Yes, I love the Merrick brand; I mean Joey loves them. I got over a years worth when I bought them on e-bay; they are individually wrapped, and have no expiration date, and use no preservatives. They preserve them through a drying process. The first ones we opened seem to be much stronger smelling than the ones we opened up later on. I live in AZ were the air is very dry, and I don't know if this is the reason that they don't seem to have much of an odor now, or there is some other reason. He loves them now as much as when they were new. It's very durable, one six inch stick last a whole week, and he loves them.
By the way, some companies do use preservatives, and I don't like that if it's not necessary. Also some brands do have an expiration date on them, and one member who used a bully stick after the expiration date claimed her dog became very ill, so you would want to be careful of this.
