I was grossed out at first, too... but it doesn't LOOK like a penis or anything, LOL. It's literally just looks like a stick or something. Those pig snouts, etc gross me out more because they are
literally a pigs snout and it's very apparent that it is, lol. *shudders* Jackson loves his bully sticks, they are pretty much the only thing he will chew on besides Himalayan chews, but he likes bullies better.
I am so thankful to have found YT member Baxtersmommy because the regular sticks she has don't smell at all to me... I purchased 2 from the local pet store this weekend to tide Jackson over and they smelled disgusting! I couldn't stand it! I guess I forgot about how terrible they smelled since I've gotten spoiled w/ the non-smelly kind, ha. AMD also has good non-smelly ones but for some reason Jackson (15lbs) went through those alot faster.
