So one of my dog trainers had advised us that bully sticks were one of the best treats for our puppy and that raw hides were very bad. Then one of my coworkers told me that his vet had told him that bully sticks were really bad for dogs. Any thoughts on bones, bully sticks etc? There is just so much conflicting information out there that it makes it difficult to know what the right thing to do for my puppy is. I do know that he needs something to chew on otherwise he starts chewing on stuff like the wall, us, our other dog, whatever he can find and locate which certainly isn't good for him either. In the yard he constantly finds sticks which I constantly take for him. He just wants something in his mouth all the time so I try to find things that acceptable for him to chew. We have plastic chew toys and kongs. He has zero interest in those. He does like bones and bully sticks though.
Any thoughts? Should bully sticks enter our ever increasing not allowed list?
At PetSmart there are also several natural bones in the bully stick section and we pick those up for him too. He actually has been chewing the same one for over a month (he does not have constant access to it, only when we allow) so it doesn't seem that he consumes them, just a lot of chewing.
