Bully Sticks – Healthy Treats For Dogs
Bully sticks make excellent bullepees treats for puppies and even older dogs who love to chew. They are made from 100% beef, are low in fat and high in protein, and good for maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
Unlike rawhide or other treats which have materials that can break or be swallowed by dogs, a bully stick is made from 100% beef muscle, which allows it to be digested and processed in the dog’s system, just like normal food. Although a bully stick is not meant to replace the dog’s food, it is high in vitamins and minerals, and can be given daily as a healthy treat to help pets receive their daily nutritional requirements.
Also known as pizzle sticks, these treats can be found in most pet supplies stores and are available in numerous sizes, from just a few inches for smaller breeds to nearly a yard long for larger dogs. They can last from a few hours to a few days, depending on the size of the treat given to the dog. They can come in braided form, effective in working the dog’s teeth and jaw muscles. These sticks are guaranteed to give dogs a long and satisfying chew while removing tartar for great teeth and gums. Furthermore, pizzle sticks discourage pets from chewing on furniture or other belongings. To keep pets safe, it is important to choose a brand that doesn’t contain any additives, hormones, chemicals, and is USDA approved.
