| Bully Sticks Easy to Digest? Are bully sticks easy for them to digest? And what exactly are they? I just bought a few of them for my dogs.. BIG mistake. I only bought 3. 2 big long ones and 1 little one and I have 6 dogs.. They love them so tomorrow I'm headed back to the store! lol

Rawhide is definately awful and very dangerous. Also, which is better .. the regular bully sticks or the braided kind? Ok one more question! Only one more! Do these things 'go bad'? Bc I'm thinking about buying a BUNCH off ebay like in bulk deal thing but will they go bad after a while?

After just discovering these thanks to YT members I ordered a bulk amount off ebay also... WAY CHEAPER than $1.99 per stick at the petstore here.... I think that as long as they are kept in like a zip lock baggie or a sealed container they should stay just fine. My kiddos like the regular bully sticks... ... and I know the bull wee wee thing is wild, but hey whatever they like I guess. | |

I think that the regular thick bully sticks will last longer as the braided ones I have seen are usually made with *** from neutered bulls and aren't as thick, so they can chew them down faster. I would think they would last a long, long time as long as they are kept dry. I have been thinking about getting the bulk, too. the 200 four inch deal is the best on the bay, only about 7 to 8 cents an inch!!

| I was going to get Bull Stick from "Beyond Spoiled" (YT member) but since I wanted to throw away the one that has been chewed for few days, then I needed the cheapest Bull Stick I can find. The one I bought from the local store was $1.75 each and it was 6" or so and Momiji has been chewing for weeks and it is pretty gross!!! So I decide to buy from eBay since it is only 4" and $.30 each or so. I can keep switching to new one every week with this price!!! |

| I guess I'm the only one whose girls don't stay busy for hours with bully sticks and they also get sick off of them |

| The deals on ebay are awesome! I paid $5.99 for a 7inch stick for Harley at petco today! Goodness gracious! I'm definately going to buy in bulk off ebay Back to the original question though.. are they easy to digest? Because all my guys are going ga ga for these things and I want to make sure they'll be A-Ok to keep giving them out.

| I am assuming they are. All of my dogs chew bully's. The pups were gnawing on them at about 4 weeks. We have never had a problem and I have never seen any hunks in their poop. |

| Erm, there are so many kinds of these things on ebay! Pizzle sticks, jumbo sticks, short 1-5 inch sticks, super long sticks.. EEESH! Which ones!? I'm thinking the jumbo wide ones.. The pizzle sticks look like they could be chewed up more easily since their so thin.. True?

| If any of your babies get sick or get diarrhea while eating bully sticks, then it has to be the bully sticks. Mine got really bad diarrhea from those thing, and they didn't even want to eat their meals very well. I stopped giving those things to them and instead, they get femur bones. The just love those and they don't even eat them. |

some are made from penis and some from tendon. I've never had any go bad and I have bought literally hundreds of them! I tried the braided ones once and the girls just unbraided them and ate the single braids... go figure! | |
