Fact: Nash has never had a bully stick.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Christina, why would you deprive him like that?” Truth is, I never gave Nash one because I was scared. Scared he’d swallow too big of a piece and choke. Ugh. This was one of the many fears I had while Nash was going through his puppy phase. Now, I’m getting more comfortable with him having certain things, but still just wasn’t sold on bully sticks. Until I was introduced to the Bully Buddy – a safety device for feeding bully sticks to your dog. WOW. Where has this product been all my life? I decided to give this little invention a try and I’m so glad I did (Nash is too).
What exactly is the Bully Buddy?
The Bully Buddy is a durable, easy-to-use, veterinarian-vetted, and dog-approved device that tightly secures bully sticks, preventing dogs from choking on the tail-end of the treat. The Bully Buddy devices are great for dogs of all sizes – XS to XXL, so no pup will miss out on a howlin’ good time. Check out the chart below to see what size your pup would need.

How do you use the Bully Buddy?
It’s easy! Take your Bow Wow Labs (BWL) Bully Stick, insert into the Bully Buddy, and tighten the bolt so the bully stick is secured.
Then, hand that delicious treat off to your pup. Just to be on the safe side though, I always recommend hoovering, I mean supervising, your pup when they are using this. Better safe than sorry!
The Bully Buddy is:
- Made to fit Bow Wow Labs (BWL) premium, hand-selected bully sticks
- Safe for all dogs, of all sizes and ages, no matter their chewing strength
- Durable and lightweight
- BPA-free
- Dishwasher safe
- Free from chemicals and all bad stuff
Our Opinion of the Bully Buddy
Overall, I was really impressed with the simplicity of the Bully Buddy! The Bully Buddy held tight onto the bully stick and allowed Nash to really enjoy his very first bully stick and let this mama let him enjoy it (without hovering too much)! I’d 100% recommend this product to anyone whose pup chomps on bully sticks often. It’s easy to put together, easy to clean, and super durable.
Nash is 85 pounds and was sent the XXL size Bully Buddy, which I think was too big for him. Nash likes to parade his “treasures” around and with this, he wasn’t able to “carry” the XXL Bully Buddy around because that size is pretty heavy. I ended up giving him the small size Bully Buddy and that worked really well for him. For reference, he’s using the small Bully Buddy in the photo below.
I am so grateful Bow Wow Labs took the initiative to make this product. I know I’m not alone when I say this, but I would do ANYTHING to keep Nash safe and I won’t give him anything that I know could potentially harm him. With the new Bully Buddy, I feel confident knowing he’s safe with this product and gets to enjoy a new treat!

How would I return product. I only use your bully stick but he is able to pull it out. It is the original holder
