These bully sticks are odor free and not chemically treated. They are drained vertically and then spun dried to remove as much as possible. Any of the bully products that are braided, twisted etc… will have more of an odor because they are wet when shaped. Since they don’t chemically treat the products there is still a slight odor which most competitors call “odor free”. The only way to truly get a completely odor free product is to chemically treat them. (Which I will not buy). The smell of these are not offensive.
Most Bully Sticks in petstores come from India and other countries outside of South America in very poor living conditions.
These bullys come from South America (Argentina, Brazil) from cattle that are free range--which means, they graze freely on green grass. They are not given hormones or steroids or feed. People ask why not America cattle, and the answer is it is very expensive. (they can't keep enough in stock) Most America cattle is forced to grow at a faster pace, so they are given growth hormones and are fed in feeding lots. So, it is close to impossible for all of us to buy American made bully's. Especially, affordable ones.
It is more important (for me) to know I am buying from a safe country that does the process correctly and that is what I have found.
The deer antlers, lamb and pig ears that they sell are all US based. (I have not ordered these products yet) |
