Bully Sticks - Where to Get?

[courtney1121]

Oh okay. I'll just order more in a few days. I think Geno will probably like the stinkier ones too haha

I would get a 6" or 8" stick for a little puppy. You might want to start with the thin ones. I usually get the 12" regular size thickness for Gracie and she is a 5lb girl. I used to get her the 8" ones but I throw them away at 3" so I was having to buy more quite often. A 12" bully stick will last her a couple of weeks and she does not mind that they are about the same size as she is!

I've never had smelly non-odor ones from Bully Sticks - All Natural Value Dog Treats - Best Bully Stick either. I did get the regular 8" ones once and they definitely had more odor - but it was dealable. I did not think they were unbearable. I just prefer odor free.

They were delivered in a zip lock bag and when I took them out, I smelled them and I was like ew but figured that they might not give off a scent while he's chewing it. Nope, it like lingers in your nose, it's so gross. I tell Geno it smells like a dirty bathroom but since he likes them, I just keep letting him chew it and momma just puts a blanket mask on lol Should I e-mail them or something about my order?

I get the odor free bully sticks too and yes, they do have a distinct smell to them in the bag and somewhat when chewed on, but it is NOTHING compared to the regular ones....they smell nasty!

Well I figured they might have a smell in the bag but once Geno started chewing on it, I was gagging. My boyfriend just walked by me and is like wow those do stink! Geno absolutely loves them so I suck it up but hoping I end up getting the odor free ones this time around and they don't end up sending me the wrong ones again.

I found some today at Target. I will try them oUt on my puppy tomorrow and see if he likes them.

Thanks everyone! I will try Petsmart and Target when we go to the capital - and I've requested a free sample from the website you provided. Hopefully they enjoy them!

I always get mine from Marcs. I do not know if any of yas have a Marcs store but they have great deals on Bully Sticks

Thank you everyone for this post. I have been giving Jersey(7 month old) rawhide. I now changed to bully sticks. I ordered from EBay with the link that gracielove provided. They got here in two days! Thank you so much!

FYI, best bully sticks sells a 5 pack of 6" sticks on amazon with free shipping. Amazon.com: Best Bully Stick - 5 ct. Bully Sticks...
Good way to try them out for cheap. If you order on their website you don't get free shipping unless you buy a ton. I've also noticed that the smell varies depending on the batch. I always buy the regular kind, and sometimes they have almost no odor, and sometimes they reek.

My experience for 2 years has been the odor free have no odor so I'm sure the regular have some odor

I agree with you about the smell varying. I have noticed that the regular ones vary in color. I think the darker ones have had less drainage and tend to smell more. The odor free ones I have gotten are a much lighter color and are much more brittle. I have read the odor free ones are allowed to drain out so I guess that is why they are more brittle than the regular ones. Gracie can chew down an odor free one at least twice as fast as she can a regular one. I have been letting her have an odor free one for when we are watching TV in bed but she has the regular ones that she can chew on the floor. This is all to gross for me to think about too much. She needs them to help her release some of her pent up energy and I need them because she is a much better behaved dog when she has them.

Ok - went to a pet store an hour away and they had Bully Sticks! They had the odor free 12" ones on sale for $5.99, so I bought one and they broke it in half for me. They loved it! Jackson chewed it for a while longer then his brother, but they definitely, chewed them up. I took them away for the night and will give them back to them tomorrow.

Is there any taste difference with the odor free ones vs odor?

Thanks!

We get ours at Wal Mart or PetSmart. Katie Scarlett loves them! I know I read somewhere that when you buy them you need to look for where they are made and do not buy ones that are made overseas??? Does anyone remember that? Maybe Indonesia? I can't remember it exactly, but I know I read that somewhere and I thought it was on YT. I made sure I read and the ones we get are made in the USA.
