bully sticks
Dried beef treats
Bully sticks are dried beef pizzle—the penis of a bull—sold as dog chews.
They're popular because dogs find them appealing, they're digestible unlike rawhide, and they keep dogs occupied for extended periods.
The name sanitizes the origin for squeamish pet owners: I buy bully sticks in bulk because my dog goes through them so fast.
