BULLY STICKS... is this for real? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

avidscrapbooker · 06-23-2006, 11:51 AM

So maybe i'm a little naieve or just ditzy.I just went to www.bullysticks.com and in their ad it states 'our Bully Sticks are 100% bull penis'..... have you got to be kidding me, is this true? Gross. Maybe i'm just that out of it, but I assumed it was some sort of really hard beef jerky or something.

Yes it is true.

The ad is correct

Thats what they are....kinda gross.... but Ladys loves them, most dogs seem to enjoy them...and from all the post I have read on here about bully sticks they are the safest for them to chew on.

Merrick's are beef tendons. I don't think they are all the same. The merrick ones smell like beef jerky. I bought one at Petsmart once that smelled up the whole house and it was STINKY.

WHAT?! Are you KIDDING?!

This is freaking me out. Maybe I'm just a little naive as well. I have never given mine bully sticks, but I was considering it. I don't know how I feel about my babies having a penis of any sort in their mouths

I wonder what the neighbors would think if they came over and saw bull penises laying around

Whoops, Erin is right...there are all different kinds of bodily parts used for dogs to chew on.

avidscrapbooker · 06-23-2006, 11:57 AM

ERIN... do you order them directly from Merrick, their website? I was at PetSmart last night and picked up one of the little knotted end ones, about 4inches long, it was like $2.00... Is this the normal price? Just wondering if anyone knows where to purchase even online a little less pricey. My cockapoo devoured it in about 5 minutes! Not a chance for little Scrappy to taste

I LOVE these bullysticks posts!

I too recently was one of "you people" who didn't know what a bullystick was! I love people's reactions. IT'S WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

Erin · 06-23-2006, 12:02 PM

Yep I order straight from Merrick. I think they have a $25 minimum order but it's free shipping. I usually order 6 12" ones at a time, it's around $30. I give him about 1 per week. They are about $5 each. I buy the Merrick ones because they are made in America and they are not so stinky. I thought the Petsmart ones were gross. Oh, and yes Loki eats the 12" ones... he thinks the 6" ones are for wimps. I buy the 12" because I throw them away when they get about 2" left, so he gets more out of the 12" one!

I don't give my babies bully sticks only because they stink. . .. I ain't no kissing stinking babies

Instead, I give them these regular tendons/muscles that have no smell to it . . .I get it at an upscale petstore for 69 cents each . . .and they both love it!

avidscrapbooker · 06-23-2006, 12:16 PM

Tiggersmom... do the tenderloins you purchase have a name, does the petstore have a website? We just recently took away the rawhides, as i've learned they aren't good for furkids. So replacing them with a few different options is my goal.

That's what my girls get to chew on, i aint giving them no bulliesticks LOL

It always amazes me when some of you guys say your pups go through 'em so fast... The last 8-9" one Pixie had lasted her a good 2 months! I got her a braided one (three sticks braided into one, it's about 4 inches long), she's had it for a month and has barely put a dent in it!

She must not chew on it nearly as often as your dogs do....
Do you leave them out for them to have all day? I don't as I'm afraid she'll choke on it or something.. Am I being a little overprotective?
