A pet lover or parent sees their pets as children and cares for them accordingly. That’s why they pamper their little pooches with plenty of treats and toys.

Among all bully sticks is one of the highly preferred treat types that has been keeping notorious pets busy all day long. However, veterinarians recommend giving away quality bully sticks to your pets. Still, conservative pet owners fear if it will be safe for their furry friend or not. If you are struggling with the same dilemma, then here is something for you.

Bully sticks: A forever happy treat for your furry friend

Giving your pup a bully stick for the first time can sound like a challenging thing. The reason is constant fear if the pet will be able to adjust to its taste or stiffness. For this, you must make some efforts to select the right kind of bully stick. Make sure you are opting for a larger size than your pet’s muzzle. This will help you eliminate the chances of your pet swallowing it.

If it is for the first time, try not to give it for more than 10 minutes. This is enough time for your pup to suck and ingest the bully stick’s high-quality protein. Your pup will definitely love its taste but licking it for more than 10 minutes may result in puking, upset stomach, or diarrhea issues. Therefore, give this treat for a limited time only.

Supervise your canine’s behavior 

One of the biggest mistakes that almost every pet owner or parent makes is they give a bully stick and forget their dogs. Here, make sure you keep a hawk’s eye on your pet’s behavior, chewing habits, etc. Consistent monitoring of dogs can help you avoid any unwanted behavior or accident. Moreover, constant chewing can result in cracks in bully sticks.

If your furry friend chews a few chunks and chokes it, this can end up in internal blockage or gastrointestinal issues. Keeping a watchful eye can help you avoid such unexpected events. This is the reason veterinarians recommend surfing through multiple guides of purchasing bully sticks for your little furry friend. Remain familiar with every ingredient or element used in the product to ensure the best one who relies on you. It is essential to inspect a product as the market is loaded with numerous poor-quality products as well.

The last word on bully sticks

Bully sticks are a preferred single ingredient treat for pets made to enhance their dental and muscle health. These sticks come in different forms, shapes, types, and quality making it easier for your pup to fall in love with them. All you need is to find out if it is the right age for your furry friend to hop on a bully stick or not. Here, consulting an experienced veterinarian is an ideal choice.
