Bow Wow LabsBuddy Safety Device | Newly Redesigned Bully Stick Holder for Dogs | Made in The USA | Dishwasher Safe (XS)

5 stars! My sister already gave one of these for one of my dogs. I just ordered this one for the other. The new design works great and I can confirm it holds the bully sticks really tight. My dog Bogey is a very aggressive chewer so that is a relief! The quality of this device is great. Some of the other ones looked kind of flimsy to me.

I now feel safe giving my dog & new puppy bully sticks! I have a Bassett Hound that will literally swallow any size chew if he can. This product locks the bully stick in place VERY securely & I no longer have to worry about him swallowing large pieces! It's VERY sturdy & he or the new puppy will not be able to destroy it.Only downside for me is...It is made of hard plastic and is loud as my puppy flings it around in excitement. It would be nice if the ends were actually rubbery so the noise level wasn't so bad. But I am teaching him to chill when he gets his chew time so I guess he'll learn not to flip it all over soon. It's a bit pricey but I felt the prevention of a Vet visit was worth the cost. I really hate having to throw away the little stub when it gets chewed down. There's any 1.5"-2" of bully stick left and they are expensive treats! I wish I could do something with those or wish they were made a different way so there wasn't so much going on the garbage. It's also a bit tricky for me to tighten the grip with my arthritis but I love the way the turnkey is hidden in the side so the dogs can't get to it.In the end... I 100% recommend this product especially for those teething puppies & dogs that like to chew! Get it now!

I got this and the Bully Grip Holder to compare. My 1yr 9mo Borzoi has been enjoying bully sticks responsibly since he was 9 weeks old and 19 lbs (ah the good old days of buying 12 inch sticks!). He's now almost 100 lbs and requires 36 inch bully sticks. I used to take away end pieces that were about 3-4 inches in length but after watching him carefully chew and consume some end stubs I was less concerned and allowed him to do so under supervision. I decided to try these products to see if they worked at all.This product is very easy to use and plenty roomy to insert the widest bully stick, even one frayed/flattened by already been started being chewed. There is no odor, it seems decently made, though I feel like if it's frigidly cold out I don't want my dog clunking it down on pavement or it could crack. It screws in securely, but as it's entirely plastic, I expect eventually it will wear/strip a bit, but so far we are many months in and it works great.The Bully Grip holder was impossible to insert a bully stick in that had already been started/chewed, even if I tried to freshen the end with scissors. It was an exhausting ordeal to try and fit the sticks in, but the size description matched the size/diameter sticks I'm using. I am unsure if a larger size is available and if it would be snug or loose but I definitely am not about to buy multiple sizes of them to try and get one that fits.The Bully Buddy is bigger/clunkier but weighs less than the Bully Grip. It doesn't feel as solid/well made and is plastic-y and not mean to get accidentally gnawed on like the Bully Grip probably could be, but it's so much easier to fit in ANY size bully stick and seems to hold them really secure. I always put both options out for my dog together and he ALWAYS went for this one first. In fact, he had gone through about 9 bully sticks in the Bully Buddy before I took it away and he eventually used up the one in the Bully Grip.The ease of use makes this one the winner for me.Please note, both will give you a bruise and an egg on your forehead if you dog is laying next to you on the couch and swings the device end at you.

Update 2: I have not had any bully sticks fall out yet since drilling the hole deeper and wider. For reference I use the 12 mm drill bit to make the initial hole then the size up to get the top of the hole wider and a size down to get it deeper. I don’t make the hole too big otherwise the bully stick might break or slip out. (If anyone else decides to use this method, the drill bit sizes used will depend on the size of the holder and your bully sticks). Its a little work, but pre-drilling a handful at a time will pay off later.Anyway, the dogs will chew on and bully stick & holder trying to get the last bits of bully stick out and they can’t. This definitely extends the entertainment value of a bully stick in a safe way and the holder is super durable.Update 1: After letting each of my dogs chew on the bully sticks all day I only had 1 bully stick fall out just once, instead of many times before I drilled the hole. Big improvement but still not perfect. I think when the knob is cranked down tight against the bully stick, the movement from chewing is unscrewing the knob. Periodically tightening the screw could prevent this but that kinda defeats the reason I got these in the first place. Today I tried drilling the hole a bit deeper and wider than I needed, so when the knob was all the way down, the screw was still in the bully stick but not touching it tightly, basically the bully stick could spin freely without wiggling the screw loose or falling out. I wiggled the bully stick all around, pulled on it to make sure it was staying. I let the dog have it and it didn’t come out at all. I think if I had the small or extra small holder with the thick bully sticks this would work even better but im not about to waste more money.Original post:I decided to purchase these bully stick holders because they looked well made and had a recessed knob that wouldn’t get chewed or spun around by accident. The price point is fairly high but if it gives me peace of mind that my dogs won’t choke, its worth it. Sadly the first time I gave my dogs bully sticks with these they kept pulling them out, no mater how tight I screwed it in. The bully sick turns a bit loosening the knob making it easy for the dogs to dislodge it. After looking at some reviews to see if this was a common problem I came across one review that said they added a sheet metal screw to the other side and it fixed the problem. I was going to try that but if the screw ever came loose and fell out that could be real dangerous. I ended up ordering a bunch of counter sink drill bits and used the 12 millimeter bit (pictured) above. Its just about the same width as the plastic screw on the medium holder. I drilled the hole about 1/4 inch deep right in the middle of the bully stick. I put the stick in the holder and tightened the screw all the way down. (I also did that with a yak chew and holder.) So far the bully sticks (and yak chew) haven’t budged at all today. I’ll report back.

I found this to be quite expensive,and found that the smaller holders work just as well, but the dogs can put their paws to either side with the bone inside. It’s pretty firmly in place…

Love the bully stick holder. It holds the bully stick quite nicely, a firm grip. The holder itself is a hard plastic, a wee bit heavy which is a good thing, it's not a flimsy holder. Yes they are a wee bit expensive but if you really want a good holder buy this one you won't be disappointed.

Mon chien n’a pas compris le principe du bow wow.

I like that they are safe chewing there bully stick ..so they don't choke on the end piece...

What a great idea this is! I’ve always taken bully sticks away from my dogs when they’ve gotten short but this eliminates that need to do that and therefore there’s no threat that my dog could choke on it. It holds the bully stick quite securely. It did my dog a little bit to figure it out but he saw that it worked to support the stick for him. He pushes it into chair and table legs to help him hold it.
