Same thing for bully sticks! I have seen SO many cause GI issues...lots of YTers who swore by them, have stopped after having multiple bouts of diarrhea.
Choking and obstructions are also possible with bully sticks.

Bottom line: I do not EVER give my pups any edible chews. The only thing they need that is edible is food. Yes, I give treats, too...but even they are not necessary.

I have never had a "chunk" come off a nylabone either, and I use the flexible ones. I agree that "natural" is not always good. And yes,bully sticks can lodge just like anything else. We saw this recently here on YT when Mickey was in trouble from a bully stick: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...t-surgery.html

I am giving CET dental chews another try under supervision
