| Bullysticks!!!! Ok.. so I have yet another question.... I took the advice and got Mya some bullysticks which she LOVES!!! I really think they are doing the trick as a perfect chew toy but here is the issue... they smell HORRIBLE! we got the pack that had 3 together and I don't know what the issue is but really they have a horrible smell, we had company last night and I just bought them yesterday and if Mya was in the room with one you knew it and you could clearly smell it, is this normal?? Did I buy the wrong kind? Thanks for your help in advance!!! Anna |

| you're right they are the muscle of a bulls penis... but its really the same as any other muscle...and they really love them. I have found that any of the ones ive bought in stores smell aweful!!!!!!!! But there are some that have no odor. %TITLE_TAG% These have almost no odor. Pixie Sticks these have NO odor at all and last a lot longer but they are also more prciey. I have found the ones in the store are a lot darker and the darker they are the more they smell. |

| I can't smell the bully sticks I buy. I get mine from Bone Appetit, the bakery connected to the groom shop I work at. They are all natural and free range. They're great!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | We only use Merricks, and they don't stink up the whole room, but they do smell. The odor on his breath goes away pretty fast.

| I use "Moo" bully sticks and I've never had one that smelled. I did get a package of 5 from a store (can't remember the brand) but they smelled HORRIBLE. I had to go out and get some more Moo ones for Layla. Free Range Dog Chews - Moo Bully Sticks

| They smell.....even the lightest coloured ones would smell....and my hubby just put an end to the bully sticks. If she got up on the couch and was chewing it, the couch would smell. So my poor baby doesn't get any more bull penis to chew on!! |

Here's one of her threads....its old but you'll know who sells them: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...tick-sale.html

| I've never bought any Bully Sticks, but I might give them a try if they keep them busy...and don't smell TOO bad! Do they make a mess like raw hide? When we used to give our Cocker rawhide it would be everywhere...all over the couch, carpet, etc! |

| They stink SO bad!!! But... I'll deal with it sometimes because it is just about the only thing that keeps Mia occupied besides the everlasting treat ball.

| We bought something called flossies and talk about stink...P.U! I thought one of the girls had pooped in the house and it was the flossie! These are dried tendons. YUCK! I threw them away.
