  • Our longest-lasting chew
  • 60–100 g per stick
  • Hand-braided from three strands
  • Odour-free, rawhide-free

Our longest-lasting chew. Three strands of beef pizzle are hand-braided into a 12-inch stick weighing 60–100 g, which makes it the densest, most time-consuming chew we sell.

Braids are ideal for strong chewers who need a project: the woven texture slows them down, and the ridges help clean teeth along the way. Single ingredient — 100% beef — slow-roasted and air-dried for low odour.

One braid can last a large dog several sessions. Put it away between chews and remove the final few centimetres.

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) This product Labrador, Golden Retriever, Boxer, Husky

12-inch thick or braided; 6-inch jumbo for shorter sessions

Over 40 kg (88 lb) or power chewers This product 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
BraidedThis product 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.

How to give bully sticks safely

  • Supervise every session. Stay nearby while your dog chews.
  • Remove the last 5 cm (2 in). Once the stick is small enough to swallow whole, take it away — or use a bully stick holder.
  • Count the calories. Treats should stay under 10% of your dog's daily calories; see the calorie line in the table above.
  • Introduce gradually. Start with 10–15 minute sessions so your dog's stomach can adjust.
  • Puppies: from about 4 months old, with a thin or standard stick.
  • Fresh water should always be available.

Bully sticks are a treat, not a replacement for regular vet dental care. Ask your veterinarian if your dog has dental, digestive or weight concerns.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between braided and straight bully sticks?

A braided stick is three strands woven together, so it is denser and heavier than a straight stick of the same length and lasts much longer. The ridges also help scrub teeth. Braids start firm and soften as your dog chews.

What are PUPHE bully sticks made of?

One ingredient: 100% beef pizzle (bull pizzle). Nothing is added — no glazes, flavourings, preservatives or rawhide. The sticks are slow-roasted and air-dried, which is what makes them hard, long-lasting and low-odour.

Are PUPHE bully sticks really odour-free?

They are low-odour. Longer drying removes most of the moisture that causes the classic bully stick smell, so they are comfortable to use indoors. Any natural beef chew has a faint smell, especially once it is wet from chewing.

How long does a bully stick last?

It depends on thickness and your dog. In our testing, a 6-inch thin stick lasts a small dog about 10–20 minutes, while a 12-inch braided stick can keep a large dog busy for 90 minutes or more across several sessions. See the comparison table on each product page.

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.

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.

How should I store bully sticks, and how long do they keep?

Keep them in the resealed pouch in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Unopened, they keep for 24 months; once opened, use within about 3 months. A partly chewed stick can be rinsed, air-dried and stored for the next session.

Are bully sticks better than rawhide?

Bully sticks are a single, digestible muscle protein, whereas rawhide is processed hide that can swell and is harder to digest. That is why many owners and vets prefer bully sticks as a rawhide-free chew. Every chew still needs supervision.

    Tough enough for our rottweiler

    Our 40 kg rottie needed something tougher and this works. Consistent size across the pack. No stomach issues, which was a concern with other chews. Subscribing next time.

    Arrived quickly and packed well

    Our mastiff finally met his match. Arrived quickly and well packed. We use them for crate time and it helps a lot. They soften as she chews, no sharp pieces.
