bully stick

Canine rawhide alternative

A bully stick is a dried beef pizzle (penis) sold as a dog chew.

The euphemistic name obscures the anatomical origin, which surprises many pet owners.

Dogs find them highly palatable, and they're marketed as a natural, digestible alternative to rawhide: She gave the puppy a bully stick to keep him occupied.
