| Love the bullies, but too much of them upset's otis's tummy. I think it's the smoke flavor stuff they put on them.

| I love bully Gave Tricksie one for 10 min., she got really sick with a bacterial infection, that was the only thing that changed in her diet. Have heard of others getting sick, maybe a coincidence.

| Bully sticks should be taken off the market. They can cause diarrhea and worse. There are too many chemicles on them to keep them from rotting on the shelves. Nasty things. Try giving just a beef femur bone cut in 1" size. Take the marrow out. It's pure fat and can cause diarrhea. Give raw and cut off most of the meat. |

What kind of Bully Sticks do you buy that they are full of chemicals? They are baked and dried/dehydrated. The good ones all say "no additives, no chemicals" I've given mine sticks forever and we've not had a problem with diarrhea unless Loki eats an ENTIRE 12" stick. They are like 80% protein so I think that would happen with too much of anything. Also, you can have any treat spoil or have bacteria in it.

| We've used Merrick and other various brands with no problem... It may just be a personal preference? Franklin would DIE without his.

| The ones I have are shrink wrapped. But they are dehydrated and baked. Just like you would make beef jerky in a dehydrator.

| My yorkie won't touch anything that resembles a bone, bully stick, dog biscuit, etc. Her treats are pieces of raw meat or cheese.

| Geez, I really thought maybe there was something wrong with Winston when he turned his nose up at a bully stick. Everyone seems to rave about them and how much their yorkies love them...but not mine...I thought how odd???
