How often and how long is it safe for my dog to have a bully stick?

Question

I gave Biscuit a bully stick for the first time today. She LOVES it. She is not a big eater, so I just took it away in order to encourage her to eat. She had a couple bites but is sniffing around for the bully stick and not eating! Question is this: how often and how long should I let her have this. Since she is not very food motivated, I would like to use this as a treat. Pet's info: Dog | Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier | Female | spayed | 2 months and 15 days old | 30 lbs

It's fine to use this as an occasional treat for Biscuit, but treats should only be given once or twice a week at most. I would let her eat at most half of it (less if it's quite big), and keep an eye on her while she is eating it to prevent her from eating it all at once or possibly choking on a large piece. I hope this helps!
