bully sticks vs steer sticks

San Leandro, CA

Is there a difference? I have been buying (I apologize, I do not remember the brand name) "bully sticks" for my dear Caera. They have been perfect!!!!!!! She can chew to her heart's content for a long time before they become small enough to be a choking hazard.

Just today I inadvertently bought "steer sticks" made by REDBARN. They look very similar, just not as consistent in their thickness and seem to be "smoked". She went through one in just about thirty minutes when I heard her cry just a bit as it had become lodged in her throat (it quickly came free and I even more quickly disposed of it).

I do know all dogs should be supervised when chewing on anything, but it was just that the difference in the chewing time was so drastically different between the "bully" and the "steer" and I am unsure if it is because of the "brand", the "type" or that I just got a bad batch.

Any advice you can give or info on the best place to purchase the right one would be great.

Sorry I have no new pictures of Caera (she is now 4 months old and 9 pounds!!!). the attached photo is of her at 8 weeks:-)
