  • Thick 12-inch cut for large dogs
  • 50–59 g per stick
  • Slows down strong chewers
  • Odour-free, rawhide-free

For large dogs who make short work of standard sticks. Our 12-inch thick bully sticks weigh 50–59 g — a denser, longer-lasting chew that still is not as heavy as a jumbo.

Thickness slows down strong chewers and makes the stick harder to swallow in big pieces. Single ingredient — 100% beef pizzle — slow-roasted and air-dried so it stays low-odour indoors.

A popular pick for Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Boxers and other 25–40 kg dogs.

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

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

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

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
ThickThis product 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.

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 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.

    A few skinny ones in the pack

    Good sticks but a couple were thinner than the rest. The pouch reseals well.

    Lasts well for our golden

    Our golden takes a long time with one of these. They soften as she chews, no sharp pieces. Happy customer.

    Happy with the lack of odour

    Big, heavy sticks. No smell in the house at all. Way better than the rawhide we used to buy. We use them for crate time and it helps a lot. Thanks!

    Handy when I need to take a call

    These last way longer than the thin ones we had before. Keeps him busy while I'm on work calls.
