Product Description

WHAT ARE BULLY STICKS? Dog chews made from baked pizzles. “Pizzle” is an old German name for a bovine male organ. Thus, they are not bones or compressed rawhide. The only ingredient is beef muscle tissue. Please take this into consideration with your expectation of how long they should last.

WHY DO MOST BULLY STICKS HAVE A FUNKY SMELL? Compliments of Mother Nature. We think if folks understood pizzles once held a functioning urethra, they would be less shocked. Keep in mind, dogs love stinky things. Truth be told, some of us humans do too. In his book BURGUNDY, Anthony Hanson said: “Ça sent la merde. Great Burgundy wines smell of s#%t.” But seriously, odor is a small sacrifice for a few moments of enjoyment for your best friend. Our bullys are moderate odor relative to most, but if smell is a complete deal-breaker for you, get our odor-free bully sticks or steers.

WHY DO BULLY STICKS COST SO MUCH COMPARED TO OTHER BEEF CHEWS?

Rawhide is inexpensive to source. There is a large surface area of hide on both male and female cattle.
Tendons and bones are also sourced from both males and females too. Beef pizzle, however, can only be harvested from males.
Dense beef pizzles are only sourced from bulls. There is typically one bull per herd for safety reasons. The rest of the males are steers. So if 95%+ of males on a ranch are steers, you can see how difficult it is for manufacturers to acquire dense bull pizzle on monthly bases.
Once harvested, the delicate raw pizzle must be baked at a low, specific temperature for several days.
Worldwide demand for raw beef pizzle in the restaurant industry is at an all-time high. It is put in soups (sorry for that visual.)

Thus, your pup is getting a chew that is one of the most unique, sought after sources of protein on the market!

WHY YOU’LL LOVE OUR BULLY STICKS

OUR ASSURANCE OF IMPERFECTION: Perfect dog chews are processed with cheap fillers and artificial colors. They are then punched out of machines like hot dogs. Our bully sticks are hand-trimmed by humans. They will never be the same size, aroma or color. Every stick will vary, just as bull and steer pizzles do in nature. The photo you see is a general guide. You will be disappointed if you expect them to be the same every time you order. This is not a lack of quality control. It is our refusal to manipulate a product that is 100% natural. We grade sticks by weight more than circumference. This is a better measure of longevity.

OUR PRIORITY IS SAFETY: Sancho & Lola are our kids. We know you feel this way about your pups too. Our manufacturers must meet high safety standards. They have USDA, GSFI or BRC certified facilities. Some of our manufacturers have USDA human-grade facilities.

OUR PASSION IS NUTRITION: Many national brands contain ingredients that are known to cause inflammation in joints, skin, and organs. Artificial flavorings, GMO wheat, corn, soybean oil, carrageenan, synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT, bone meal (MBM) are all known to cause inflammation and contribute to degenerative diseases.

OUR GOAL IS REPEAT HAPPY CUSTOMERS: If your dog is not a fan of a particular batch, don’t sweat it, reach out to us and we will take care of you.

OUR STORY

Howdy. Sancho & Lola are my German Pointers found in bleak conditions. Since 2015, our little boutique brand from Texas has donated generously to canine rescues to help other abandoned dogs find forever homes too. When I adopted Sancho in 2011, it was clear he suffered from severe anxiety. The best thing for anxiety is exercise. The second best thing are dog chews. I gave him rawhide but they gave him a lot of tummy trouble. When I discovered that conventional rawhide is a by-product of the leather industry and made with chemicals, I looked for an alternative. Meanwhile, I was suffering from a painful joint condition doctors told me would never heal without surgery. After one disastrous knee surgery, I was done. There had to be a holistic solution. I was determined to find it. I gave up a 15-year career in the fine wine industry to study Functional Nutrition. I was appalled to learn that the low-fat, high-grain diet suggested to me by doctors in my youth was causing inflammation and contributing to joint pain in my 40’s. I was furious that the main ingredient in most conventional dog treats was grains. Dogs are carnivores. They are not meant to eat grains, especially genetically modified grains that look nothing like the grains our ancestors grew up with. This is why so many people and pets cannot tolerate them.

Customers are loyal to our brand because:

They know we are genuine people who love dogs.
They trust we will not use marketing gimmicks that insult their intelligence.
They relate to our passion for health and wellness through nutrition.
Our treats and chews are doggone tasty!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BULLY STICKS:

Are they safe to give puppies? Yes. They will satisfy their need to chew. But introduce slowly to avoid tummy upset. Start with our thinner sizes like these spirals or our steer sticks. If your pup tends to inhale treats, start with a 12-inch and remove when it gets down to 2-3 inches.
Can they give my dog loose stools? Yes, just like changing your dog’s food can. Some dogs have more sensitive digestive systems than others. Introduce slowly. Try adding canned pumpkin, ground flax seeds and plain yogurt to your pup’s diet. These aid in digestion and firm up stools.
Do they contain any known allergens? They are 100% beef – nothing else. As long as your dog can tolerate beef, they should not have any issues related to cheap grains and soy.
Where are they made? Our Traditional bully sticks are inspected and Made in the USA, but to secure year-round availability prices, our sourcing includes pizzles farmed in all North America. Our odor-free Charcuterie style bully sticks and steer sticks are strictly sourced from pizzles farmed in the USA.
How long will they last? 5 min to 5 hours. It is impossible to say since it varies on the size and chew power of your dog. Remember, bullys are just baked tissue.
How many calories? A good rule of thumb is 80 calories per ounce. Our 12″ thins average 1.1oz.
