I visited different websites and found quite a difference in the prices.

I ordered some and we'll see how they do. Bully sticks have almost doubled in price... getting to be too expensive.

I am so confused about chews! We have a few awesome pet stores near where we live, but so far none of the employees have small dogs... Today a sales person told me to buy American Bullie Chews...so I did and Xavier loves it! But I just googled them and they are bull "pizzle" (and yes, it is what you are thinking!

) and were recalled in July for salmonilla! I'm thinking I need to find another chew...

They are safe for the dogs now. The ones that were bad were from one certain place... the rest are ok.

Lucy is such an agressive chewer. I can't even find toys she doesn't destroy, but for some reason, the can't destroy these!

I just found out recently the Dogwell's are made in China

I think I'm going to look for a reasonably priced dehydrator this weekend and try making my own...Lucy doesn't like any of the other kind.

why is nylabone bad. I don't give mine the edible ones, i usually do the ones that are the durable. shes a little yorkie and chews almost as hard as her best friend keira, an 18 month old great dane.

We wont be giving any chews of any sort anymore. Despite supervision at all times, our pup is jsut barely coming out of the woods after a piece came off and lodged ( tore) itself into his esophagus an d became inflamed. IT took several ohours to work it out. and he has been on several meds to heal it and to try to keep the openign frmo gettin gtoo narrow and acids from eating awhole. HE still chokes on his soft almost liquid food. The hospital he stayed at for several days said they had seen this before even with greenies and bully stix and any chews for tiny breeds.

donnarod · 04-02-2008, 10:13 AM

I difinitely will not give any to Tricksie. Sorry for your baby.

Dogswell chicken treats are the ONLY treats Zeus will eat! When I read that they were made in China on here I did a little research and then even called the company. They told me that only the packaging is made in china and that the treats are made her using all US based ingredients.
I asked them why it was printed "Made in China" on the back of the bag and she said that even if its only the packaging or the label that comes from China they still have to put it on the bag!
I'm not sure what to make of this...it sounds kinda strange to me... I just thought I would share what I found out.
