Are Bully Sticks Safe for Dogs?
Bully sticks are widely considered one of the healthiest and safest chews for dogs, but only if they’re made by a reputable manufacturer. When choosing the best bully sticks for dogs, be sure to go with Bully Bunches! Our bully sticks are 100% digestible, single ingredient, and are made without harmful chemicals. Our bully sticks for puppies are suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs and do a great job of keeping your dog busy while providing many health benefits. Please note that it is important to always supervise your dog while feeding them our treats!
What Are Bully Sticks Made From?
While we can’t speak for our competitors, we can say that our bully sticks are made from free-range, grass-fed cattle and contain only a single ingredient: 100% beef! Specifically, beef pizzle. Beef pizzle is jam-packed with nutrition and is one of the healthiest, long-lasting chews for dogs. Another added bonus is that this product would otherwise be discarded from human consumption, making Bully Bunches’ bully sticks for dogs a sustainable chew!
Bully Sticks VS Rawhide
Traditionally, rawhide is made from the skin or hide of a cow or bull. These hides are usually rolled into popular shapes before being bleached white and can sometimes even be held together by “edible” glue. Compared to bully sticks, rawhide is sounding pretty gross right now! In addition to its comparatively abnormal manufacturing process, rawhide is not fully digestible, meaning it can often cause intestinal blockages.
Bully sticks are a single-ingredient, 100% digestible chew. This means even if your dog were to swallow a piece, it would likely break down in the stomach without causing any issues. With that being said, we still recommend supervising your dog while feeding any chew. In the bully stick VS rawhide comparison, we vote thick bully sticks all the way!
Why do bully sticks smell?
What is it about a bully stick that makes them so smelly? These chewable treats can sometimes have a strong odor due to the dehydration and packaging process of the bull pizzle. Bully sticks from Bully Bunches contain no artificial additives and little to no odors.
How long do bully sticks last?
There are several factors that can determine how long a bully stick will last. Depending on the size of your dog, the type of chewer he or she is, and how long a bully stick is given, a bully stick will last anywhere between 15 to 45 minutes on average. Thick bully sticks and braided bully sticks tend to last longer. That’s 15 to 45 minutes of tail-wagging chewing that isn’t your shoes, couch throw pillows, or your fingers!
How many bully sticks would you give your dog per day?
Bully sticks are a calorie-dense treat, and many owners opt to give a bully stick to their tippy-tapping tail waggers once a day. Any more than that might lead to pet obesity and possible health complications later in their years. While chonkybois are still great, we recommend sticking to the one-a-day recommendation!
When should I give my dog a bully stick?
You can give your good boy (or good girl) a bully stick whenever you like! We recommend treating them after a long walk, a long training session, or after a few belly rubs! Just remember to choose smaller beef bully sticks for puppies and use larger braided bully sticks for adult dogs!
