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. Our beef pizzle for dogs 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’ beef pizzle 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 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.
Dog 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 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 odour due to the dehydration and packaging process of the bull pizzle. Dog bully sticks from Bully Bunches contain no artificial additives and little to no odours.
How Long Do Bully Sticks Last?
There are many factors that contribute to how long a bully stick will last, so it varies greatly from dog to dog. Dog size, breed, age, food motivation, chew style, jaw strength, as well as the thickness and whether or not it's a braided bully stick all play a part in how long it will last.
In order to keep our products consistent from batch to batch, we sort and measure them by weight. We're unable to say how long our bully sticks would last compared to another brand if they do not categorize their bully sticks the same way. We do this because density matters in a bully stick. Another companies bully stick may not be long lasting even with a wide circumference, because if it's not dense a dog will be able to chomp right through it. For longer-lasting treats, try our braided bully sticks!
When Should I Give My Dog A Bully Stick?
You can give your goodboi (or goodgirl) a bully stick whenever you like! We recommend treating them after a long walk, a long training session, or after a few belly rubs!
Are Bully Sticks Good For Puppies?
Bully sticks are a highly delicious, nutrient-dense treat that is great for dogs of all ages. Bully sticks are a great treat to give to teething puppies because they will give them something safe to chew instead of your furniture. So yes, this means that puppies can have bully sticks as well as all other treats that we offer here at Bully Bunches!
