Some bully sticks stink more than others. "Steer sticks" smell worse than "bully sticks" although Merrick bully sticks are actually steer sticks, which is why they smell so bad. Bully Stick Jr's are also steer sticks. The other two brands I carry (the "premium" sticks - USA - and the "free range" sticks - Brazil) are actual bully sticks that have a much less offensive odor. They smell but they don't stink up the room or the furniture. I've also found bully sticks to be denser and last longer than steer sticks. Flossies are steer sticks which is why they stink.
I store them in airtight food safe containers. |
