Not all Bully Sticks are the same

Not all Bully Sticks are the same. Where they come from and how they are processed are things to consider. We primarily carry Bully Sticks from Top Dog - these are from free range South American cattle- which means that they cattle roam freely and graze on wild grass - there are no hormones, no antibiotics and no steroids involved, nor dyes or coloring used. These are vertically drained and then baked, a safer approach then sun drying, although more expensive. These sticks are not irradiated and are evaluated by the FDA and USDA after going through inspection by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture. Also it seems that thicker is not necessarily better.

Odor free? Well that's a whole other story. My take is - how did they get them odor free? My dog only likes things that smell so odor free would not cut it for him.

Other options for chews include Trachea - very digestible with a crunchy texture and high in chondroitin, which helps form and nourish cartilage. You can even fill them with peanut butter as an extra special treat.

Lamb chews - such as ears are lower in fat then say pigs ears - and great for small dogs. Also, Pizzles- the lamb equivalent of a bully stick and weasands are other options for the small dogs.

At Cause to Paws we try to carry a large selection of bones/treats/tendons to meet all types of chewers. Be sure to check it out the next time you are in the store.
