Some bully sticks even have expiration dates on them which probably means chemicals were used in the processing. It's not easy to find Merrick Bully sticks locally, and so I get my online. |

No, the green beans and peas are not new to Nini. I think they are new to Nicky (my new boy), but he had them too, plus the bully stick and he's fine. If Nini continues to have those dark circles under her eyes, I'll just let the vet look her over again. I'm just afraid to give her any more meds.
From China?
I threw all of them in the trash! I'll make sure that the next batch I get is home made. The ones that I got, didn't have information on them at all. No stickers with place of origin, made of, or made by, expiration; nothing. The vet said that they are made from the bull's testicles??? I didn't know that's what they meant by 'tendons.'
I also thought that they were all the same and safe. I stand corrected, everything that goes into their mouth should be investigated by mommy
