If it's better for my babies, then a little smell doesn't bother me at all.

I'd rather stink up my whole house to have them happy and safe, rather than have no smell and them be happy and in potential danger.

I guess every household is different. For us the smelliness is not an option. So, the search for a healthy, and less offensive, alternative continues.

They do make bully sticks that don't smell. From what I've read, it depends on how they are prepared. If they are baked horizontally, then they have more of an odor. If they are baked vertically, then they don't.
