Article Title: Picking The Right Dog Chews And Treats For Your
Pets
Author: Avrum Elmakis

With all of the options available for dog chews and treats both
online and at your local pet store, it's hard to know which one
is your best option. Which one will your dog not only enjoy, but
will be healthy for them at the same time. It's not unlike
picking out an afternoon snack for a small child. In light of
the recent pet food recalls, many pet owners have turned to
bully sticks as an all natural treat for their dogs. But not all
bully sticks are created the same. Here are some things to keep
in mind when picking out a bully stick for your dog.

There is a Difference in Quality

Bully sticks are made out of beef, and like all meat from
cattle, there is a difference in the quality of the beef. The
better the cattle are raised, the better the quality of the
product from those cattle. Choosing bully sticks that come from
quality, free-ranging cattle, like those raised in Brazil and
other parts of South America, creates a superior bully stick
than those produced in countries like India, China, and even the
US.

Where They're Raised Matters

Cattle raised in countries like India, China, and the US are
often raised in feedlots, where they are given antibiotics to
stave off disease, and hormones to increase their growth at an
unnatural rate. Cattle from these locations are also used to
create bully sticks and other dog treats and chews. However,
most of the cattle raised in Brazil and other parts of South
America are free-ranging cattle, and the bully sticks created
from them isn't subjected to the same hormones and antibiotics
as those from the US, India, and China.

In addition to being the leading supplier of cattle raised in a
free-ranging environment, Brazil and the rest of South America
have been recognized as the world's number one source of "Green
Cattle" for years. The bully sticks, and other all natural dog
treats and chews, created from these cattle are much healthier
for you dogs.

Recalls Are a Factor

When the pet recalls swept through the US, many people turned
to bully sticks because they were lead to believe that there
were no recalls associated with the treat. This is only half
true. While bully sticks, and really all treats and chews for
dogs, from those cattle that are raised free-range like those in
South America were free from the sweeping pet recalls, those
created from cattle raised in the US, India, and China were
still subject to the same pet recalls that caused panic amongst
pet owners.

Do the Research

The best advice for finding the perfect all natural dog treats
and bully sticks for your dog is to do some research. If you're
buying from a store, look at the label and see where it comes
from. If you're buying from an online retailer read their
product description to see if they list where their bully sticks
come from. If they don't, contact the company and ask them.
Don't settle for less when it comes to picking out a bully stick
for your dogs.
