Ugly Ones Chewy Bull Treat
Verified Aug 30, 2026
This is a high‑protein, single‑species beef chew made from beef esophagus, ground beef, and cow cheek, designed as a long‑lasting treat for medium and large dogs. Its lighter texture makes it easier to chew than traditional bully sticks, which can be helpful for many senior dogs or those missing some teeth. It is a calorie‑dense reward, so it’s best used in moderation alongside a balanced diet.

Top Pick
Nutritionally, this is a simple, high‑protein beef chew meant as a supplemental treat, not a complete diet. The use of various beef tissues provides a very palatable, animal‑based protein source, and the lighter texture may suit older dogs who cannot manage very hard chews. Because each stick is quite calorie‑dense, it’s important to factor this into your dog’s total daily calories to avoid unwanted weight gain.

Where these benefits come from
Benefits the manufacturer highlights in its own product marketing. KibbleLab lists them for reference and does not verify these claims.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Made from multiple beef tissues, providing highly palatable, animal‑based protein that most dogs enjoy.
- High protein with relatively modest fat content for a rich chew-type treat.
- Lighter texture than many hard chews, which can be easier for some seniors or dogs with missing teeth.
- Very limited ingredient list, which can help owners who prefer to avoid mixed or complex formulations.
Considerations
- Contains beef, so it is not appropriate for dogs with beef allergies or sensitivities.
- Each chew is high in calories, so portions should be controlled, especially in dogs prone to weight gain.
- This is a treat, not a complete and balanced food, so it should make up only a small part of your dog’s daily intake.
- Chewing supervision is important to reduce any risk of gulping large pieces or choking, especially in enthusiastic chewers.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Beef Esophagus
Beef esophagus is an organ meat used in pet foods and treats as a lean, palatable source of animal protein, connective tissue (collagen), B-vitamins and iron, often included in limited‑ingredient or novel‑protein recipes. It can add variety and digestible amino acids for dogs and cats but is not a complete diet on its own, may be chewy due to connective tissue, and should be sourced and handled or cooked properly to reduce bacterial risk; pets with known food sensitivities should be introduced to it gradually.
02
Ground Beef
Ground beef is commonly used in pet foods as a palatable animal protein and energy source, providing high-quality protein, essential amino acids, fat, and micronutrients such as B vitamins, iron and zinc for both dogs and cats. Its fat content can vary widely and very fatty varieties may contribute excess calories or increase pancreatitis risk, and ground beef alone does not provide a complete and balanced diet (raw or seasoned preparations can also carry bacterial or toxic hazards), so it should be used as part of a formulated diet or under veterinary guidance.
03
Beef Cheek
Beef cheek is a nutrient-dense muscle cut used in pet foods and treats as a flavorful protein source with abundant connective tissue and collagen, contributing amino acids, B vitamins, iron and other minerals that can support muscle, skin and joint health. It can be relatively fatty and should be sourced and processed safely (cooked or properly handled) as it is not a complete diet by itself and may pose issues for animals with beef sensitivities or for cats that require taurine supplementation.
04
Gelatin
Gelatin, a collagen-derived gelling agent and binder, is commonly used in pet treats, chews and wet foods to improve texture, moisture retention and as an ingredient in joint or skin supplements. It provides collagen-related amino acids (e.g., glycine and proline) that may support joint and coat health but is not a complete protein—lacking essential amino acids such as tryptophan and taurine—so it should not replace balanced animal protein; source and quality (bovine vs. porcine) can matter for dietary preferences and safety concerns.
