bully sticks are made out of WHAT?! listen ladies, you all tricked me into buying my cute little girl puppy a bully stick. She loves it. I then find out its made of... well look it up Bully stick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think we are setting a bad example, the dog sleeps in my bed after all :eek: |
:D I had the same reaction. THen when my Roxy had her surgery I felt so bad that I decided to give it a try. They sold them at the vets. I asked by son (19 years old) to grab 2 of them. He was carrying them and I was telling him how everyone on YT recommended them, but I hadn't wanted to try it because the thought just didn't set well. He shoved them on me and started wiping his hands up and down on my arm - he just did not appreciate that he had been carrying that around. :yelrotflm It was one of the few times I laughed that day. But I must say, Roxy absolutely loves them!!! |
Just don't think about it. Bully sticks really are the best, safest alternative to rawhide. |
I'm with you smoop! I just don't get it...with all the 'stuff' on the market for our babies to chew on like pig ears, cow hooves, bully sticks, sections of dried muscle, pig snouts and so on...why not just go out and pick up road kill for them?? :eek: It would be cheaper! ;) I'll stick with washable toys, Nylabones and the occaisional leaf or stick but there will be no dead animal parts around here for my babies to chew on! |
I almost bought one the other day at Petsmart. I too started rubbing my hand on my pants and put them down. Brady sleeps with me and likes to have a treat to chew before bed and didn't want that in my bed either :tongue3: |
LOL! I got Lilly's first bully stick the other day. I just casually handed it to my 12 year old brother, "here carry this for me, my hands are full". A few minutes later I said "okay, give me the bull's penis", I almost passed out from the look on his face while he was saying "WHAT!" :rolleyes:! |

They don't bother me at all. But maybe it is because I grew up on a ranch. I mean it is a tendon so it is from the inside of the bull. I think humans eat some pretty disgusting stuff....mountain oysters, sweet breads.....to name a few. I just wanna know who thought of going into the bull penis and getting the tendon out:eek: and then thought....this would make a great dog chew.....:confused::rolleyes: |
I had the same reaction when I first found out. They really are one of the best treats you can give. Dogs so need to chew and this is a great thing for them to chew on. Just don't tell your babies what it is, they don't need to know.;) |
This is sooooo Funny! :lol tears:lol tears:lol tears:lol tearsI didn't know this information.....sorry mine will not be getting one.........can't take the jokes from my husband...:sidesplt: |
I had NO idea they were a bull penis! How gross! I guess it is better than them eating their own poop though which is what my JJ liked to do before I bought him one of these and put pineapple juice in his food! I am with the person that wonders who thought of the idea..Let's see today, make dog chews from bull's penis..check. Too funny! |
Give Roxy and Remi their Bull-Winkies and they are like cats with a stash of Grade A Catnip, lol. I love waking up in the AM just to find out I've been laying on a soggy bullwinkie all nite - no wonder the pups won't stop licking me, I stink to high Heaven!!! |
well unfortunately these are just the decisions we are going to have to make for our dogs well being... rawhide vs. bullysticks.. would you rather have... bone that has been acid bathed to rid of the muscles and tendons from a dead animal that could be potentially harmful for your pup or... naturally cured tendons from the bull penis that can help your pups teeth and gums that have no effect on the well being of your pup? some things humans consume from all countries are no different than this.... as dogs do... we do it because it tastes good. |
:eek: :sidesplt: |
I have been wanting to ask this question about the bully sticks but just didnt know how to go about it. I was thinking about getting my yorkies some bully sticks and started reading up on them and couldnt believe what they were made from.:lol tears |
Too funny...I laughed when I first found out too. My baby doesn't like them.... |
Another Bully Science Lesson! I don't understand why we have such a large number of penis haters here at YT. All of my furkids male and female, young and old, love to chew. You should see them come running when I call out "Wanna Chew?". They are only allowed to chew in the play pen so I can supervise and be sure that the bully's are thrown away when they get too small. We are talking clean, muscle here, ladies. And I would almost guarantee that the bit of penis your pup is slobbering over came from a STEER - a boy with no balls to play with. The previous owner of your bully was raised for beef - bulls who are visiting the ladies are way to valuabe to become a dog chew. And if a brief science lesson is needed, both semen and urine travel through a tube called the urethra so no objectional body fluids come into contact with the part that we are discussing. Happy chewing! :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears |

Thanks for the lesson Cindy. :lol tears:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears The only objection that I have about them is the smell!!!! Yuk. I found the ones that "AMD" sells and that solved that. Mine LOVE them. As a matter of fact, Hot Rod must have chewed on his for a solid 2 1/2 hours tonight. We were watching a movie is how I know...he didn't stop except once to go out and do his business. |
lol that's awesome. Alfie loves them along with his deer antlers. We give our pups the strangest stuff. |
you are killing me Cindy! roflmao |
Try Sweet Potato chews -- Sam's Yams I agree that bully sticks sound gross. The store we get Gracie's food from gave us a sample of Sam's Yams. Gracie likes them and it takes her a while to eat. I give her 1/2 of a "Bichon Fries" . They are 100% Sweet potato. :thumbup::aimeeyork |
:D:D:D I think if you know the delicacies an Indonesian chinese will indulge in, most of you will object :D We forget that dogs are carnivores... Penis, tripes... it's all the same to them ;) |

haha omg I bought sumo his first bully stick today.. I get home... get on YT.. and read this!!! haha I called my boyfriend and he was disgusted!!! he was like dont let our baby boy chew on a pee pee!!!! i was dying. Sumo liked it very much and i just look at it as another part like a pig ear or something. |
haha yeah I was surprised to learn why they were called "Bully" sticks. I didn't know where the bully part of it came from. ohh... a Bull..... A bull's WHAT?! |
:sidesplt::sidesplt::sidesplt::sidesplt::sidesplt: This whole thread is cracking me up! I knew from an old thread what bully sticks were, but, i got such pleasure from calling up my sister, who didnt know, and telling her about it! She had been giving them to her pup all along. Youve got to understand that my sister is a girly girl, that never gets her nails dirty! So she was rather surprised!! I bet somehow she doesnt buy them anymore!!:D |
Well ladies your dogs enjoy them. And what could be worse is if you had the job of making these.....ha ha Just think about all the jokes those poor folks get over what kind of a job they have. |
I have to admit, I bought one, it is still in the cabinet. I just can't bring myself to give it to him, but I know he will love it.. BUT it is NOT going in my bed. LOL |
