Bully Sticks - Thank you Sam!

Sam brought with him from the US a bag full of bully sticks after I asked him to help me get some for the dogs. Even packed in a ziplock bag, Kiya could smell it. I don't usually give out treats (that's S' job which he will not willingly relinquish), but I could not resist. Kiya chewed and ate her first bully stick in less than five minutes. Louie? He picked it up, dropped, licked, and sniffed it, but did not venture to chew it. So I took it away. Bully sticks are too precious to be wasted.

I don't know why bully sticks are not sold in local pet shops - yes, they're not just any dog treat. They're, ah, dried bull penis. But for a dog, there is nothing yummier. And, unlike some other dog treats, such as smoked beef leg bone, or rawhide, which are very, very dangerous for your dogs (splintering in stomach, etc), bully sticks are safe. Other dog treats you find in pet shops are nothing more than kibble, to be honest. I think us humans are all suckers for packaging, and if a company packaged kibble in a treat bag, we'll buy it.


So, sometimes Louie ignores the bully stick (gasp!).





But most of the time now, he does chew on it and eat it up.










Louie takes anywhere from ten minutes to more than one hour to work on a bully stick!



Kiya, of course, could not take more than fifteen minutes, at most, on one.




She knows how to use her paws to handle the bully stick.







Our supply of bully sticks is dwindling. Maybe I could do a bulk order, so if you want to be adored by your dogs, let me know.
