Geez!! I recently had the opportunity to review some bully sticks. At the time, my dog was too old to chew on them so I gave them to my Fur Grand-baby, my daughter's dog Alabama. He is quite the chewer when it comes to rawhide, ham hocks and pigs ears. I knew he would enjoy them.
These delicious rolled sticks come with such a foul odor that it is hard to believe that dogs actually like them. Okay, so as a responsible, pet loving mommy and grandma, I felt it was my duty to make sure these were made of only wholesome ingredients. The main ingredient is pizzle. So, at first glance, I thought Italian cookies. These did not smell like my pizzelles. Then I took another look and noticed the spelling. I wasn't quite sure of this Pizzel so I googled it ...of course. To my horror, I discovered that this is the penis of an animal, especially a bull, according to Wikepedia .
All righty then.....if you haven't already guessed it, those long, thick brown sticks are just the dried penis of a male bovine.
This thought provoking information makes me wonder who invented these? My search led me down a path that I did not want to go. What I thought was a healthy treat, turns out to be a bulls penis which is high in calorie and can carry potentially harmful bacteria. I never did locate the inventor but at this point, it is just not that important anymore.
