Frequently Asked Questions
When Can Puppies Have Bully Sticks?
Generally, puppies can start having bully sticks around 3 to 4 months, that’s when their baby teeth are developed and they have more control over chewing.
At this stage, bully sticks can be especially beneficial, as they help relieve teething discomfort while providing a chewable activity that keeps puppies entertained.
Are bully sticks safe for puppies and senior dogs?
Absolutely! Bully sticks are safe for both puppies and senior dogs when you choose the right size and supervise chew time. For puppies, we recommend thinner options like our Thin Bully Sticks, while for seniors, we focus on softer textures that respect sensitive jaws.
How often should I give my dog a bully stick?
It's best to limit bully sticks to 1-2 times per week to maintain a balanced diet and avoid excessive calorie intake. Always choose the right size for your dog and remove small pieces to prevent choking issues.
How long do bully sticks typically last?
Most dogs will chew through a bully stick in under an hour, though this varies based on your dog's size and chewing habits. The duration also depends on the thickness and length of the stick you choose.
Can bully sticks help with dental health?
Yes! The natural chewing action helps scrape away plaque and tartar buildup while promoting healthy gums. It's a tasty way to support your dog's oral hygiene between regular dental cleanings – especially important for senior dogs who may be more likely to have dental issues.
