BULLYSTICK / TREAT REVIEW - OPEN RANGE BULLY SPRING

5/5 

nom nom nom 

2 minutes before this.

I have purchased a couple open range products in the past and had loved them. So it wasn't long until I got this bully "spring" in which I felt that it was easier to chew for leo (not necessarily a good thing if I want him to use it as a dental stick) but nevertheless he likes it as well.

This one is made of muscle, so I wouldn't really consider it an authentic bully stick but works about the same way. Is not as smelly as Bully sticks.

I like it and would purchase it again.

BULLYSTICK / TREAT REVIEW - OPEN RANGE WATER BUFFALO BULLY STICK

4.5/5  Leo gives it a 4/5. (He can get distracted)


As mentioned in a previous post, we bought this after the huge success with the other open range treat. This one takes significant longer time to finish since it's harder.

We got him a very long one and hacked it into 1/3 s with a butchers knife. It took a considerable amount of effort.

Below is where you can see more information about this bully stick

Since it's a Canadian company, I'm not sure you can get it from the US. Please let me know!

If only we all had a Cap America in our lives. 

Leo does like to chew on this as well BUT one warning is that with any bullystick, you MUST be present because when they are small enough, your fido CAN and might try to swallow it and it's a chocking hazard. 

WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER BULLYSTICK

The first one third, we would give him the bullystick until he drops it to go look for other food. Then I pick it up and put it in a ziplock bag and put in the freezer.
1 this keeps it fresh
2 it kills bacteria.

When we want to give him the bully-stick again, I just take it out from the freezer and throw it on the ground.

In Our recent vet visit, I was told that his teeth is okay for now and a small reason could be that we are using bully sticks. I also brush his teeth, which will be in a future post!

Do you feed your dogs bullysticks? If so, which kind?

BULLY STICK/ TREAT REVIEW - OPEN RANGE PET TREATS (BEEF)

Just some background information. Leo is an active 8 or 9 years old chihuahua that currently weights 4kg or 8.8 pounds. This is the beef chomper, I got the 4 inch. 

Please click me to see more information on this

Open range farm is a Canadian owned company and I appreciate that their products have minimal packaging. I personally bought this bully stick from Tisol but many other pet stores carry it. 

I was looking around for a good bully stick and honestly thought this looked a little too hard. Little did I know, he devoured it in 20 minutes - the entire thing!!! I tried to take it away from him at one point and he just started to pretty much gulp it.

So in retrospect, I would recommend this as a treat (especially for medium sized and large dogs)

but for chihuahuas, I would saw it in half so he can enjoy it two times.

 However, seeing this is beef esophagus, it actually looked quite high in fat content, so I would recommend lowering his calorie intake in other foods and/or taking him on extra long walks the next few days. 

Leo gives this a 5/5  (I LOVE THIS WOULD INHALE AGAIN)

I give it a 4.5/5 because I doubt it's teeth cleaning properties and also the need to portion it out for him for next time. Would repurchase. 

We recently bought the water buffalo stick from the same company, so look out for that review soon!
