| I would put them in the fridge in a ziplock baggy or something like that because you don't want any bacteria collecting on it as goes for any chewy edible item like that. I do mine.

hmm ok in a bag.. what is the difference in leaving them out or putting them in the fridge? How long can you leave them in the fridge?

| Well i read somewhere that the bacteria could possibly make them sick... not 100 percent sure but just to be safe when my babies are done I put them in the fridge in a baggy...Im sure they would last until they were used simply because you can keep them out but if you just leave them laying around they can get the bacteria...I would get a second opinion though since this is just what i read. Also do you ever buy bully sticks from AMD? they are a lot cheaper than pet stores!

| It can't hurt to put it in the fridge. I would. Don't want that baby getting sick.

| Yes, you really should try hers. The ones from AMD don't smell like the ones from Petsmart do. And her prices are great.

| I freeze them between uses. I just had to buy a red barn bully also today, and surprisingly it doesn't smell. |

| Yes, AMD is a YT member. Her website is www.westbrookdog.com That is where I get all of mine. They are light in color and appear to be fresher than the ones at the pet stores. Cheaper too I never put mine in the fridge. When she gets through chewing I just let it air dry naturally. She has never gotten sick from one. |

| I BUY BULLY STICKS FROM WESTBROOK DOG ALSO. I BOUGHT ALOT OF THEM THE LAST TIME. WHAT I WAS WONDERING IS DO YOU NEED TO FREEZE OR KEEP IN FRIDGE BEFORE THEY USE? AND IF THEY ARE IN BAGGIE IN CUPBOARD HOW LONG DO THEY LAST? DO THEY GET MOLDY OR ANYTHING? |

| I get the 12' ones.. Just bc Peanut chews on them alot!! I will take it away when it gets to about 3" so he doesnt choke.. I get the "red barn" brand from petsmart.. if you buy one it is $3 something but I just bought a 6 pk of 12" for $21.00 so its like 3 bucks a stick plus tax... not TOO bad and these ones dont smell
