Odor Free Bully Sticks

As we continue our quest to offer all natural dog chews and treats to all dog owners we are continuously asked the question about whether or not odor free bully sticks are a good feeding option.  We have written about this a few times but want to reiterate that in order to have a meat product that is odorless it must be altered.  The best meat products in the world are manufactured properly and still smell like meat products!  Please consider this when choosing which bully sticks or other dog treats you decide to give your pets.

We have had several vendors of bully sticks approach us and offer to "add" ingredients to our bully sticks to make them odor free, but frankly we are proud to only offer an all natural free range South American product; just the way it is supposed to be.  Companies use everything from bleach, to heavy enzyme regiments, to potassium to achieve a bully stick or other meat based treat which doesn't smell like anything.  We think that you and your pooch will enjoy our product offering more knowing that it is truly all natural.

Please check out our constantly growing catalog of dog chews and treats, and all types of other cool dog stuff!

Dog Travel and Grooming Gear

We are proud to announce the launch of two entirely new categories at Best Bully Sticks.  As we continue to grow, we are starting to try and offer other products that compliment the webs best selection of natural dog treats and chews!  The two new categories are Travel Gear and Grooming Supplies.

In the travel gear category we are offering a few varieties of crates (which can be used for car travel), strollers, and flexible play pens for your pooches.  All of the products in this category are new to us and are extremely high quality.  We are happy that we can offer all of these products at very affordable prices, and hope that you will all find them useful!

The second category that we have launched is the Grooming category.  We have placed Furminators (an excellent at home grooming solution) in this category, along with a line of professional grade grooming tools and dryers.  The main vendor represented in this category is Metro which is known industry wide to have extremely high quality products that are made in the United States.

Please also make sure to check out our growing selection of bully sticks and dog treats.

After many many requests we have found a supplier who is providing us with extra thick curly bully sticks.  These are about 6-8" in length and are about twice the thickness of our current curly bully sticks.  These sticks are great because they have a curly shape, this curly shape creates more friction in the mouth when chewed.  Added friction when chewing improves oral hygiene and helps remove troublesome plaque.  Curly bully sticks are also great for small to medium sized dogs because they grip the curls with their paws!

As with all of our bully sticks these are low odor and from free ranging South American cattle.  Please be sure to check out our other new additions to this category including knotted bully stick bones, bully stick rings, and about every other kind/size/shape of bully stick imaginable. Also, don't forget to check out our newly added holiday section with dog treat gifts just for the holidays!

Please keep checking in on the blog as we will have some additional "super sale" items coming up soon for the holidays!  We appreciate your business.

A Black Scottish Terrier

Weight: 17-22 lbs

Height: 10 inches

Length: 11 inches

Coat: Short and Wiry on top; soft undercoat

Color: Black, Brindle, Weaten

Appearance

Scottish Terriers are a short, stocky breed, with a muscular body and an often appear barrel chested. They have large paws adapted for digging, erect ears and an erect tail.

Temperament

Scottish Terriers are great family dogs that are known for being alert, quick, feisty, independent, self-assured, playful, intelligent, and determined. Their stubborn nature can make them tricky to train, but so long as they are given a gentle hand when young, they are very trainable and make great house dogs. Originally bred to hunt and fight badgers, they have a strong prey drive towards small vermin (squirrels, rats, mice, etc.) and will need to be kept on a leash when walked. Their determination is seen in everything from digging to working over a bully stick.

Health

Scottie's don't have any congenital health problems like some breeds, though they have shown a predisposition towards some types of cancers. With few if any physical issues, they often live to be upwards of 15 years old.

Rabbit Dog Treats

We have had these out for a while but haven't had a chance to talk very much about them.  Our all natural rabbit fillets are 100% rabbit.  There are no preservatives, additives, or fillers in them whatsoever.  They are just like their popular chicken counterparts in that they are like a jerky fillet rather than a treat.

Rabbit is great for dogs because it is hypo-allergenic, high in protein, and considered one of the leanest meats available.  Many raw feeders feed rabbit as a meat source on a weekly basis, and these fillets are sure to be popular with them.

Please also make sure to take a look at our other popular all natural dog treat options like Plato Pet Treats, Nature Nosh, Chicken Fillets, and of course the ever popular bully stick!
