The Neapolitan Mastiff is truly a dog that looks out of place and time no matter the setting. This Italian breed is straight out of the history books as its ancestors can be traced back to ancient times.  Learn more about the Neapolitan Mastiff in the BestBullySticks Breed Spotlight!

History & Background: The Neapolitan Mastiff has ancient origins by way of its ancestor, the molosser-type dog, which was known to live around 3000 B.C. and originated out of Asia. Alexander the Great helped in developing the mastiff type and eventually the dog made its way to Italy during Roman Conquest. Molosser-type dogs were used as war dogs as well as in circus combats where they would fight lions, tigers and men. Mastiff is derived from the Latin word “masssivus” meaning “massive.” The Italians also call this dog the Mastino Napoletano. Over the centuries, this dog was bred to be a guard dog for Italian homesteads and earned the description “big dog of the little man.” Some even say the dog was bred to look alarming enough that their appearance alone would deter intruders.

During WWII the number of Neapolitan Mastiffs diminished greatly but by 1948 a group of dedicated Italians had built up the breed and qualified the Neo’s characteristics into a breed standard. In 2004, the AKC recognized the Neapolitan Mastiff.

If we know anything about dogs, it’s that they like to chew on things. Puppies chew because they process things with their mouths just like babies, and they also teethe like human babies do. Adult dogs chew for exercise, to counteract boredom, and sometimes to alleviate feelings of anxiety or uncertainty. At BestBullySticks.com, we’re dog owners just like you, and no matter the reason our dogs chew, it’s our responsibility as dog owners to teach them appropriate chewing habits.

Our guideline for choosing dog chews that will encourage good chewing habits is simple:  it has to be safe, healthy and last a long time. One of the best dog chews we’ve ever found is a Bully Stick. In fact, we’re so impressed with Bully Sticks that we named our company after them! Our dogs love them, and we guarantee your dogs will, too.

The original Bully Sticks from BBS provide lots of chew time for your pooch. Made from free-range cattle, these Bully Sticks are made in South America, so you can feel good about supporting local business. Unlike rawhide chews, Bully Sticks are 100% digestible, so they’re safe for your dog. As with all our Bully Sticks, these are single-ingredient dog chews, which means you won’t find anything artificial in these products. Bully Sticks from other sources are often filled with preservatives, but not at Best Bully Sticks! Our bully sticks are baked until these 100% beef dog chews are  perfectly chewable. Our original Bully Sticks come in lots of different sizes, so you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect size for your four-legged friend.

Dogs like challenges, and here at BestBullySticks.com, we’ve come up with a great one in the form of Braided Bully Sticks. These durable dog chews are made by braiding three original Bully Sticks together to form an interesting texture your dog will love. Bully Sticks are naturally long lasting, and our Braided Bully Sticks are the king of hardy dog chews. Available in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 18 inches, you’re sure to find Fido’s perfect fit.

If you love beefy dog chews but hate the smell that can accompany them, we know exactly how you feel. At BBS, we happily offer a range of Odor Free Bully Sticks. Your dog gets all the satisfying chew time without the odor – what could be better? Other manufacturers remove odor by using harsh chemicals like bleach, which can harm your pet. At BestBullySticks.com, we simply bake our Bully Sticks longer to virtually eliminate the natural moisture that causes odor. Our Odor Free Bully Sticks are all natural and completely safe for your dog, and we carry a variety of sizes and shapes to keep your pup’s interest including Spiral Odor Free Bully Sticks, Jumbo Odor Free Bully Sticks and Thin Odor Free Bully Sticks.

Here at BestBullySticks.com, we know Bully Sticks are one of the best dog chews available. They don’t just promote healthy chewing habits, they encourage good oral hygiene and provide an outlet for your dog to exercise, teethe, and keep himself occupied. Dogs continually prove their ability to learn, and by teaching your pooch positive chewing habits you’ll be establishing a healthy habit he’ll carry throughout his lifetime. 

Today, we at BestBullySticks.com are very excited bring you a dog treat recipe chock-full of “good-for-you” stuff! You know, like when you eat a fresh piece of fruit that’s in season and your body loves you for it? Well, these Blueberry Pumpkin Dog Treats from Matthew at Vegan Heartland will do just that for your pup! Read on to learn about Matthew’s Yellow Lab, Keeva and her favorite treat.

Keeva has been on a mostly homemade vegan diet for almost a year now and she's doing amazing! She does eat kibble every now and then and she absolutely loves it!

I know there's one thing I can count on though and that would be these treats! Keeva absolutely loves these! Not only does she love to snack on them but they're super nutritious for her! She get's the antioxidants from the blueberries and pumpkin + the omega-3 fatty acids and lignans from the flax seed meal. I think when I make these next time I'm going to add some sesame seed meal and molasses to add a little boost of calcium to her diet. They're super easy to make and you can cut them out into any shape you like!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 cups 100% whole wheat flour (you could try using oat or brown rice flour for wheat free treats!)
• 1/2 cup flax seed meal
• 1/3 cup blueberries
• 1/3 cup water

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Blend together the applesauce and pumpkin. Once the applesauce and pumpkin are well combined, stir in the flour and flax seed meal. Add in enough water until dough just becomes workable. The dough will be a little stiff, but don't worry, that's what we're going for! Work the rest of the ingredients together with your hands until all have become well incorporated. Read more
