I just bought braided bully sticks for my babies. It's the first time they have ever had them. Wow they stink

All 3 babies are soooo quiet and eating them but omg the smell!

are enjoying them and keeping them busy.

Oh yeah! I found some at the holistic pet store near my house that don't smell nearly as bad as the ones I bought at Petsmart. Those smelled so bad actually we threw them away. Try a holistic store for some maybe they won't be as bad!

These are from a holistic store. Once they stopped trying to take each others away from them they settled down and now they are happy, happy babies. I can't wait till my husband gets home from work and smells this house.

my kids are just gaging lol These are braided, maybe next time I just buy the singles. Whatever they are happy, that's all that matters right. The heck with the skin kids they will survive haha

whew bully sticks DO smell...my bf always complains when one of the kids is eating one lol...we tried the bully sticks from a seller on here and her site is westbrookdog.com and they are much less smelly

they still have a bit of an odor but it is more of a smokey (like bbq maybe?) smell rather than the regular bully stick smell...maybe give those a try? she is having a sale on them as well!

lol Yeah, they sure DO!
I just gave Turky his first cow hoove yesterday and that's pretty gnarly, too!(makes his beard smell like cow manure

) Man, does he love them both tho!

Katamami29 · 02-05-2009, 05:22 PM

yes they smell horrible.
Mia loves them when ever I put her in her crate and dont want her to complain I give it to her. When I take it away I always have to wash her face and paws cause the stink super bad.

I found some at Petco that didn't smell. The ones I bought from PetsMart make me gag so I couldn't let Diva chew them. Yuck!

Pettysmith · 02-05-2009, 06:49 PM

I get some at a pet store near me that are vanilla flavored. They don't smell bad at all.

naturalallure · 02-05-2009, 10:06 PM

inquiring minds would like to know....
what exactly do they smell like??

Woogie Man · 02-06-2009, 12:14 AM

I found a site that explains that how they are dried affects whether they smell or not. Here's the link...Are All Bully Sticks Processed the Same Way? | Don't Your Pets Deserve the Best?

I live in South Africa and have no clue what a bully stick is, sounds grim, my baby loves hooves though

Lovetodream88 · 02-06-2009, 05:07 AM

I have tried Westbrookdog.com' Bully Sticks and they smell just like the regular rawhide bones. There is no bad smell at all. And yes, my dogs love them too so I'm glad I don't have to withhold them. Actually, I'm putting in an order today.

I'm going to have some happy yorkies!

After 3 days I threw those things away my dogs loves them but the smell is like dirty #%$
