I just realized what a bully stick is....

yes I know... I should have known... but I didn't.

I always just thought they were dried tendons..... and seeing as has how I never actually bought them before.... it just never clicked.

Well, at my training facility they sell stuff...collars, leads, training aids, treats... bully sticks.... Muffin was sniffing the box of the bully sticks, so I was like, "oh you want one, ok we'll get you one." Turns out he really likes them.... so I buy a big bag of 24 from the feed store....

then I read the "ingredients"

:rofl1:

I can't beleive your only realizing that now :rofl1:

Shocking isn't it !!!

aww... soo sorry!

I just try to pretend thats not what it is, LOL.

i always tell people who ask who arnt dog people that there "bull tendon"...
if i told folks what they realy are i dont think any of my frineds would ever shake my hand again lol.

If you want tendons, you need to buy the treats that are called "tendon", not the ones called "bully sticks". :rofl1:

CP, yes, now the name "bully stick" has a whole new meaning to me....

........ *shutters* and he likes them SOOOO much.... blech! I guess I have a whole slew of new "not so nice" things to call him too. LOL.

Xpaeanx,

You are not the only one in the dark. I not only am unenlightened about what bully sticks are. I thought they must be raw hide. But I have an additional missing link here.


What is steer pizzle? :rofl1:

:lol-sign: well, it comes from a bull, and not a cow...

I too just try not to think of what they are. Mia is curled up next to me, chewing a steer pizzle right now...

:lol-sign:

I tell people all the time. They just don't believe me

I personally enjoy asking my husband to pick up a few bully sticks at the pet store.....he has yet to actually do it! :rofl1:

Oh I have great fun with friends when I give Finn one when they're over. I tell them my dog likes penis... and give him one.

I'm awful. (He's nomming on one rigt now, happy happy boy!)

I think it's hilarious and enjoy telling people what it is, lol.

When I told the guy I was dating what a bully stick was, he said, "Wait, I thought Bailey was a boy?!?!?!" :yikes: I can see why guys find it less humorous than I, I admit.

Oh my god.

I didn't know that.


My dogs don't eat them.


Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

You mean...it's his wingwanger? Say it isn't so. You aren't serious!

Very!

Yup and that's no bull !

So, are these not apt to cause a blockage, like with raw hide? Are they perfectly safe? I am really getting excited about the prospect of buying some bully sticks. Are they expensive? My poor dogs only get Nyla bones and Kongs, which they don't like unless there's food inside. I did give them a little raw turkey neck yesterday and Toker threw up in the middle of the night and Jose` had messy poo poos. They need something fun to chew on.

Okay...so I looked it up...how they are processed! So, they don't come from a steer. They make a bull into a steer. How sad is that!
