The Life Protecting Bow Wow Buddy

I encourage you to take 3 minutes to read this blog. It could save your dog’s life.

 
 

Bully Sticks

Long-term chews are a positive distraction and great for mental stimulation. One of the best long-term chews are bully sticks.

Bully sticks are a healthy treat for your dog that satisfy their urge to chew, clean their teeth, deliver nutrients, and keep them occupied.

 
 

However, with all this good comes a serious risk.

The last inch of a bully stick can be a choking hazard if swallowed.

That is why I HIGHLY recommend every dog parent gets the Bow Wow Buddy.

 
This is a choking hazard
 

Bow Wow Buddy

A Bow Wow Buddy is a safety device that tightly grips the bully stick and prevents dogs from swallowing and choking on the last little bit.


This safety device allows your pup to enjoy the benefits of long-term chews while reducing the risks of choking.


After learning about the possible harm of the end of a bully stick, I’ve made it a priority to warn and help other pet parents. So do yourself a favor and invest in your dog’s health today.

More on bully sticks

These are a great option for puppies because they soften during chewing when mixed with saliva and allow your puppy’s “shark” teeth to sink into the bone.

Not all bully sticks are created equally. We highly recommend Bow Wow Lab’s Safe Fit Bully Sticks for these reasons:

  • From grass-fed cattle -- free of hormones and free of all chemicals

  • Low in fat and high in protein, making them a healthier longer-term chew

  • Single ingredient treat

  • Helps to remove plaque and tartar to support dental health

 
 

Make bully sticks last longer

I typically give it to Ellie for 20 minutes at a time.

To store the bully stick and prevent bacteria growth, rinse it off, and store it in the refrigerator until the next day. Note you probably want to keep it separate from your food.
