i think i just posted this but my net cut out so if there are two threads on this topic feel free to delete on mods. Anyway Ive read a lot of good things on bully sticks and so when i went to the pet store i bought some for maverick as well as zukes mini naturals and canidae. so happy i found a store that sells the things that are good for maverick. Anyway i was wondering if it was ok to give them to maverick as a treat to keep him occupied in his crate while im at school. The pet store lady said she didnt think a dog was supposed to be left unattended with them but he loves them so im curious if anyone has tried them as a crate treat.

Thanks

Donya, I wouldn't leave one in if unattended...IMO anyway. Just in case he chokes on part of it or tries to eat it all in one! The only think I leave in Sadie's crate when we're gone are frozen kongs...Glad he likes the bully sticks  
We use Zukes mini naturals...is that the kind of treats you bought? They are great for training because they are small!

Last time at the pet store we bought a Zukes Ridge edible dental chew bone and let me tell you they are awesome!! The bone lasted for 4 days for about 45mins each day of hardcore chewing! And that's the medium sized one. No additives and great ingredients...check them out!

sorry, i am not help. I have never given Luther Bully Sticks before.

I havent given bully sticks either, but i dont think i would leave maverick alone with it strictly b/c of the possibility of choking.

hmmm i though as much, at least he gets a lot of entertainment from it all day long. Alexis, yea we got the mini naturals and they had a lot of the zukes brand stuff there as well as a ton of other stuff i would have bought if i hadnt controlled myself. Everytime i go in there i spend at LEAST $30 on extras i shouldnt but since Travis has been busy with work and stuff lately me and Maverick have been spending a lot of alone time together and I think all the extra tors and treats help him when he is missing his daddy.

I would recommend the bully sticks...they kind of look like a giant peice of beef jerky.

The only thing I leave is a kong.  I've witnessed Oggie choking on all kinds of seemingly harmless treats and chews.

We got Cosmo some bully sticks a couple days ago. He loves to eat them down halfway, then kind of gives up on them. Man do they stink when they're all wet and mashed up...

It will keep him occupied for about 1.5 hours, though... He is a smart boy, so we don't really monitor him 100% when he's going to town on one.

When bully sticks are chemically processed they stink, I always get the natural one, no order.   I do not give my dogs them unattended.  Its hard because when they get to the end, it poses as a choking hazzard.  Best to treat as recreational, and supervised.

Where can you find ones that are not chemically processed?

I wouldn't leave a bully stick in the crate with him while your away.  Blue has a tendancy to choke on everything!  Once they get too small we have to take things away from him.  He has choked on pig ears, raw hide, greenies, etc.  Even when we are home with him we have to constantly watch him with everything....

I get them where I buy my food, but here is a good site for chews and treats.
