So, what are bully sticks? I had heard they were made from bull penis, but wanted to be sure before I printed this surprising fact. Yes, indeed they are! (Sorry if I shocked you)
I learned some other things during this quest that have me thinking that now is the time to find a replacement for bully sticks.
- Some bully sticks are made in USA, others imported
- Made from bull penis - it is dried, twisted, and braided
- Some is cooked, some is smoked, some is air dried
- Inexpensive & highly competitive
- Popular with owners of puppies and small dogs
- Safety controls are loosely monitored
