Summary: Great (if kind of gross) product for distracting my puppy, but there is a slight choking hazard.
My crazy but adorable Boston Terrier is extremely high strung and suffers from separation anxiety. These sticks were recommended to us in order to help distract her while we are away from home. When I first gave her a bully stick, she immediately waltzed off with it and proceeded to find somewhere to "bury" it; which was fun because she had never done that before with a treat. Now I find bully sticks in the laundry hamper, under my pillow, between the couch cushions, and other strange places (she once tried to hide one under my arm, which really didn't work out too well for her). When she gets around to chewing on one, she happily munches away. Between the "hiding" and the chewing, Chompers is occupied for quite some time. The sticks look really nasty once they have been used for a while, but they don't smell or leave marks on the carpet.
Now for the down side: While safer than rawhide, these treats do occasionally choke my dog. The hard stick turns soft and stringy when chewed on for long periods of time. Since the dog can't really bite the stringy stuff off (hard to explain unless you see it), she will try to swallow stringy stuff attached to the remainder of the stick and choke on it when it gets caught in her throat. This is not a problem when I am home because she get my attention when it happens and I can pull the stringy stick parts out of her throat. When we leave the house, we have to make sure all the stringy bits are cut off of her sticks so she won't choke while we are away. I don't know if anyone has had similar problems (please let me know if you have found solutions!!!) but it was a little scary at first to see her choking. I'm not sure if she would be able to resolve the choking situation without our help.

I'm not sure what is considered Thick Select...sounds like an industry term, but I received 10 bully sticks and most of them were barely thicker than a pencil. I don't associated pencils with being thick and these bully sticks are better suited to a Pomeranian then my German Shepherds. I seldom complain about products but when its completely misrepresented, I have no choice but to warn others. If there is a way to leave a picture, someone leave me a comment on how too and I will.Buy 6" BULLY STICKS - Free Range Standard Regular Thick Select 6 inch, by Downtown Pet Supply Now
I've been taking my one-year-old jack russell/basenji pup to dog classes and thus train with him pretty regularly. I've been trying out all kinds of treats to train him with and this one, by far, takes the cake. I call these bully sticks my "magic wands" because I practically control his every movement with the stick until he gets it. My pup will do ANYTHING to get one! I started with the smaller order (10 sticks) because I wasn't sure if he'd like them, but I have no hesitation about ordering them in the largest bulk I can now. And to top it all off, they're mess-free, unlike many other chews out there.Why are these listed under "Bully Sticks Made in USA?" They are not sourced or made in the USA. Misleading for sure.The package was a plain plastic bag with no label, no ingredients, no point of origin, nothing. Highly suspicious that someone broke up a package of who knows what, from what country and sent then out as this product.
