Bones & Chews Braided Bully Stick 6" Dog Treats

Okay so I used to love bully sticks. And my dogs still love them. I have recommended them to countless friends and clients. However these past couple years we have started to notice dogs getting diarrhea with the only common denominator being bully sticks. They are expensive so I don't buy them frequently but my dog turned 1 years old last week so I thought we would try again. Sure enough, all three of my dogs got rocket butt. Sorry to say i'll be looking for a different chew both for my own dogs, and people who I recommend dog products to. (Disclaimer: adding something new to your dogs diet can always cause diarrhea.

She finally took bully sticks out of the equation and it went away. Reintroduced again later and the diarrhea came back.) … more

I have to say I was very upset these did not keep my dogs occupied very long at all. Other bully sticks I buy keep my dogs busy for hours! I bought these, I assumed, because they were braided, it would take my Giant Schnauzer longer to consume. Nope! She ate them even faster then other single, straight bully sticks. I am not even sure these are true bully sticks in my opinion or maybe they are processed different than every other brand I’ve bought, but I won’t be buying again.

Should have read the reviews as I am now seeing several that say these do not last long.. I saw this product had a decent rating and the description wording "a very long-lasting chewing experience". I was seeking a product that would keep my dog occupied for at least an hour as he is a stronger chewer. It took him maybe 10 minutes to fully devour one of these. Was definitely mislead by the product description which is frustrating. My dog did enjoy the treat and it seemed nice, I am just not a fan of the dishonestly in what they are portraying this as.

My 55 lb. 2 year old Aussie is a picky eater but devours these. It takes him about 15 minutes to eat one. They smell a little funny to me but he loves them! A little pricey but I like that they are made in South America and not China. They are a good weight, width and length. I have ordered them twice before and I will continue to keep them in my monthly autoship order.

You Must buy & try this product! Our standard schnauzer is 7 years young and hadn’t slowed down her immense love of the chew! While finally Sox & slippers are no longer of interest & stuffed toys have ears and noses attached Jo loves nothing better than the chance to chew! Ahhh present the bully stick! 6 inches lasts less than 10 minutes but she is delighted each time!

I gave each of my Miniature Poodles one of these chews. All 3 chews were devoured in less than 2hrs, and that’s only because one is a slower chewer than the others. I couldn’t imagine trying to give these to my strong chewing Border Collies. Very disappointed.

I decided to try the braided sticks thinking that they would be stronger and last longer than straight sticks. Very wrong. Within FIVE minutes my mini goldendoodle had it un-braided into three separate skinny sticks and completely ate one of the three. I don’t even know if he chewed it or swallowed it whole. Also they arrived much shorter than expected. We will switch back to straight ones, if at all.

I have a new puppy chewing on anything and everything....plus an old dog with bad teeth...old dog only got to keep his chew for a couple minutes, Bella literally ate all three Bully Sticks in less than 30 minutes. I thought being braided they would last longer but alas no!

I would recommend the 6 inch bullysticks for small dogs such as a chaweinnie but beware they won't last long. I was hoping these sticks would keep Winnie busy for at least a half hour. :) No such luck! :) Good product but a tad bit spendy.

I've been trying to find something the consistency of a rawhide that wasn't made with formaldehyde, but I'm struggling. These don't smell as strong as some of the cheapest ones, but I can clearly smell formaldehyde. I am assuming this is tanned leather from a factory.
