Bully sticks

I was just wondering where everyone gets theirs from? They had one type at my local Tractor Supply, but I was wondering if I can purchase them online also. Thanks.

Please be careful with bully sticks they can break teeth. I ignored everyone when they told me that and wham Callie's tooth broke on one and it was about a $600.00 surgery to get it removed. Also a lot of people say they have cause diarrhea and upset tummys.

Are those odor free? My two loves them but the regular ones are so stinky! I buy the odor free ones from pawlux.com. So far, they're the cheapest I've seen. Granted, it's more expensive than regular but I'd rather pay little more than deal with the odor.

And if you decide to get some at pawlux, there's a 5% coupon. Just google for it.

Thanks for this! The website that I get mine from is closing the end of this month, so I needed another good, inexpensive ordering site for odor free sticks. Are they really odor free, and do they last a while? I usually get the thick ones since Rocco is a crazy chewer.

If I was you I would buy a larger one, this will last longer and I always throw them away when they get to be about 6" Also get the unscented ones, I have a local pet store that carries them and they are from the US. Also you might want to limit how much and how often you let them chew it.

Dogs can break a teeth chewing on anything, a milk bone, a nylabone, a toy and even a kibble. In fact with the bully stick I don't really see Lola chomping on it like a dry treat, because the longer she chews it, it softens up.

I used to get it from another site but it was bit more expensive. As for the odor I can't say it's 100% odorless. I buy them in a bulk. 12", 100 pcs. My experience had been that some had close to no odor at all while some had slight odor, and I think there were couple that had little more odor than the rest. BUT! Even the ones that did have some odor were MUUUUUCH better than the regular ones.

The vet dentist we went to for Callie said anything you can not bend or indent with your nail is to hard a chew for them and could break a tooth. So just going by the experts and my personal experience.

exactly that's why I said anything like a milk bone or a nylabone can do it as well, even some kibble is extremely hard. But on the flip side chewing is also good for their teeth, that's why dogs that eat kibble will almost always have stronger and cleaner teeth than those eating wet food. Lola is my first dog that will eat milk bone type treats, none of my other 4 would and her teeth are so much cleaner and her breath reflects that as well. Many here feel that milk bones have no nutritional value so the will not feed it to their dog as well, but I don't "feed it" it's given in very limited quantities as a treat. I do limit the time she chews on a bully stick because it is still a treat type of food. I only give it to her when in the same room and make sure I don't leave it on the floor if I have to go out.

I agree. They may not be for all dogs, but for Rocco bully sticks are an absolute necessity. They keep his teeth very clean, as he is a ravenous chewer, but they also help him RELAX and get rid of excess energy. When we are out of bully sticks, no amount of walking or playing satisfies that craving to chew, so he gets very fresh - much like a toddler that hasn't napped or is hungry.

we also give Lola her bully stick at night when we want some peace from her demands to have us throw the toy, it's the only thing that will get her to stop jumping up and down on the couch trying to get us to play fetch, although on occasion she tries to get us to toss the bully stick

ROFL you have one of those too huh?! Just like human kids.. you either have to give them a brand new toy or put something in their mouth so you can have some peace & quiet. LOL

yes I do and LOL a brand new toy is the worst thing to give her when we want peace because she only likes those that squeak and she will go at it non stop for hours and hours and hours, to the point she is panting and sort of sweating and a mess. I keep doing it though bringing home new toys so I am my own worst enemy

I guess to some a bully is like a baby's pacifier. But I do understand they are not right for ever dog and to much can even leave Lola with a bit of runny stool so we give it in moderation
