Last night I was online searching for a good price on Bully sticks. The dogs love them and they are so gosh darn expensive. As I was searching I got to thinking, why in the world are these things so expensive? What are they made of? Well, I sure got a surprise when I typed "what are bully sticks made of" into my web browser.
A bully stick, or what it is also called, a beef pizzle, beef stick, pizzle stick, steer stick, is 100% bull penis. Bull penis is the only ingredient of bully sticks.
I feel so naive...I had absolutely NO idea. My husband couldn't resist cracking a joke about the fact that they come in different lengths and sizes. Typical man! (I laughed I won't lie) But, seriously I will never look at a bully stick the same way again. I am an adult and I have given birth to two children who are male...so I am not easily grossed out...however I have to admit that I am a little grossed out that my pups have chewed on these things and then trotted over and licked me and my kids all over the face. They chew them on our bed for gosh sakes.
Anyway, I have certainly lost my innocence so to speak. Am I the only one on the board who didn't know this?
