Bully sticks for large dogs

Dogs over 25 kg need a stick that is long enough to hold and thick enough not to be gulped. Start with 12-inch thick; if your dog is a power chewer, go to 12-inch jumbo or 12-inch braided.

Large sticks carry more calories — roughly 160–320 kcal for a 12-inch jumbo or braid — so many owners give half a stick at a time and reduce meals slightly on chew days.

Which bully stick is right for your dog?

Pick by your dog's weight first, then by how hard they chew. When in doubt, size up — a stick that is too small can become a choking hazard.

Dog weight Typical breeds Recommended sticks
Under 10 kg (22 lb) Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, puppies from 4 months

6-inch thin or standard sticks
10–25 kg (22–55 lb) Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Border Collie, French Bulldog

6-inch thick or braided, or 12-inch standard
25–40 kg (55–88 lb) Labrador, Golden Retriever, Boxer, Husky

12-inch thick or braided; 6-inch jumbo for shorter sessions
Over 40 kg (88 lb) or power chewers German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Bernese Mountain Dog, Mastiff

12-inch jumbo or braided

Always supervise chewing and take the stick away once it is small enough to swallow.

Compare bully stick styles

All PUPHE sticks are the same single ingredient — the difference is thickness, and thickness decides how long a stick lasts.

Style 6-inch weight 12-inch weight Best for Chewer type Avg. chew time
Thin 10–18 g 20–37 g Puppies & toy breeds Gentle 10–20 min
Standard 19–24 g 38–49 g Small to medium dogs Light to moderate 20–40 min
Thick 25–29 g 50–59 g Medium to large dogs Moderate to strong 30–60 min
Jumbo 30 g+ 60 g+ Large & giant dogs Power chewers 45–90 min
Braided 30–50 g 60–100 g Medium to large dogs Strong 60–120 min

Chew times are averages from our in-house testing with medium-sized dogs; every dog is different.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best bully stick for a large dog?

For dogs over 25 kg, pick a 12-inch thick, jumbo or braided stick. Thickness matters more than length: a thicker stick is slower to chew and harder to swallow in large pieces.

Should I buy 6-inch or 12-inch bully sticks?

Choose 6-inch sticks for small dogs, puppies and short sessions, and 12-inch sticks for medium and large dogs or longer chewing. A 12-inch stick is roughly twice the chew of a 6-inch stick of the same thickness, and twice the calories.

How many bully sticks can my dog have per day?

Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories. Each product page lists the approximate calories per stick; for most dogs that means one stick a day, or part of a larger stick. Ask your vet if your dog is on a weight-loss plan.

When should I take the bully stick away?

Remove it when about 5 cm (2 in) is left, or as soon as it is small enough for your dog to swallow whole. A bully stick holder lets your dog finish more of the stick safely.
