Bully Sticks

Bully sticks are made from bull penises. Yes, you read it right, and it’s not a typo! Some owners may be uncomfortable with this, but these are the crème de la crème of chews, stinky and disgusting enough to be loved by pretty much every dog. Bully sticks are a single-ingredient product, 100% natural and much safer than rawhide chews. They’re softer than bone but still tough enough to last a long time.

Pizzles (another slightly more inviting name for them!) are fully digestible and chewing them is good for dogs’ teeth and gums. The action of chewing will remove some of the plaque build-up on teeth (although nothing can replace tooth brushing for good oral hygiene).

The fantastic thing about pizzles is that they are almost 100% digestible, which means they will break down easier in your pet’s system than rawhide will, making them less likely to cause any blockages in the stomach or intestines.

Other, equally delicious treats such as pigs ears, rabbits ears, pigs snouts and pigs trotters are also available.

Advantages of Bully Sticks

There are definite advantages to choosing bully sticks over rawhide, especially in terms of safety:

• Are an all natural, long-lasting dog treat.
• Break down quickly in the stomach, rather than causing swelling in the gut (as rawhide may do).
• They’re easier to digest than rawhide and many other commercial chews.
• Are very good for the teeth and gums. The chewing process aids the removal of plaque build-up on the tooth surface.
• Are very low in carbohydrates because they are primarily protein. Because of this, bully sticks cause less plaque build-up.
• Are low in fat and combined with the high-protein content, this makes them an ideal treat for overweight dogs.
• One of the most popular and safest treats available on the market.
• Even young puppies, which are advised not to chew rawhides, can chew bully sticks.
