I'm looking for an answer specifically for the "when" they can start having them, please.
I mean no offense, but I have my opinion and my opinion is that bully sticks are perfectly fine if you purchase high-end premium ones that are made properly. They've never made our dogs sick.
Bella's been sick...and I did ask the vet about the pizzle sticks but he said "No, that didn't do it." |
LMAO!!!
I've always given my dogs something to chew on when they were teething. If she wants to try one, and your able to watch her for her 1st, I'd go for it.
Cinders had a pig ear at 6 months- it was bigger than she was but she sure enjoyed it! I know I'll hear about that 1! My butcher makes them and sells them, so they're not like the pet store ears. I swear she did as much snuggling with it as she did chewing on it! She was a greasy mess for a few days, but she was happy!
** limit how long she gets to chew it. Cinders would chew and not be hungry if she chewed too long**
