Thin bully sticks are the gentlest bully stick we make: 100% beef pizzle from grass-fed, USA-raised cattle, cut slimmer so smaller jaws can manage them. They make a good first bully stick for puppies, an everyday chew for small breeds and an easier option for senior dogs.
Who are thin bully sticks for?
As a rough guide, thin sticks suit puppies 3 months and older and dogs up to about 25 lb, such as Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians and Dachshunds. They also work for bigger dogs that prefer a quicker, easier chew or need something kind to older teeth.
6 inch or 12 inch thin bully sticks?
The 6" thin bully sticks are a quick reward or training treat and are easy to portion. The 12" thin bully sticks give a longer session and can be cut in half for very small dogs.
When to size up
If your dog finishes a thin stick in a few minutes, try 6" regular bully sticks. For a strong-chewing puppy, braided bully sticks last longer. See the full size guide on our bully sticks page, or browse more chews for small dogs.
