Bully sticks and cow ears are both beef chews, but they are not interchangeable. A bully stick is a dense, cylindrical beef pizzle; a cow ear is a flatter ear-cartilage chew that is generally less dense and finishes sooner. That makes thickness, length, the dog’s chewing style, and the last bite more important than a marketing label. The first tier below covers bully sticks in several useful sizes and shapes; the second covers cow-ear choices for dogs that prefer a flatter chew. Treat every chew as food: account for it in the day’s calories, choose a size that cannot be swallowed whole, and supervise until the remaining piece is removed.

The picks, in detail
Best Bully Sticks Odor Free 6-Inch Bully Sticks, 6 Count
A six-pack of 6-inch beef bully sticks for medium dogs and shorter chewing sessions. The odor-free processing is the practical distinction for households that dislike the smell of a standard pizzle chew.
- 6-inch length
- six-count bag
- odor-free version
- beef bully-stick chew
- Useful everyday size rather than a very large single chew
- Odor-free option addresses a common household objection
- A 6-inch stick is not a safe leave-alone size for a dog that can finish it quickly
Best Bully Sticks 6-Inch Standard Bully Sticks, 6 Count
The standard, non-odor-free six-count version of Best Bully Sticks’ 6-inch format. It is the like-for-like alternative when the conventional chew is acceptable and the goal is a straightforward beef-pizzle stick.
- 6-inch length
- six-count bag
- standard bully-stick format
- beef pizzle chew
- Simple size and count make portion planning easy
- Different processing choice from the odor-free version
- Individual thickness naturally varies with animal-derived chews
Chewy Made Standard Bully Stick 6-Inch Dog Treats, 6 Count
A six-count 6-inch standard bully-stick pack sold by Chewy Made, suited to buyers who want a conventional straight-stick format instead of a braid or novelty shape.
- 6-inch straight sticks
- six-count pack
- standard bully-stick format
- sold by Chewy Made
- Clear per-chew count for routine use
- Straight shape is easy to pair with an appropriately sized chew holder
- Straight sticks can become a swallowable end piece, so remove the final nub
Chewy Made Braided Bully Stick 6-Inch Dog Treats, 3 Count
A three-count braided 6-inch bully-stick option. The braided construction is a materially different shape from a single stick and gives a dog more edges to work around.
- 6-inch braided construction
- three-count pack
- bully-stick chew
- Chewy Made line
- Braided shape offers a different chewing texture from a straight pizzle
- Small pack suits a first trial
- Costs more per chew than a standard multi-pack
Chewy Made Curly Bully Stick 7–10-Inch Dog Treats, 3 Count
A three-pack of naturally curled bully sticks listed at 7–10 inches. The longer, irregular shape is for a dog that needs more than a short straight stick, not a substitute for supervision.
- 7–10-inch curly sticks
- three-count pack
- irregular natural shape
- bully-stick chew
- Longer format than a 6-inch stick
- Curled profile is a genuine alternative shape
- Length variation means it is important to inspect each chew before giving it
Raw Paws 6-Inch Standard Bully Sticks, 10 Count
A 10-count pack of 6-inch standard bully sticks, aimed at households that go through more than a starter pack but do not want to buy a bulk case.
- 6-inch sticks
- 10-count bag
- standard format
- Raw Paws brand
- Ten-count quantity is more economical than small trial packs
- Consistent nominal length helps match a chew to dog size
- A larger supply still needs to be treated as calorie-bearing treats, not free snacks
Best Bully Sticks Cow Ears Dog Treats, 15 Count
A 15-count pack of whole cow ears from a bully-stick specialist. Cow ears are the flatter, lighter-chewing tier here rather than a cylindrical pizzle stick.
- 15 whole cow ears
- flat ear-cartilage chew
- Best Bully Sticks brand
- individual-count pack
- Useful switch from dense sticks for dogs that prefer a flatter chew
- Pack count makes per-ear budgeting simple
- Ear shape and thickness vary, so inspect each piece and discard a small remainder
Best Bully Sticks Natural Cow Ear Dog Chews, 12 Count
A 12-count natural cow-ear option in the same brand family, for buyers specifically choosing ears rather than bully sticks and wanting a smaller pack than the 15-count listing.
- 12-count pack
- natural cow ears
- flat whole-ear form
- Best Bully Sticks brand
- Smaller pack is sensible when testing a new chew type
- Whole-ear format is visibly different from a stick
- Not designed for a dog that destroys soft chews in seconds
SuperCan Bully Sticks Cow Ears Dog Treats, 15 Count
A 15-count cow-ear pack from SuperCan Bully Sticks. It is a lower-cost whole-ear option for the cow-ear tier, with a stated per-ear price on the current listing.
- 15-count pack
- whole cow ears
- SuperCan Bully Sticks brand
- individually countable treats
- Competitive pack price versus many cow-ear listings
- Enough pieces to assess whether ears suit the dog
- Like every whole ear, it must be chosen by the dog’s actual mouth size and chewing speed
Jack & Pup Premium Cow Ear Dog Treats, 15 Count
A 15-count premium cow-ear pack for readers committed to the flatter ear format. It is a different brand and sourcing option from the Best Bully Sticks and SuperCan packs.
- 15-count pack
- premium cow ears
- whole-ear chew form
- Jack & Pup brand
- Directly comparable count to the other 15-ear packs
- Cow-ear form avoids confusing an ear with a dense bully stick
- Priced above the budget cow-ear packs
Buying tips
- Choose the chew by the dog in front of you: longer and thicker bully sticks are not automatically safer if the dog can break off large pieces; take away any chew once it becomes swallowable.
- Cow ears are a distinct, flatter beef chew; they are not a low-calorie substitute by default. Read the specific package, introduce one new chew at a time, and include treats in the day’s food allowance.
- Supervision is non-negotiable with either type. Watch the first few sessions, use a suitably sized holder only as directed, and ask a veterinarian before offering chews to a dog with a history of swallowing nonfood items or dietary restrictions.
