Bully Sticks ?? (bulldog, cost, bones, chews)

[ljd1010]

I've been told that Bully Sticks are the best thing for dgos to gnaw on as oppsed to any other type of rawhide chew, pigs ears, bones etc. Is this true? I've read that they are rather "unsavory" portions of the bull left after slaughter....they smell bad but my dog loves them. What's the real scoop?

Our Bulldog loves them. We always have some in the house for him. If you can overlook the fact that they are bull penises, then you'll have the best treat for your pup!

I was wondering WTH unsavory piece it was. Too lazy to look it up. Thanks for that Mak hehe. Wont be letting my dog chow down on a bulls donker any time soon :S

My dog lives for them, and they are much better than many chews as they will digest, if they swallow a large piece of one, unlike rawhide which is not healthy....some brands of bully sticks smell worse than others but I don't get that close to them :-).

Good to know

Man I could have lots of fun with this topic but somebody would crack me over the head with the banstick!

Thanks for the replies! Yeah, I knew from whence they came...lol. My dog is just crazy about them. They're pretty costly which surprises me. One would think they'd be inexpensive considering they come from "throw-away" parts......sorry guys. lolol.

For the dogs or into cheap generic brand weiners. (the 99 cent a package ones)

Thanks for the info - I think we'll be sticking with Nylabones

Just out of curiosity, where do "cheap, generic weiners" come from? Sounds a bit insulting to someone....

Was talking the human grade eaters that we always said had the waste meat,bones, whatever scraps they can toss in.

Ah - makes more sense -I thought we were still talking about Bully Sticks - whew! Sorry!
