Bully Stick Dog Chew Holder

thingiverse

This is a set of bully stick (or other long chew/treats) holders. My dogs have a tendency to swallow the last couple inches of a bully stick if we don't take them away in time, and we've had to pull them out of their throat more than once as they were gagging. The holders that you can buy all seem to suck. I designed these and they have been very successful for our dogs. The only downside to them is you need to drill a 5/16" or 8mm hole about 1/2" from one end of the chew for the pin to go through. It only takes me about 5 minutes to drill out a bag of 25 bully sticks though so it seems a small price to pay to avoid a vet bill or injured dog. The one with wings is for larger dogs. I just use the small round one for my dogs, even though they are 30lb, because they mostly leave the holder alone and focus on the bully stick. The wide mouth holder is for flat, strip style chews.
