I was curious about the Bully Sticks and Flossies. I had my suspicion that they were all made of bull pizzle (bull penis) but wrote to Merrick to make sure.
This is what they said:
"
Hello Debra,
Thanks for inquiring: The Flossies and the Bully Stix are both actually made from the bull pizzle.
If I can be of further assistance please le me know.
Best regards,

So, as gross as we may think they are -- the pups sure seem to love them. I understand why so many just say they are made from tendon. It sounds better and not everyone has to know which tendon your Yorkies are chewing on. I gave my DIL a baggie full of the Bully sticks for her pekinese when she picked him up tonight. But I asked her not to tell her whole family what I was sending home with her.
