Oh man, that's $$$

Okay, first,
I'd recommend you try a few from AMD - she is such a great seller and her Bullies don't smell, which is SO nice - and they're thick and awesome. Most of the yorks go NUTS for her sticks - there is even a video of Tatum *crying* as she is trying her first (think it's her first time?) AMD bully, it's so freakin' cute!
My problem (dang me)...is that I first (for a couple years) went w/ eddieb260 from eBay for my bullies and my steers (I don't think AMD was selling when I was first buying...?). Anyway, they are slightly more stinky and my dogs got used to that. So then when I tried AMD's, my dogs
loved them at first, and then they wanted their old stinky ones again
. Problem is, I personally think eddieb's chews became way (the last year or so) more stinky than they were before, so I think he has switched suppliers over time (?).
SO...long explanation...I am making my dogs take a long break from bullies (using only CET chews right now) with the hope that when we go back to bullies, I can sneak them back to using AMD's Bullies ONLY, not eddieb's chews. (although, I will say his
steer stix don't stink as bad, for the most part)
Sorry for the long version....but it was sorta needed bc my guys aren't chewing bullies right now so it wouldn't be honest to say they were
....
