Sancho & Lola are rescued German pointers who love traditional bully sticks. But honestly, they sometimes get bored of them. These crispy crunchy savory bully sticks are light and airy, perfect to change things up a bit. Plus, since we believe it is better supervise your dog with treats and chews, they satisfy our need to give them a quick, high-protein treat before we leave home. Our crunchy bully sticks are a high-protein, single ingredient (100% USA beef puzzle) treat that does not contain artificial flavors, grains, growth hormones or preservatives. The outer skin, usually trimmed off a traditional bull (steer) stick, is left on which adds flavor. They are then roasted in their own juices which creates an even more savory flavor. Finicky dogs may like 'skin-on' bully's slightly more than trimmed ones. Sancho sure does crunchy bully's have been requested by customers whose dogs love bully sticks, but may not tolerate traditional versions very well. Traditional ones are baked at very low temperatures to preserve moisture. This enables them to be a longer lasting chew. However, the low temperature baking is sometimes why they can cause tummy trouble. Crunchy bully's are cooked at a slightly higher temperature. This reduces the moisture, making them a 'crunchy' treat that some dogs tolerate better. Whichever style you choose, (see our other Sancho & Lola's Closet bully stick listings for chewier versions), be sure to only buy from a reputable manufacturer who bakes them to a safe temperature in a usda approved facility with constant 3rd party testing--not hung outside, where the only baking they get is in the sun---an old fashion process many foreign countries still use today. Our mantra is "pet products with a purpose" because Sancho & Lola's Closet was founded on the belief that every dog deserves a forever home. Thus, we have supported dog rescue and dogs found in crisis conditions since 2015.
