Curly Bully Stick Treat

Verified Aug 22, 2026

Dog · Treat All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

A high-protein, single-ingredient beef chew made from baked, grass-fed beef pizzle. This curly bully stick is designed as a longer-lasting chew, especially for medium and large dogs, and can help keep them mentally occupied while adding extra animal protein to their diet. As with all chews, it should be offered under supervision as an occasional treat, not a full meal replacement.

9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a simple, high-protein, single-ingredient chew that works well as an occasional treat for most healthy medium and large dogs. The use of 100% grass-fed beef pizzle gives a very digestible animal protein source without added ingredients. It is calorie-dense, though, so portions need to be controlled, especially for dogs prone to weight gain or with sensitive stomachs.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Made from a single ingredient, 100% grass-fed beef pizzle, which is helpful for dogs that do better with limited additives.
  • Very high protein and relatively low fat for a chew, which suits most healthy adult dogs when fed in moderation.
  • No added colors, flavors, or preservatives, which reduces the chance of reactions to extra ingredients.
  • The curly shape may slow down fast chewers compared with straight sticks, which can make it a bit safer for gulpers.

Considerations

  • Each stick is fairly high in calories, so it should be counted toward your dog’s daily intake to avoid weight gain.
  • Contains beef, which can be a problem for dogs with beef allergies or sensitivities.
  • As with any hard chew, there is some risk of dental fracture or choking, so close supervision is important.
  • This treat is not a complete and balanced diet and should only be used as a supplemental chew, not as a meal replacement.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Beef Pizzle
Beef pizzle is a single-ingredient, dried beef chew made from muscle/tendon tissue that serves as a long-lasting, high-protein treat for dogs and a source of collagen and natural animal protein; it helps satisfy chewing instincts and may provide some mechanical abrasion to help reduce tartar. Owners should supervise use because whole or large pieces can pose choking or gastrointestinal blockage risks, very hard chews can risk tooth fracture, and there are considerations around caloric density, potential bacterial contamination if not properly processed, and suitability for pets with allergies or sensitive digestion (generally not intended for cats).
