Yes, bully sticks are safe for dogs when given in moderation and under supervision. They are much safer than rawhides because they break down as they are chewed. But, they can pose a choking hazard when only a small end remains. To prevent this, you can use a Bully Stick Holder or Bully Buddy to keep your dog from swallowing the end of the treat. The holders essentially grip the end of the bully stick, thus not allowing them to swallow the end.
