If your dog destroys a chew in two minutes, this is the category for it. Bully sticks and bull tendons are the densest, longest-lasting pieces we make: almost all protein (77.3% and 84%), very little fat, and a texture that demands serious jaw work for a good while.
They are the chews we recommend for anxious dogs, for large breeds with a lot of power and for any dog that likes to gnaw at its own pace. Air-dried with no preservatives or colourings, made in Lugo, Galicia.
Bully sticks and bull tendons: the chew that lasts
The bully stick is the best-known natural chew in the world, and rightly so: it is a single piece of bull, dried until rock hard, that a dog can gnaw for half an hour or more. The bull tendon is its less famous but equally effective cousin, with a fibrous texture that softens little by little with saliva.
Both share something that sets them apart from bones: they do not splinter. They wear down in layers, which makes them a safer option for power chewers. And being almost pure protein, with 4% fat in the tendon and 12.5% in the bully stick, they do not weigh on the diet the way a pig ear does.
What you'll find
- Bully Sticks (Bull Pizzle): 77.3% protein. In a doypack of 5 or bags of 300 g, 500 g and 1 kg.
- Bull Tendons (Nervios de Toro): 84% protein and only 4% fat. In a 150 g doypack.
Which dogs, and how to give them
They suit every type of dog, but they really shine with medium and large dogs that need to burn off energy by chewing. For a small dog, pick the thinnest tendon or break a bully stick in half; it will still take a good while. As a guide, two or three pieces a week for a 20 kg dog, taking a little off the main ration.
The one serious precaution is the last piece: when a stump of a few centimetres is left, some dogs try to swallow it whole. Take it away. The rest is the usual: supervision, water to hand and short sessions to begin with if your dog has a sensitive stomach. These pieces have a strong smell; if that bothers you indoors, give them on the terrace or during the walk.
Made in Galicia
We dry the tendons and bully sticks in Lugo. It is a long process, because they are thick pieces and we want them dry on the inside, not just the surface. That is what makes them last so long and keep without additives. If you are not sure which to choose for your dog, write to us.
