I remember when I first found out, I was like
GROSS!! Everyone around me always asks "WHY do you buy those things?!" But Jackson LOVES them (flossies & bully sticks!) to pieces so I couldn't let him suffer without. lol. Plus, he had a choking incident with a rawhide so never again. I have, on occasion, given him those smaller rawhide dental-like sticks and he did fine but not in months. I avoid rawhides at most all costs. I HAVE gotten a few kinds that smell HORRIBLE. I must say though, the seller AMD on here... hers are great and do not smell at all. Jackson went through them pretty quickly though, as he's 14lbs so from now on, I'm thinking I may just buy the 12 inch or larger ones and maybe cut them up. There's a store near my house that sells all the great brands of food and treats and they like a 24 inch bully stick, that thing was massive LOL.
