![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the only bully sticks I had on hand when the Bow Wow Buddy arrived were long but very slender – and slender sticks just can’t get gripped by the Buddy. And because all three of my dogs are large (or will soon mature into a large dog), I bought the large size Bow Wow Buddy. I don’t often buy bully sticks for my dogs (see “Bully for You?”), but when I do, I try to buy the very largest, longest bully sticks I can find. The gnawed furrows in the plastic are sharp and hazardous for dogs and humans. The Bow Wow Buddy is made of hard plastic, and if a dog is left unsupervised to chew it after the bully stick is gone, this is what will happen. Bow Wow Buddy Works Best With Thick Sticks This is a not a chew toy. ![]() Throwing away that many inches and hours of expensive canine enjoyment and occupation just seems wrong. That’s about half of the more common, short bully sticks. Without the Bow Wow Buddy, I end up throwing away at least four to six inches of every bully stick I buy, just to keep Boone from trying to hurriedly hoard them, risking a semi-certain death by choking on those last few inches of chewing enjoyment. That investment also helps stretch my expenditure on bully sticks, which are not cheap. Suddenly, $30 or $40 seemed like a really good investment in Boone’s safety. What’s more, this particular adolescent has strong resource-guarding tendencies if he suspects that another dog has designs on his chew-item – or that I am about to trade him some treats for his dangerously swallowable bully stick – he will often try to run away and swallow his prize, rather than risk losing it. Then I saw the price tag: nearly $28 for the extra small size, and nearly $38 for the extra large! Well, I thought, my dogs have lived without it so far…īut that was before I adopted a third dog – and a puppy at that! My next-youngest dog is 7 years old I have forgotten the extraordinary value of any tool that helps to safely occupy a bored puppy or adolescent dog who is teething. I would think that a product that increases the safety of chews that virtually all dogs enjoy chewing would be welcome in most dog owner’s homes. ![]() I was quite enthusiastic the first time I saw an ad for the Bow Wow Buddy, a hard plastic device that secures the end of a bully stick, preventing dogs from choking on the tail end of the chew. ![]()
