| Can you buy bully sticks at the big chain pet stores? My 3 dogs just love treats. They love greenies, dingo bones, chicken strips, and vitakraft beef sticks. I love to make them happy, but I worry everytime I give them a greenie even though my vet says it is perfectly safe. The dingos I dont worry about too much till they get down to the end and then I try and sneak them away and throw them. The beef sticks seem harmless but are expensive with three dogs as are the chicken strips,plus they dont last very long. So, I hear you all talk about the bully sticks and am interested. Do your dogs really love them, like they did with greenies, and where can I get them? Thanks. Laura |

| I'd stay away from greenies and anything with rawhide or by products in it. I just feel those things are entirely too dangerous to give to someones pet. Bully sticks are great, but you have to be careful where you buy them from. Some places, the way they manufacture them and where they get them from, they can be as bad as anything else for your pet. Make sure they are from free range fed buffalo. I get mine from www.beyondspoiled.com and they are called Pixie Sticks! I also get them at Pet Supplies Plus and they are by Merricks. Hope this helps you! |

| Greenies gave Misha problems, she couldn't digest them. I saw bully sticks at Petsmart last weekend, there even individually wrapped. I thought that was cool, since the last time I bought them at a pet store people were handling them & throwing them back in the bin.

| They have bully sticks at Petsmart but they are so expensive to buy them that way. You could try a couple from there to see if they like them. If they love them like all 4 of mine do then you can order them in bulk off of ebay. I couldn't afford to keep mine in bully sticks if I had to rely on Petsmart. LOL I only give mine bully sticks and once a day a chicken jerky treat which they also love. |

| My Yorkie loves the Bully Sticks. We buy them at a pet store not far from us called Pet Supplies Plus. I don't know if their a chain store of not. I forget how much we pay for them there, but let's just say, I wasn't shocked at the price and we buy them there quite often. I never gave my two Greenies, I'm just still worried about them and probably will never give them any.
