Gracie is 5lbs and I get her the 12" regular thickness bully sticks. I don't think it is any more gross than the other parts of the body that are used in the dog food industry.
They do last a very long time for us. There are larger ones for bigger dogs. She can't bite a piece off and since the end does soften as she chews it is good for the teeth. Dogs always end up swallowing rawhide and they can either choke on them or if they swallow them the rawhide can sit in the stomach undigested and cause digestive issues.
Gracie doesn't chew as much as she once did but she needs to chew at least three times a week. Before I got the bully sticks she was always chewing something apart. |
