| Bully sticks smell, but I've gotten good reviews about the 5" sticks I carry not smelling bad. They're only 69¢ each. |

| They have to be processed properly or they will smell badly. After they are "removed" they should be hung vertically until all the fluid drains from them. Then they are processed. The fluid is where the smell comes from. Try Bully Sticks – All Natural Dog Treats - Best Bully Stick. Excellent quality. We get the unsmoked. |

| My baby loves them! The ones I got from the pet store are pretty big. 12 inches long. The ones I got dont smell unless you put it up to your nose and smell it. But like someone else said on here, you put up with them (what they are) because they are safer. It looks like they form stringy stuff when chewed on instead of hard bits like a rawhide.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yes, they really are made from a bull's penis, this particular organ would be called a tendon, rather than a muscle. Tendon just sounds better.

| Ranch Rewards Bully Sticks Does anyone know anything about Ranch Rewards Bully Sticks? I ordered them from Petedge.com for my Darwin and he's chewing away, but I went back to the website and it says "Processed with only hot water and peroxide. Dried using natural sunlight. Absolutely no chemicals are used at any time" Is peroxide safe for the pups to be chewin and swallowing? The ones I got do not smell that bad unless you sniff it up close...but it does have a outer casing which turns white and filmy after he chews on it...I'm still pretty grossed out that they are bull penises... Will eating large amounts of this make his tummy upset? I've been giving it for about an hour at a time, then removing it. |

I have read a few threads about people saying that their dog's got sick after ingesting Bully Sticks, but it turned out they were not Merricks Bully Sticks, I've done a little research on it, and as some of you already know, it's still not safe to get products that are made in China, any food product, or toys meant for children or pets. Their quality control just isn't very good, I know they take these things seriously because the presidents of the firms in question have committed suicide after this happened, however I think they will have to go several years without any mishaps, before people start trusting them again. The problem that I see, is that other countries might import from China, and then import here, saying it's from their country, how would you know? There are probably other safe Bully Sticks besides Merricks, but since they are the largest producer, if there was a problem you would hear about it faster than with the smaller companies where you are unlikely to hear of any problems ever. I have written the Merrick company about the safety of their product and I am satisfied with what I have learned. By the way the question about them turning white when they are moist, that's natural, as they dry out again they darken.

| Hi quick question... I just picked up bully sticks for Cassi (she's 6.5 months old and 2.8 lbs). Am I supposed to let her chew on them until it's totally gone or take them away from her once it's been chewed to the point where it's soft and stringy?? |

I usually give them longer or thicker sticks so that they don't eat them as quickly.
