Does the raw make a mess? I know they can eat raw without getting sick, but mine would drag a raw bone all over the house, couch, carpet, bed, etc...

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.
