Introducing new foods into a puppy’s diet requires caution, especially when it comes to treats like bully sticks. While bully sticks are a popular choice due to their dental health benefits and their ability to provide satisfying chewing, it’s natural for owners to be concerned about possible side effects like diarrhea.
Bully sticks are made from 100% natural beef and are highly digestible. However, puppies have more sensitive digestive systems, and introducing any new food can cause adverse reactions, including diarrhea. The most common cause is the rapid introduction or excessive quantity of bully sticks in the puppy's diet, which can overwhelm the digestive system and result in diarrhea.
Natural Farm, known for the quality of its products, recommends gradually introducing bully sticks into puppies' diets. Start by offering small pieces and observe how the puppy reacts. This allows the puppy's digestive system to adapt to the new food without overwhelming it.
Additionally, it’s important to ensure that the puppy is well-hydrated and that the amount of bully sticks offered is proportionate to its size and age. Very young puppies may have more difficulty digesting harder treats, so it's crucial to supervise them during chewing.
