Quick answer
Choose BullySafe Chews BullySticks when you want a single-ingredient, fully edible chew that keeps your dog busy and stays odor-free indoors. Choose the Benebone Jack Salmon Fishbone when you want a durable, non-edible chew for heavy chewers that lasts through many sessions. Many owners keep both: a bully stick for edible enrichment and a Benebone for long-term gnawing.
Material and Edibility
The core difference is what the chew is made of. BullySafe Chews BullySticks are a single-ingredient, fully edible treat, so your dog consumes the chew as it breaks down. The Benebone Fishbone is a non-edible nylon-style chew flavored with real Jack Salmon; it is meant to be gnawed, not eaten, and should be taken away once it becomes small or worn.
Longevity and Chewing Style
A 6-inch bully stick from the 5-pack typically lasts one or a few chewing sessions, depending on your dog’s intensity. The Benebone Fishbone is built for repeated sessions and its curved, paw-friendly shape stays challenging over time. If your dog finishes edible chews quickly, a durable non-edible chew usually delivers more total chew time per dollar.
Odor and Indoor Use
BullySafe BullySticks are described as odor-free, which makes them a practical choice for apartment dwellers or anyone who dislikes the smell of traditional bully sticks. The Benebone Fishbone is flavored with real Jack Salmon, so your dog smells the fish while you generally do not. Both are reasonable indoor options, but the bully stick leaves nothing behind except the edible portion.
Safety and Supervision
No chew is risk-free. With edible bully sticks, supervise and remove the last small piece to reduce choking risk. With the Benebone, inspect regularly and replace it once it is worn down or damaged. Neither product is indestructible, and neither replaces supervision or a size-appropriate match for your dog.
