We finally got to experience the onset of winter here in the piedmont part of NC ~ it’s been cold with temperatures in the single digits, and we’ve had the questionable pleasure of freezing rain as well as a few snow showers.
However, packages are still being delivered, and boy! do they brighten our days immediately on cold, yucky winter days~ particularly when they smell soooo good the pups know they can only be meant for them!
Today was one of those days, and although the pups knew the package in question was clearly meant for them, little did they know that they were actually being treated à la carte today…eh oui!

On Today’s Menu: Venison Chew & Beef Chew
Missy & Buzz were offered two delectable chew treats today ~ a Venison Chew, more precisely Venison Wrinkles with Liver Sprinkles, and a Beef Chew, the 12 Inch Gullet Wrapped Tendon. (Both chews are ideal for medium to large sized dogs.)
We rotate our pups’ protein sources on a regular basis, so we were all excited when we looked at the menu and saw both venison AND beef on there!
Chewing Serves 2 Purposes!
We all know that chewing is a natural doggie instinct, but it also serves two actual purposes:
1) It is an excellent boredom buster and therefore a welcome activity on a cold winter’s day.
2) Additionally & equally importantly, it helps in maintaining good dental hygiene for your pup as it aids in scraping away tartar & plaque.
Side-note: While chewing HELPS in promoting good dental doggie hygiene, you still need to brush his pearlies on a regular, ideally daily, basis unless you feed raw, meaty bones which function as a natural tooth brush (update on the meaty bones in March 2016 after having transitioned to a raw diet containing 10% edible bones such as turkey necks or chicken leg quarters).
Please help me raise awareness about this important topic ~ did you know that February is #NationalPetDentalHealth month?
12 Inch Gullet Wrapped Tendon
The 12 Inch Gullet Wrapped Tendon was an immediate hit with our boy Buzz: It’s a thick cut of all natural tendon wrapped in gullet, made from grass-fed Brazilian cattle with no additives, hormones, or preservatives!
Gullet is naturally high in chondroitin, which means it’s great for K9 joint health.
Another huge plus was the fact that the gullet is obviously hollow on the interior, making it a suitable chew for Buzz since he had to have a tooth removed 2 weeks ago (he fractured it on an extremely hard beef bone purchased at a grocery store – never again).
Venison Wrinkles With Liver Sprinkles
Missy girl happily trotted off to our second floor with her Venison Wrinkles with Liver Sprinkles chew, where she found a quiet spot to enjoy her treat.
She likes doing that with treats she considers being of particularly high value, while her brother Buzz tends to dig into his treats right where he receives them! Isn’t it funny how all dogs are different?
I let her enjoy her treat upstairs for a few moments, but then encouraged her to follow me back downstairs as I like to have an eye on both pups while they’re chewing.
The Venison Wrinkles with Liver Sprinkles is a dog chew that’s low in fat, but apparently very big on taste! The liver flakes make the chew extra flavorful, AND add extra nutrients.
Truly sounds like a great candidate for pups in need of losing some weight without having to sacrifice their natural instinct to chew!
All Natural Chews To Be Stored In Fridge or Freezer
BestBullySticks recommend storing their all natural treats in the freezer or refrigerator since they do not contain any preservatives ~ makes perfect sense!
It’s for this very reason that I very much appreciate the resealable bags the treats come in ~ no mess in the fridge or freezer!
4 Enthusiastic High Paws For The Venison Wrinkles & The Gullet Wrapped Tendon!
Missy & Buzz enthusiastically recommend both chews, and are looking forward to getting to chew some more tomorrow!
Our pack are huge supporters of healthy K9 nutrition & treats, and don’t feed anything containing artificial preservatives! Thank you, BestBullySticks, for truly delectable AND healthy treats!
