Nature Gnaws Braided Bully Sticks for Dogs 5-6" (3 Count) - Long Lasting for Small and Medium Dogs - Natural Beef Dog Chew Bones - Rawhide Free

This thing smells like putrid death but my dog absolutely LOVES it. My dog is high energy and this keeps him calm and distracted for at least an hour.

Better than expected. I usually spend 8-12 dollars each for similar product at petco. It was getting highly expensive so I figured I'd give these a go. My dog loves them. I was so excited when they came today I didn't wait for him to finish the old one. He really likes them. If you have a finicky chewer these are great!For those of you that wonder these are the 5"-6" he won't chew smaller.He can chew through one in about 4 hours if left to do so. He is a heavy chewer. Splitting the braids he ends up with 2-3inch pieces after a 4 hour chew session. 5-6" is great for experienced chewers of small breed(7-10lbs) and best for pups between 12-40 lbs. The tiny ones are a good starting place for very small dogs with no experience chewing or limited in range of motion(puppies or teacup).This product is cleaned, dried, and braided bull penis(pizzle). It is the safest form of "bone" you can give to your dogs. Rawhide can cause digestive issues and in general isn't good for oral hygiene. The bully sticks are fully digestible and provide hours of entertainment. In my opinion(that of someone purchasing these products for years) Bully sticks are preferable to most dogs, 12 inch sticks are best for larger dogs between 60-120 lbs. Larger dogs would need a few of these to satisfy their chewing urges. If you don't like the smell that comes from the non-deodorized version they come deodorized. I do however think you will disappoint your pooch... it's a part of the chewing experience.

I love the idea of these bully sticks. As a pet parent who cares deeply about what my dogs eat, I don't mind paying a little more for wholesome food and treats. I bought my dogs a bully stick from the local Petco store, and they absolutely loved it! I thought when I found these, what a fantastic deal! Much cheaper than buying them individually from the local Pet place. My dogs loved them, no question about that. If you asked my dogs, they'd say 5 stars and give me another!! For me I just can not.The Pros:1. They are all natural2. For my 12 week old labrador retriever puppy this treat last a long time.3. No added homrones, preservatives, chemicals: again all natural.4. They are safe and not going to harm my dogs.5. My dogs love them.The Cons:1. The reason I did not give them 5 stars is because OMG do they stink! I stopped buying cow hooves for the same reason. Yes my dogs love them, but they reek in my house! Not an inside treat! I was sitting on my couch reading my book and my puppy was in here crate next to the couch eating it and I couldn't stand the smell. I have sever allergies so my nose isn't that great. So if it bothers me and I can smell it, than it REALLY is stinky!! I am not sure what makes them stink so bad and why the ones you buy at Petco don't. The brand I got from Petco was RedBarn, and they too are all natural, processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or colors, and are low in odor; I couldn't smell them unless I stuck them close to my nose.2. My 1 year old labrador retriever can get through one in a matter of minutes. So I am not sure eating through this so fast is helping his teeth or worth the money.

The dogs love them but they don’t last very long.

I have 2 dogs (Pomeranian and Shitzu ) 2 & 3 years old. My dogs go bananas for this brand. They are aggressive chewers and the thickness is perfect!I came across this brand cause Costco was selling a variety pack for $16 (pig ears, tendons, bully sticks). I seen both dogs loved the bulky sticks so much and I love it cause it is ALL NATURAL & NON TOXIC CHEMICAL FREE MADE IN THE USA.So important to research what we are feeding our dogs, their toys and treats.This brand by far is the best and absolutely understand why people are complaining about price. It’s QUALITY and peace of mind that I know my dogs are receiving THE BEST nutritional treat.I only buy the best for my dogs we only have a short time together so they are like my human kids.Fresh clean water everyday to pair with their treats. They can spend an hour just chewing which exercises their mouth and scrubs their teeth naturally.So thankful I came across this product

First time buying these and the smell almost knocked me out when I opened the bag! The dogs seem to like them though. I just hope they don't leave an odor on my furniture or rugs.

My yorkie loves these a lot. She even guards them from my other yorkies. So, I have to watch her with them but they are her favorite thing to chew on.

My dog ended up in surgery with a bully stomach lodged in her stomach. She had to have surgery which was almost $10,000 by the time she spent 4 days in the hospital
