Bully Sticks

What are they...really?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

According to a recent study at Tufts, bully sticks contain 9 to 22 calories per inch.

Pffffttt...sure wish Reese's Peanut Butter cups only had 9-22 calories!( per bite) ;)
Enzo can afford the extra calories for now...she'll run and play that off in a afternoon.
Thanks for the link!

I too read about the calorie intake, but Enzo can afford the extras. ( Better her than me!)

I agree! Miah will work off the calories easily. It's a small price to pay to satisfy her instinct to chew. Much cheaper than buying new cabinets. I'm more concerned about dog food that lists ingredients such as "rendered meat". That could be road kill or pretty much dead carcasses from any source. Since Miah has such a sensitive stomach, we've been making her food. She seems to be doing better and we know exactly what she's eating.

Sounds like a win- win situation! :)

wow thanks for the link.  Im going to buy them in bulk as they get so pricey individually. 

Never knew they were high calorie. One a week?

I know I'm a little late to the conversation, but I had wondered how they could charge so much money for a "junk" piece that would be thrown away normally. Growing up on a farm, our sheepdogs loved when it was time to band the calves and lambs. They would bring us tiny little lamb testicles, lamb tails, cattle testicles, and of course dig up any and all hooves from other pastures. Now i go to Pet stores and see bully sticks, antlers, and hooves. All of these are free to me if I make a quick trip home, but they would quite certainly add up in price were I to purchase them all! My mind was blown! Supply and Demand I suppose. On a positive note, our little George won't be here until January. Of course he already has half a dozen nice sized antlers, 8 hooves, and a few REAL cattle and lamb ears (on the way). All thanks to Grand"paw". :)
