Bully sticks for puppies and small dogs

Puppies can start on bully sticks at about 4 months old. Choose a thin or standard 6-inch stick, keep the first sessions to 10–15 minutes, and always supervise.

  • Chewing helps soothe teething gums and redirects chewing away from furniture.
  • Count the calories: a thin 6-inch stick is roughly 30–60 kcal.
  • Take the stick away once it is small enough to swallow.

Our full puppy guide: Are bully sticks safe for puppies?

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.

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

Frequently asked questions

Are bully sticks safe for puppies?

Yes, from about 4 months old. Start with a thin or standard 6-inch stick, keep sessions to 10–15 minutes, and always supervise. Take the stick away once it is small enough to swallow. Our full guide, Are bully sticks safe for puppies?, covers sizes, calories and warning signs.

Which dogs are thin bully sticks best for?

Thin sticks suit puppies, toy breeds, seniors with sensitive teeth and gentle chewers under about 10 kg. If your dog finishes a thin stick in a few minutes, move up to standard or thick.

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.
