*I was provided with bully sticks from Best Bully Sticks in exchange for this post.

Did you know that February is pet dental health month? As a dog owner, I know that their dental health care feels pretty intimidating for me. Most dog owners that I know just don’t worry about their dogs teeth at all until something goes wrong but learning some facts about dog oral care might shock you – like how 80% of dogs have some sort of dental disease by age 3!

12 Crucial Facts About Your Canine

While keeping your dog held down to brush their teeth can be quite a work out, keeping plaque off of their teeth with bully sticks from Best Bully Sticks is easy. My dogs just love bully sticks and from chatting with other dog owners, that’s true for almost all of their dogs as well. They are just naturally drawn to them and it’s great that they have the added benefit of keeping dogs’ teeth clean. My dogs get anxious easily and chewing on a Best Bully Stick does wonders for calming them down.
If you aren’t familiar with bully sticks, they are made from the “private part” of a bull and they are an alternative to chews like rawhide. Rawhide is not digestible by dogs so if they don’t chew the rawhide into small pieces before swallowing, the piece can cause a blockage in their digestive tract and require surgery to remove it. My pug Frank in particular, likes to try to swallow food or treats before he has thoroughly chewed them (I really am not sure that he tastes most things that he swallows!) so for him, rawhide would be a really dangerous chew. So, my dogs use bully sticks instead and they last longer and my dogs get much more excited about them as well. It’s really a win-win-win.

We’ve tried bully sticks from a handful of different brands and Best Bully Sticks stand out to us as unique for a few reasons. At BestBullySticks.com you can choose between thin, standard, thick and monster bully sticks that are 6″ long. They have strict guidelines for which bully sticks fall into which category so you don’t have to worry about buying a group of bully sticks that has one normal sized piece and a ton of hair-thin ones which is a common occurrence in some other brands. I love how all of the bully sticks were a very standardized size with very little variation between them. This allows me to get the exact size and shape of bully stick that’s right for my dogs.

The other way that Best Bully Sticks seem different is how firm they are. They are quite hard to the touch until they – they seem more compact than other brands. These bully sticks seem to last my pugs longer than other brands and I think it’s because it takes them a bit longer to soften the bully stick down because they are so firm to start with which means more chew time for the money which I love.
