Im not anti bully stick nor do I sell them. Im just sharing my experiance and learning from others as many posted they too had bacterial infections after giving bullys. Mine loved them so much and I hate that I am so scared of them now. I really do. I cannot comfortably give my dogs a long lasting chew that they love so much anymore. It bothers me. It bothers me more what i seen my dog go thru and having to leave her in the hospital even more. My sister has Bella's sister, Ada. Her favorite thing is flossies so I even buy those for her and thats my sisters choice. She knows very well what I went thru and sat at the hospital with me but she chooses to give them and thats ok. I have been warned Merrick food is bad but thats what i feed. Its really no big deal. I researched and came up with my own personal conclusion on it and thats it. I do however appreciate all the info I can get on something before I buy it and thats all I was trying to share. Im sorry if it offended you and if Joey loves bully's by all means give them. I would never say a word about it. Just sharing my experiance and what i felt in my heart caused this. I could not tell you if they were expired or not they were a gift for Diggys birthday I got like 5 of them from all different people and places. Again no offense intended nor will I ever preach anti bully Just sharing my experiance.
