Bully sticks are great. They are 100% muscle and 100% digestible. I use them with my dogs for chews, that or raw meaty bones. Like with any chew you have to watch them while they are chewing but being chis they probably wouldn't be able to eay anything big enough to choke on. It's like a big piece of really hard beef jerky. My boxers love them. Cheaper to get them online though, rather than at the pet store, and when you get them make sure they are actual bully sticks, rather than rolled up rawhide some companies try to pass off as bully stick. They do smell a little bit sometimes but I don't mind because mine love them so much. I have never had a problem and mine have had them for 3 years, since my boy was a pup.
