Woody Taylor Webboard User Reg: 01-05-2006 Posts: 134 Loc: Minneapolis, MN Offline	Hi, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong subfolder of discussion.... I've been searching the archives for different threads around bully sticks, and have not found them. Can you all provide some feedback about bully sticks as general "keep them occupied" chew toys? Annie seems to love them, particularly the woven ones, and they keep her occupied. I have not noticed any impact on either her appetite or her stools. Just wondering if there were some perspectives, pro or con, on them. And I have no idea about their caloric content, fat/protein/carb composition, etc. Thanks in advance, have a good day. Achtung!

Well, I buy them. The ones I get are just steer muscle, smoked a little. My dogs will keep one going for many hours (days in the case of the little dog), so I don't really consider them to be a real part of the diet. If your dog isn't swallowing chunks whole (which could present a choking or intestinal problem), and is chewing on them the way they are meant to be used, and if you're buying some brand that is actually steer muscle.......is that enough caveats? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.........then why not? I haven't had a problem. If anyone else has, then I hope they'll post.

I sometimes freeze them to make it more challenging. I will also buy the super long ones <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> and cut them inhalf with the lopping sheers.
