A pizzle is a dried bull or lamb penis, which is worth saying plainly because the packaging rarely does. One ingredient, nothing added, pure muscle.
It suits almost any dog, and it is one of the few genuinely hard-wearing chews that is still soft enough for a young dog with its adult teeth through. Match the thickness to the jaw rather than the length.
They go the distance. A braided one lasts longest, because the plait has to be worked apart before there is anything to eat.
Very high in protein, very low in fat, and digestible in a way rawhide is not. That last point is why most people arrive here.
Smell and mess: this is the honest part. A standard bully stick smells, and it smells more once it is damp. The odourless braided version exists for exactly that reason, and it is the one to pick if the dog chews indoors.
