[viviansnickers]

Ann....the closest place that has the himalayan is like 45 min from me. GEEZ!! I wanna try it, read up, and it looks cool and healthy!!

I just can't do the the bully weiney! NEVERRRRRR, Snick loves his petstages orka and plastic nylabone. But he will never chew for more than about 10 min.

Maddiesmommie....Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! I should update that thread and mention Snick is basically pooping 1 time a day now...no joke! LOVE IT!!

I buy mine from the same member AMD, here on YT, because they came so highly recommended. I must tell you that he loves those bully sticks.

No, your pup isn't missing out on anything because of don't want to give bully sticks. I would guess that it is in dog food though...

My deprived doggie gets nothing except for raw veggies for chewing and nothing at all right now. She just has too many health issues for chews. But she isn't a big chewer and I like that I don't have to worry about her choking.

OMG y'all....I am almost wetting myself here reading this thread. I freaked out too when I found out what they are made from. I am going to try the dude on Ebay that was reccomended. I hate the smell too. I have given Daisy Mae the braided ones and they came apart to easy. I am going to try just the sticks and maybe the curled ones too.

Good luck...just let your baby have a penis to chew on..it's o.k.!! (sorry)

lol well I learned something new. That just grose

[fadeddenim]

i used to give my yorkies bully sticks up until my breeder told me that she had a customer who gave their yorkie bully sticks and the yorkie ended up choking on it and died. she said a healthier alternative are those "greenies" dental chews because they break down easier and are easily digestible.

i've been giving those to my yorkies as chew treats. since she told me that horror story i've been scared to use them.

I have to let you know that my friend gave her Westies Greenies and one of them had to have a $2000 surgery to have it removed from the intestines because it got stuck!! I would never use greenies, there have been more cases of this happening to other doggies as well. For my friend, it was have the surgery or let the pup pass away!!!!! Terrible, of course they had it, but OMG!!!!

I think I will just stick to my sweet potato chews and petstages toys. Nothing is safe!!!!!

OMG thank you for saying this. I too had NO IDEA they were bull willies. As I'm reading this thread last week I'm thinking to myself "Wait a minute. My label says Beef Tendon". Now I know many have called willies many different names over the years, but Beef Tendon was never one I heard before. Not to mention I was beginning to think I needed another anatomy lesson, about 4 decades too late!

I am not too familiar with these bc I don't give them to Maddie. However, all this penis talk got me to searching ...I DID find sites (Bully Sticks,Rawhide,Bones, Greenies, Jerky Treats, Pig Ears and other Fantastic Dog Supplies) that said: "Bully Sticks are 100% Bull penises, Not a tendon, and not processed meat strips. Bully Sticks are dried, lightly smoked or natural flavor and delivered to your door. We never try to hide what they are by giving them little cute names."
Another site, (Bully Sticks – All Natural Dog Treats - Best Bully Stick) did not list thier ingredients only said they are made from grass feed Brazilian bulls, so using bulls makes me think they too use weenies.
I have nothing against using them....I just can't! SHEWWWY
It may depend on where you purchase from as to what is in them.

They really aren't nasty at all. They feel like a smooth, clean bone and you can't even tell they were a weinie at one time . Some are too smelly even for me (& I'm not that sensitive to it), so I would recommend you start with some from Westbrook (AMD I think is her username) or another site that has a reduced odor on their sticks. I like Merricks, too but they've gotten so expensive.

Oh, let her try just one! Westbrook offers a free sample......
