GoSports Chew Champ Bully Stick Houder voor Honden - Houdt Bully Sticks veilig vast om verstikking te voorkomen - 8 Inch Maat

There are many variations of Bully Stick (BS) holders, and I couldn't decide between four of them that are all pretty similar. So, I decided to buy all four and try them out. Full disclosure, my testing was done only with 7" BS's, which naturally vary in diameter. All four holders are pretty good, but there are some differences worth considering. This is how I ranked them.#1 (GoSports [Red] - 5 stars): The best of the bunch. Due to the narrow oval shape of the opening, it's very easy to load the BS and get it aligned with the clamp, regardless of the diameter of the BS. The handle for the clamp is very large and easy to get a good grip to twist it down tight. The tip of the clamp has a flat surface, which makes it easy to get a good hold on the BS without having to align on the BS groove. The clamp also does not loosen or back-off once tightened. This all allows for minimal BS waste. The plastic material is very tough and holds up to gnawing that can happen after the BS is chewed down to the nub. It's a good size for my 65 lb. Lab to hold down with her paws when chewing the BS.Update - 6/18/24: I continue to be very happy with this BS holder, but a few times the BS was too small to clamp and hold it. What I found works well in this situation is to just put two of the small BS's in the holder at the same time and clamp them both down. This has worked well for the few times this happened, and my dog was very happy to get a little extra chew time. ;-)#2 (ChewEasy [Light blue] - 4 stars): Similar to #1, and works well, but what I like less about it is that the round vs oval opening makes it not quite as easy as #1 to get the BS aligned with the clamp. Although, this might be preferrable if the BS's you buy are really large in diameter. The clamp handle is smaller, so not quite as easy to tighten down as #1. With the ends of the holder being smaller, they're also easier to gnaw on by the dog.#3 (BoniVet [Green] - 3 stars): This one has the advantage of being able to screw the tip of the clamp all the way through the other side of the holder, which does allow for a tight clamp. However, I found I didn't really like the pointy clamp tips as much as the flat ones (like #1 and #2). With the pointy tips, you have to get it aligned with the groove of the BS to get a good hold, and that is not always easy with smaller diameter BS's. The other thing I didn't like about this one is that even after the clamp was tightened, it sort of loosened on its own. The narrow plastic parts around the holder opening also seem susceptible to gnawing damage, although I haven't used it enough to say if it's a real problem.#4 (Bow Wow Labs [Dark blue] - 3 stars): This was actually the first style I bought, but there was enough I didn't like about it, that it caused me to look at the others. As mentioned with #3, I don't care for the pointy clamp tip. The round opening versus oval is less desirable for small BS's but may be needed for larger ones. The clamp itself does not screw in far enough to completely close the gap, so some of the smaller diameter BS could not be tightly clamped down, and my dog was able to get them out and swallow the BS nub. This probably only happened

This didn’t work for me because the hole to put food in wasn’t big enough, might work very well for a bully stick though.

Heavy weighted sturdy holder. Screws open and shut tightly to hold any size chew stick Easy for dogs to hold. My dogs are 45 and 65lbs. Used mostly by larger dog as she is a serious chewer

This is good for clamping treats. Safely keeps hold of last piece to stop choking risk or blockages

Love that this gives me peace of mind. I have a large dog who has large sticks, so I had to choose the smaller end of the stick to make a larger stick fit. Either way, this purchase was worth it and now I don’t have to worry at the end!
