Both great suggestions. Sometimes the bully sticks can have a pungent odor so you may want to look for those that say “low odor” and only buy those from the USA. I think the biggest problem with bully sticks is that once they have one they are spoiled for everything else.

I always had one for Kapone from day one, it was a life saver. If he tried to chew on something it got replaced with his bone. My dogs still get them, I just have the butcher cut them to the proper size I have a pomerainian and also a westie so different sizes.
I also froze them and after a bit of chewing back in the freeze, it’s great for teething puppies, the cold sooths those sore gums.
Yes for the first couple of times by then they are so cleaned off and the marrow is gone, that I let them lay in a basket and they will go and get them out when they want them .
David started piling them in his dump truck and he would park them in the corner, but then he would get upset when Kapone would go and empty the truck.
David would chase Kapone to try to get it back, well that was all the funner for Kapone. If he can keep something from David and have him chase him. he trots through here with his tail in the air all proud and stays just out of reach. LOL

Yes, same here.. both Lindy & U-Rock get a couple each week.
And when the hole is empty, I put some peanut butter in it & the fun begins again.
Josie, I tried the bully sticks & both dogs obviously don’t know how to chew on them. They both tried to swallow them whole & just about choked on them. I’ve returned them to the store & am sticking with the marrow bone. It’s safer for them & gives them hours of chewing.

Thank you so much for your quick reply! I asked the butcher to cut 4 for me, and they’re in the freezer now. I can’t wait to see him enjoy it later!

If your dog is eating all of that marrow, it can also be very fattening.

The frozen carrot has worked well for us! WTRanger found it great to chew on but great to play with too! It’s a win-win! Hoping to add the femur bones to WTRanger’s treat list soon.

Kirsten, you know WTRanger’s going to LOVE the femur bone, too!
How are the nights going with Ranger? I had to get up once the first night, then 3 times last night, but he slept for almost 10 hours.
Last night he went to bed around 2200 and woke up for a potty break at 0530. Then back to sleep until 0730. The first night I took him out about 3-4 times – mostly out of paranoia I think.
Hold on to yer hat! 🙂
From bullysticks4dogs.com
Bully sticks, also known as beef pizzles, pizzle sticks, beef sticks, steer stix, are made from 100% bull penises. Bull penis is a single ingredient of bully sticks. Some suppliers and merchants say that they sell bully sticks made of “beef tendons” or “dried muscles” as that part of the anatomy is a tendon and muscle indeeed, and this may sound less repulsive for some people with psychological barrier thinking of feeding bull privates to their furbabies.
In the beginning of manufacturing process the bull’s penis that is usually 23-25 inches long, is removed and cleaned. It is hung vertically for the fluids contained to fully drain. Without these fluids bully sticks are odor free. At the next stage of processing bull penises are stretched, twisted or braided, dried and then may be smoked for flavor. The result is a 30-40 inches long very hard brown stick which is cut into pieces suitable for dogs of any size.
Much more than we needed to know! LOL :-0
Holy cow, how in the heck would someone think to do this with one or several..look how bit the get and hey look we can braid them too!! LOLOLOL I’m sorry.
Oh Juliw, did yours still have Juices??? OMG ,HAHAHAHAHA
Ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooo. Seriously they are odor free if all the juices have been trained? I feel a little sick. I hope Michelle doesn’t read this

@Beverly Isa adores carrots. When she was a puppy, I used carrots to train her to come inside. “Isa! Inside! Carrots!” To this day, (she’s two) she will dash for the door when we tell her, “Inside!” even if she’s having a great time playing outside.

OMG, if you only knew about the party I just came from. Dan and I were at a party for the end of our Spanish class and talking about masculine and feminine nouns. I made the rather large mistake of saying that I expected something like a pencil to be masculine because of the shape. I killed the party and everyone stopped talking because of the rather obscure reference. Perhaps at the next party I should bring up the bully sticks. You are my kind of people. 🙂@Al & Karen
I am afraid I will be kicked out of chuch if I even try but I do plan on thinking about it to myself.

I was trying to watch a cooking show when I read that, I rewound it 4 times trying to see one particular recipe,, but I couldn’t get this out of my mind enough to pay attention. LOL
So then Al comes home and brings pizza, while he is eating, I decide to read it to him, well as I am reading it to him, I am realizing just how many “wrong” turns this conversation could have taken, I start laughing so hard I was crying and I couldn’t even see to finish reading it.
I needed a good laugh like that. When I got to Kirstens post of how sad for the bull, it just pushed me over the edge..not sure why but it did.
I’m with Julie, what is wrong with those people?
Oh can you imagine if we all got together in one place? LOL

Julie, the comments above are why I love your blog! I’m learning, laughing, and placing an order for braided bully sticks! I don’t want to risk any damage to Dutch’s teeth, even though there were a few times I wish he didn’t have any. I found 30 six-inch braided bully sticks for around $20 plus $7.95 shipping (TDBBS). I plan to give him one if I have to go out and leave him in his crate alone. Is that safe, by the way? Can he choke on them? I also plan on is to use them to stir up conversation and loosen people up at parties!
Beverly, as someone who has raised many bully-stick connoisseurs, don’t bother with the small braided models. Purchase your bully stick at least 12″ and as fat as possible.
Batman can tell you! He happily gnawed on a fat bully stick that was over 12″ long. The 6″ braided model would be gone in no time. When the stick gets down to about 3-4″ I take it away. When the stick is full size, I don’t worry about leaving it in the crate with a little pup. As with any chew, you need to supervise.
I’ll look to see if I have a photo of little Batman with his bully stick.
If you have a country max store, they have them at ususally the best price (or if any of your friends/family are hunters they may also part w/their deer antlers.
My dogs Love the Antlers, we usually keep those in the car in their kennels for when we travel, which is quite a lot.
Yo could probably order from on line , Julie use to carry them, so she may know. I recently got some from a friend, from a deer he had gotten.
Beverly

Unfortunately, I don’t have to look far for antlers – they’re mounted in several rooms in our house.
And, UNFORTUNATELY, they are out of Dutch’s reach! (Mule deer, white tail deer, caribou, elk, etc.)

On the subway back from the pet store with a bag full of things for Batman to chew on:
Bully sticks, 12″
Dried beef trachea (only last an hour, but cheap and good distraction while grooming him)
Elk antler
Rope booda bone (to soak in broth and freeze)
Raw frozen buffalo marrow bones. They are a few bucks more than beef bones, but have less fat and more protein. They are 15% max fat vs 25% according to Primal.
The only problem is, it’s messy, so he has to enjoy it out on the balcony. When he wants to come back in, I give him the bully stick. I got the Bravo brand bullies this time — unlike Red Barn, the Bravo bully sticks are odorless!
He is tethered to me, chewing his bully by the sofa now, and I can’t smell a thing.
That should be okay. Have you had any luck finding bully sticks?
Frozen carrots is also a puppy favorite.
Both great suggestions. Sometimes the bully sticks can have a pungent odor so you may want to look for those that say “low odor” and only buy those from the USA. I think the biggest problem with bully sticks is that once they have one they are spoiled for everything else.

I also froze them and after a bit of chewing back in the freeze, it’s great for teething puppies, the cold sooths those sore gums.
How do you keep your house from getting a mess w/the raw marrow bones? Confine them to the kitchen?
Yes for the first couple of times by then they are so cleaned off and the marrow is gone, that I let them lay in a basket and they will go and get them out when they want them .
David started piling them in his dump truck and he would park them in the corner, but then he would get upset when Kapone would go and empty the truck.

That’s awesome. This is a great treat. Marrow bones are good but then can damage their teeth chewing on them.

What is a bully stick and what is it made of?
It sure isn’t sugar and spice and everything nice! 🙂 Ha ha ha! I really do find myself to be clever…
You are. It would be a riot to get you and Josie together along with Andrew and Lily. Yep that would be really fun(ny).
Hold on to yer hat! 🙂

You definitely need to incorporate your bully stick knowledge into the party conversation.

Deer antlers are also wonderful.
Deer antlers are not as conversational as bully sticks. Where do you get them?
If you have a country max store, they have them at ususally the best price (or if any of your friends/family are hunters they may also part w/their deer antlers.
Ok, gotta go cancel that order, and get a 12″ stick!
I want all of you to know I am using
oops…using A Lot of restraint today. LOL
