Bully sticks come from the pizzle of the Bull, Buffalo and Steer. Typically they are sourced from grass-fed, and free raised cattle. This means that the cattle have been bred in a healthy manner and which gives many do parents peace of mind when choosing a dog chew for their pets. The majority of the cattle in which these treats are sourced come from large meat producing countries with very high production and manufacturing practices.

These chews are typically cooked/dehydrated to remove all moisture, and are highly digestible and do not cause any obstructions to the stomach like Rawhide. They also don’t contain any small bones, or shards that can possibly harm your fur baby. Bully sticks are also very high in protein content, and very low in fat. With a long lasting dog chew like these you can focus on anything you may need to do around the house while keeping them occupied.
