Just as I started to ask if he knew what it was, he put it between his teeth and started teasing Tatum with it!

I was laughing so hard it took a minute to tell him what it was! Then he tried to kiss me (after spitting in the sink)!

I do believe we have a new favorite treat now. I'll have to look around and see what they are priced at other places because this store charged $2.50 for the 6" size.

YES- I would definitely keep her off your couch while chewing anything. We have a leather couch too. I am trying to train KimMee to chew on her blanket. It is a fleece quilted rectangle I can throw in the wash. If she gets on the couch I move her to the blanket or move the blanket to the couch. I think the chewing would stain your couch. Good luck

I give them to Kacee. She loves them and they last her forever.

Mine love them too but they are expensive so it is a special treat and rare.

Do they stain? I have light couches and a light carpet. Before i go buy these "muscles" i need to know that. She's choked on her rawhide after swallowing it because she thought i was going to take it away so it's time to take them away now. Just thought of what bully sticks are make me freaked out

I haven't discovered any staining from bully sticks. I have both a light colored couch and carpeting. Trace eats them on both. I'd say I have a bigger stain problem with the other PEOPLE that live in my house. Sometimes I even hold them for Trace (who is obviously spoiled if people HOLD his treats...LOL).

True rawhide is basically dried up skin from an animal that wasn't able to be used for clothing or whatever else.

Well I was refering to the suede couch mentioned- I think anything that a pup chewed on that couch would stain. I haven't noticed any staining from the bully sticks but then I usually have a blanket or pad when KimMee is chewing them.

I bought the Merrick brand 6" bully sticks from a local pet boutique and the girl sweared that Merrick ones are just made from tendons, not bull penises. I bought one from Petsmart once and it REEKED, but the Merrick ones just smelled like beef jerky. I just wanted to say that Loki devoured one of these in about a DAY and that's probably why it made him sick. He ran away from me and I couldn't catch him to take it away!! He is a violent chewer. Maybe we will try again. Or maybe he is allergic to beef? But man he LOVED it.

i just bought 4 of the bully sticks one for each and they are in heaven right now. only i have one that has eaten almost the whole thing already and they have only had them for less then an hour. the other's have hardly made a dent in their's . i sure hope she dosent get sick from eating it. it was a 5 inch single stick. man they are really exspensive . ive been trying to find something that will keep them busy seems like when i buy toys they have them destroyed in a matter of minutes or they pull all the stuffing out all over the place and then im the one that is kept busy picking it up. if i give them a greenie ( which is almost never now) they would have them gone in a matter of minutes. they even went through a nyla bone but i took it away when i noticed they were eating it. sure is quiet here right now .

KimMee's Mom · 01-26-2006, 06:20 PM

wow, i don't know what to say. I suppose there are many different bully sticks but it takes my pup a very long time to eat the bully sticks I buy.

chattiesmom · 01-26-2006, 06:24 PM

I give my three BullySticks and they love them. I buy the 12" and cut them in three pieces. I they are thicker and last longer, and I don't worry about them swallowing a hunk.

Jenn218 · 01-27-2006, 05:39 PM

I just bought a 7" Bully Stick (Dentleys Chewrite Choobles) - it was about $3 for one.

Here is what the label reads:
Veterinarian approved - for healthy canine chew habits - exercises teeth and gums
Caution: excessive use of this product may cause gastric upset
Supervise use of this product - wash hands after handling - This product may stain

Money back guarantee too!

Ok, I am going to ask a stupid question. Are these things actually labeled as Bully Sticks or are they labeled by another name. Just trying to keep from looking like a fool when I go in to get one.

They are called Bully Sticks. I'm not too sure if there's more than one brand. I only saw one at the store I bought from.

Yes, Aggie LOVES it! It's great. It keeps her busy for hours!

just kidding but that IS what they're made of...it's a muscle I guess.... technically .....or do we look at it as the brain of the bull like it is with most men ?

My girls LOVE them................. as they should !

That's just way too funny.

I have no idea and now I am not so sure I want to touch it.
