Can my dog eat too many bully sticks? How many calories are in them?

Question

Julia is a "failed foster." In other words, we started as a foster and I ended up falling in love and adopted her; to me this is the only failure to have. My question is: she loves bully sticks, even to the exclusion of her kibble, which she will eat if she gets hungry enough. I have not found a kibble she really goes for. I do not feed her any soft food and she does get regular exercise. Can she have too many bullies? (I do not know how old she is; wt is about 12 lbs. Stools are OK.). Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Julia. Yes, it is possible to eat too many bully sticks. The average 6 inch stick will contain about 80-100 calories. Treats should compromise no more than 10% of a dog's diet. At 12lbs, she should eat roughly 300 calories per day depending. As you can see, even one bully stick will take a huge amount of her daily calories. I hope this information helps!
