As concerned pet owners ourselves, the BestBullySticks team believes pet safety is paramount. Identification can go a long way ensuring your furry friend’s safety — tags alone aren’t enough, though! Microchipping is a foolproof way to avoid the heartache of losing your loved ones and providing them with an easy way to get home if they run off.

Unlike a collar and tags, microchips can’t be removed and they can’t fall off. According to the American Humane Association (AHA), pets who become lost rarely find their way home:

• 1 in 3 pets will become lost at some point during their life

• Over 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen every year in the U.S.

How Does Microchipping Work?

The electronic components of these electronic ID tags are packed into a biocompatible glass tube only a bit larger than a grain of rice (11mm). Non-allergenic, this glass casing contains the microchip, capacitor and antenna coil which together form a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Read more

Many pet owners gravitate towards name-brand flea and tick treatments and we don’t blame them! While effective and endorsed by many veterinarians, there are comparable alternatives without the nasty chemicals commonly found in these spot-treatments. BestBullySticks encourages owners to go the holistic route and use all-natural flea and tick prevention products to deter fleas and ticks this coming season.

Dangers of Chemical-Based Treatments

Spot treatment “medications” contain a wide variety of pesticides — including but not limited to pyriproxyfen, methoprene, permethrin, fipronil and imidacloprid — and are directly linked to serious health effects in laboratory tests. In 2008 there were over 44,000 reported cases of adverse reactions to these types of treatments.

Since these are pesticides, their distribution and use is controlled by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In a study conducted by the EPA, it was determined current guidelines and regulations used to determine toxicity for these medications were inadequate. Besides the toxic “active” ingredients listed, manufacturers are not required to disclose “inactive” ingredients leaving us in the dark about what we’re actually giving to our pets.

Because of the adverse reactions and questionable content of these treatments, BestBullySticks chooses to endorse holistic pet-care products. There are many ways pet owners can achieve the same results without having to turn to harsh unhealthy treatments. Let’s take a quick peek at these common pests and how we can prevent them! Read more

Spring is now in full swing and BestBullySticks wants to make sure you and your dog get the most from the sunny months ahead. For this week’s installment of our Dog 101 series, we’re discussing Springtime Dog Grooming Tips because a well groomed dog doesn't just turn heads, it helps keep them healthy too!

Reasons to Groom

Grooming is an activity pets regularly conduct by themselves. They still need your help, though! There are a few reasons why grooming should be high on your list of dog-related priorities this spring. Regular grooming habits will not only decrease your pets chance of developing epidermal and oral health problems, it’s also a great way to create a strong bond, monitor your dog’s health and even help to prevent disease.

Lyme Disease

The first step to protecting your pet from Lyme disease is making sure they’re on the correct preventative medications. BestBullySticks suggests all-natural flea and tick medications as an alternative to the toxic ingredients found in many common medications. Spot treatments are filled with chemicals and have been proven to pose a threat to both pets and owners.

Caused by a bacteria from the genus Borrelia, the chance of contracting Lyme disease is much higher between May and August — the height of tick season. Here are a few early warning symptoms: Read more

A great addition to BestBullySticks’ standard line of treats and chews is our Braided Bully Stick. Made from three standard bully sticks twisted together, we’re sure these treats will wind up your pup! Available in a wide variety of lengths and sizes, Braided Bully Sticks make are a great choice for dogs of all sizes.

You know it and so do we, dogs just love to chew! But let’s stop and look at a few reasons as to why your dog chews. First and foremost? Boredom.

If you’re not providing entertainment for your pets, you can be sure they’ll find a way to do it themselves. Aside from being an idle activity, many people are surprised to learn dogs also chew instinctively. Not only do dogs give things a nibble to test them out, they also chew to reduce anxiety and clean their teeth.

So, if you know you’re not going to break Fido’s chewing habit anytime soon, why not make the most of it? Bully Sticks provide a great way to maintain your dog’s oral hygiene as well as their happiness!

Particularly well suited for larger dogs and more aggressive chewers, these bully sticks will hang around long enough to ensure many hours of enjoyment. We've even got a 15-18” Jumbo Braided Bully Stick for you big breed owners out there!

Never bleached or chemically treated, our all-natural bully sticks are completely digestible. And just like our standard bully sticks, our heavy-duty Braided Bully Sticks are naturally low-odor and sourced from free-range, grass-fed Brazilian cattle.

As always, you can check out our our full line of all-natural bully sticks on our website.
