Are they a necessity for yorkies? I have no idea where to get them in my area. My pet store doesn't carry them. Can you make them yourself?

Sure you can make them yourself.

Ingredients:

One bull,
Lorena Bobbitt knife
Dehydration oven

Seriously, they aren't a necessity but since yorkies are prone to tartar, you should give them a safe chewing stick, as it helps to keep their teeth scraped free of tartar. Bully sticks, unlike rawhides are 100% digestible, and therefore cannot cause an intestinal obstruction. You can buy them online, I get mine on e-bay, and only use the Merrick brand because they are 100% USA made. Drying the sticks is an important part of the process, and since many companies are importing from China, we feel safer using the Merrick brand.

Sometimes chew toys aren't digested and can cause intestinal blockages. However, bully sticks are 100% beef and 100% digestable and dogs LOVE them!!!

However, they are dried beef penis and that kind of freaks some people out.

Where in Canada do you live? I am just around London. Most Pet Values should be able to get them for you.

LOL..I didn't know they were made from a bull's penis!!

..I live in Labrador and we only have one pet store here, I guess I will have to look on ebay!! Thanks all for the input

Karrie · 06-04-2009, 05:27 PM

Ha! Yes, they are a great pacifier!!

I buy mine from a member here on YT - AMD. I think the company name is Westbrook? Some bully sticks have a real strong odor (very unpleasant) - but AMD's are good, clean, odor-less sticks. Highly recommended! I buy in bulk and freeze 'em.

Thanks!

I also recommend YTer, AMD. The dogs LOVE them and they do not stink like other bully sticks. She is on here but her web address is also westbrookdog.com. Your little one will love you for it
