Bully Sticks

• They come from a single ingredient (bull pizzles).

• 100% natural

• Fully digestible & stomach-safe

• A low-fat chew treat

• Long-lasting, satisfies the urge to chew

• High in protein and packed with nutrients, like naturally occurring glucosamine (which makes them great for aging dogs)

• Good for dental health

• No preservatives or artificial colors

• More expensive. One 4” stick can run you as much as $1.50. Larger sticks can even cost upwards of $7 or more.

• Odor/Smell *Low-odor versions are available

• Even though they’re digestible, small pieces can still pose a choking hazard.

• Super aggressive chewers can burn through a bully stick in a short amount of time, and the calorie content can become a con.

• Satisfies dog’s chewing instincts

• Great for dental health

• Low in calories

• Ease teething pain in puppies

• No preservatives or artificial colors, compared to other dog treats
