Obesity amongst dogs is a real concern and bully sticks are very calorie dense. On average, each six-inch stick will deliver 88 calories. This is a third of the recommended daily caloric intake for a 10lb dog and nearly 10% of the recommended daily caloric intake for a 50lb dog. However, if your dog does not eat the whole stick at once, it can last for several days and you can spread the calorie intake out.\r
