under or supervision or not. Only takes one issue...and that could be a deadly one.
