Common Questions

What is the typical lifespan of these bully sticks?

They typically last from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the dog's chewing habits and the environment.

Are these bully sticks safe for all dogs?

They are generally safe but may not be suitable for smaller dogs due to their design and some subtle quality degradation and hardness.

How do these compare to other brands and historical versions?

While the quality was once very good (historically), the thinner product seems to be developed by the original company at cheaper rates. The lapsed users feel a negative quality transformation over the course of time.

Highlighted Reviews

"My dog loves these round chews . He pokes his paw through it like putting on a bracelet and just starts chewing. It really satisfies his need to chew."

— Lou

"Ordered 5...received 2...no credit for the difference. Items that arrived are small, thin, and overpriced for what was received."

Bottom Line

While some dogs enjoy these bully sticks, the overall customer experience is not great. The price and fragility greatly impact the likelihood of repeat purchases.
