These bully sticks have been a game-changer for my 55-pound pit bull who is quite the aggressive chewer. They’ve successfully kept her occupied for about an hour, sometimes slightly more, which has been especially helpful during gatherings or when I need to leave her with a sitter due to her separation anxiety. Unlike other so-called “monster” bully sticks that turn out to be long and thin, these are genuinely thick. I was impressed by their robust size right out of the package. Given their effectiveness, I’m considering upgrading to the 12-inch version for even longer-lasting distraction during family events. These are only given to her occasionally, so they remain a special treat that keeps her content and tired after chomping down on one.
