Bully Sticks

What the heck are those. I thought bully sticks were something to use on aggressive dogs...I didn't know they were something to eat....

I hope this isn't out of line, but the "stick" that you are referring to is a breaking stick. AND it isn't used for "aggressive" dogs. It is used for any type of dog to break up a fight with a determined dog safely without getting bitten in the process. I have no idea what a bully stick is.

I don't think they're bad for them, but I wouldn't give them too often. lol They are, from what I understand, dried bull privates. hehe How do you say it just right?

Dried bull privates???? LOL, I have heard it all now! I never knew they sold those!

Ok, I looked them up! LOL Not what I was thinking of! Although very similar! Maybe they are different in Canada and the US, but this is what I read:

These are Bully Sticks

These lightly smoked, natural beef muscles become chewy when wet and provide a natural way to clean teeth. 100% digestible. Made by Redbarn Pet Products, USA

The ones I'm thinking of are just Bullies or something like that. LOL I just remember asking the store owner about them and when he told me I had to wash my hands!

Jenn: Thanks for clearing that up for me...I knew they were some kind of stick...but I didn't know what.

I know people that eat pickled bull privates...

We used to make them for the dogs. My sister used to work in a slaughter house and we would take the bull penises and dry them out. The dogs loved them. But that is exactly what a bully stick is. You have to think of it this way. The penis is a muscle. And I don't think they are going to put bull privates on the package. Muscle just sounds better.

O.K.... I guess I scanned these posts too quickly...you are telling me that it really is???? I thought "we" decided that was something else. ..Oh my gosh.. How horribly gross!!!!!!!!!

Paige · ~Grand Champion~ Gold Medal Poster!

Yeah. Think about it. Y'all said it was natural beef muscles. Well, guess what muscle it is? LOL Like I said are you going to buy something in the store that says bull penises or are you going to buy something that says beef muscle? Thats why I never give it to Oscar because I think it is gross. And hubby thinks its inhumane.

Here is a link. The part that reads. "These are natural products and size will vary" cracks me up.
