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.

It is approaching that time of year when the leaves start falling, the weather starts cooling down, and we start deciding what to dress our dogs up like for Halloween.  Millions of Americans every year choose to dress their dogs up in their favorite costume of the year.  Some of our favorites this year are a football costume for those manly pooches, equipped with a face mask and helmet and a cheerleader costume for the dainty ladies.  Some others that we found pretty cute were the dog/alligator costume, the dog dinosaur, or the quintessential "hot dog"!

Besides being just plain fun, dog psychologists have actually shown these types of bonding experiences between owner and pooch to be therapeutic.  It is not only great for dog and human interaction, but great for dogs to get out and interact with their doggy friends.

Just like with kids if you are trick-or-treating make sure to check all of the treats you receive and make sure that they look okay prior to giving them to your dog.  And of course, if your pooch doesn't actually get any treats, you can always find a good bully stick here!

In light of the election being less than a month away, I thought it prudent to look at the history of some of the most beloved inhabitants of the White House – the Presidential Dogs. While living the life of luxury in DC has its perks (lots of space to run around in and dog treats that are checked by the Secret Service), there is a certain dignity and air of sophistication that a Presidential Pooch must project. Here's a look back at the First Dogs since our country began.

George Washington

As our first President, George Washington was also the first to have a First Pet. While his dogs didn't get to live in the White House, one can assume they had plenty of time to run around. George Washington had seven dogs – three Staghounds (Sweet Lips, Scentwell, and Vulcan), and four Black and Tan Coonhounds (Taster, Tipler, Tipsy, and Drunkard). It's safe to assume that his Coonhounds liked to get into the Presidential liquor.

John Adams

Continuing the tradition of the First Dog, John Adams only had two dogs while President, though they were the first to stay in the White House. While the breeds have been lost to time, we're sure that he loved his two dogs (Juno and Satan) despite their naming.

Thomas Jefferson

We know that Thomas Jefferson had two Briards, and while one's name has been lost to time, the other, Buzzy, probably got to enjoy his time at Monticello.

James Monroe
