Does any one feed their pups bully sticks, I have been told their good treats for dogs and can help keep teeth and gums clean and they are good source of nutrients.

Gina, my pack LOVE bully sticks. They get one each, per week. But if they had it
their way they would eat them all day, every day! I never met a dog that did
not like bully sticks, and I like the fact that they are a natural treat with only
one ingredient...bull penis. It's a great alternative to rawhide, which is difficult
for dogs to digest. Just like with any chew I suggest you never leave the dog
unsupervised with it, and take away the stick when it's down to almost nothing
to avoid choking. They are digestible and most dogs do fine eating a full bully
stick, but I like to play it safe, so once the pup is almost done with the stick,
I take away the remaining end. By the way, don't feed them on your couch or
bed, bully sticks have an odor that gets stronger once the stick is drenched in
your dog's saliva, the smell will penetrate the fabric and won't want to leave,lol.
So feed them on a towel, dog bed or crate, basically on something that you
could easily wash after. There are bully sticks that you can buy which have
almost no scent, because they were dried longer. From my experience though,
most pups prefer their bullies nice and stinky! haha Some think the smell is so
irresistible, that they'll even roll in/on them. Hope that answers your question,
now go get some yummy bullies!

Yep. What LS said! I haven't heard of a dog that doesn't like them. The one difference I would say is that Mylo chews on his a fair bit but he hasn't yet finished one, they last for ages here! He does go between chewing that and his cow hooves though.

We had a sheltie that broke a molar on cow hooves. Be careful! Probably was an old one. Mine all love bully sticks too.

I've heard they're not good for power chewers because they might break a tooth but Mylo doesn't really chew that hard. He should be fine Thanks for the warning

We just got a bully stick for Simcha - part of the six week training program, in this case for him to 'stay' on his special place mat while chewing on a desirable treat. I was fine with the concept until just now, when you divulged the secret ingredient. Ewwww.... gross.

Haha my parents were laughing pretty hard when I told them what bully sticks really were. Even my Grandma who grew up on a farm thought it was odd. I'm all for using an entire animal though, so I love them! Okay, I don't love them, but Odie does. They do have a... specific smell though, it's true. Odie knows that she's not allowed on the couch with them, but will sometimes try it and we just have to say "what are you doing" or "you're not allowed up there" and she totally knows what we mean and jumps down. What's even worse than the smell of the bully sticks are those fish rolls. Does anyone use those? I think they should be reserved to outside use only. Yuck!

I know you are disgusted, but I can't help but giggle. You know
apparently they are also "eaten by humans for their health benefits
such as being low in cholesterol and high in protein, hormones, vitamins
and minerals such as calcium and magnesium."
