Express Pet Supplies 50x12cm Thick Bulls Pizzles Dog Treat Chew…

I bought these after much a lot of searching around for a chew for our Beagle mix. He was rescued from a very sorry situation from the RSPCA and had not been exposed to all the toys and treats a young dog should. I haven't had any success with other chews - rawhide, dental chews, jumbones, nylabones... He just doesn't show any interest in anything. I was at my wit's end trying to find him something to keep him occupied during the day (I work from home and anything productive is nigh-on impossible with the little blighter jumping up and running around).Things looked hopeful when he was immediately fascinated by the parcel (arrived after three days), perhaps it was the smell!?Now these come in a postage bag, within another bag (not airtight). If I hadn't been there to pick the parcel up the dog would probably have ripped it open, so that's probably something that needs considering.The dog was a bit confused at first, not sure what to do with the pizzle, but after a while he started to dig in.Let me say, these STINK! I have tried tripe before, and this is a similar stench to this. But it's the case with all pizzle you buy, it's just something you have to accept!The dog has been 'chewing' (or his rather special version of it) for about an hour and the stick has lost probably less than an inch in length. They are very thick (thicker than the rawhide cigars you can get), and I can see them lasting ages.I was a bit concerned that they'd either not last very long or the dog would ignore them altogether, and a tenner is quite a lot of money to wager on this, but I'm extremely pleased with how they are.

Varied thicknesses, some are very thick, some not so thick, but I guess that's the nature of the source :)I attach some pics with a AA battery for scale.Dog absolutely loves them and will keep him entertained for a hour or so. He usually doesn't eat the whole thing in one go and I find partly chomped ones around the house.Top tip: put an inch or so of boiling water in a mug, and stir the half eaten stick around like spoon for 10 to 20 seconds. Shake the excess water off and make sure it's not too hot, that will perk up his interest pretty quickly. Mine is at my feet before I have stopped stirring, oh and be sure not to drink the water :)

Dogs go NUTS for them. But it is expensive considering its a waste item. And be warned they DO SMELL AWFUL. Irrespextive of the brand. But that smell is like catnip for dogs. They dont last very long for larger dogs. Maybe 30 minutes or a bit more? But its the ultimate treat for your dogs (def not for us humans)

Had tried a box of assorted natural chews this was recommended by the Facebook page. So I thought try these! Long lasting, and a way to digest. They did not turn to a long string of stuff, or which are his chews had did in the past! I did not wish I o have my puppy choke on and chew! They cried off when I took it away after play time. And it did not appear to cause any problems withdigestion! Have just ordered more! Hard to get in pet shop! Even my elderly pug lives them too!

These pizzles are disappointingly skinny compared to ones I have been buying for a similar price each in a local store - which I will now go back to. On the plus side, my dog will like them anyway, they just won't last any time at all. I didn't get one single one that looked anything like the image in the listing. Some of the ends are thinner than a pencil and none are anything as thick as described. Real bummer.

We have ordered these on 4 occasions now and I must say that the quality varies enormously. Our first order was made up of thick bullies that hardly smelt at all presumably because the supplier had actually air dried them hanging horizontally for virtually ALL the urine to drip out before being packaged which is the proper way of doing it. Yes, if you have a smelly bully stick, this is what smells: the remaining urine. Now, we're not squeamish but what astounds me is that the quality of the bullies DECLINED MASSIVELY with every order we made. The last batch is made up of less thick and extremely smelly bullies to the point where we choke every time we get one out of the bag. Not to mention that we have to let the dog eat it outside because it smells so rank.What highly irritates me is that there is absolutely no information about where they come for (US? Brazil? Another cattle rich country??) and who supplies them. Obviously they are sold by Forrest & Son but who is their supplier? How are these bully sticks sourced?? I am not going to order these again and will instead trace a supplier in Germany, a much more reliable source with healthy, organically reared cattle. Otherwise what's the point in feeding the dog these bullies (which are meant to be healthier) if we don't know anything about them?!If Forrest & Son would like to give some feedback that would be greatly appreciated. If I could give no star that's what I'd do.

As soon as these arrived, I gave one out of the 4 that come in the packet to my dog.My dog does have some plaque buildup on her teeth so hoped these would help remove it.After two sticks (over 3 days) I have noticed a slight improvement that some plaque has come off.Only time will tell if it does get rid of more plaque.The smell - well, it does stink bit but as long as it does the job I can put up with it.It took about 20 - 25 minutes before my dog consumed the stick, and there was noting left.

Good value and my dog really loves them!
