| How do you store your bully sticks? Since bully sticks and flossies are an animal product, should they be refrigerated or frozen? Or is it ok to leave them in a cabinet? I just received an order of them and don't want them to spoil. Thanks!

| I keep mine in a ziplock baggie (the thicker freezer ones) in a kitchen cabinet.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Being a dehydrated product bully sticks should be safe stored in the cabinet. I wouldn't want to store them in a refrigerator because they could collect moisture and that would ruin them.

| I have always bought mine in bulk and kept them in the freezer and taking out 10 at a time and putting them in the fridge (in a zip lock bag)....I haven't run into any problems so far, but not wondering if I shouldn't put them in the freezer/fridge

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | As a dried out product they should not need refrigeration. Merrick's come individually wrapped, and I don't store them any special way. Some bully sticks are made with preservatives, and have expiration dates, so careful storage would be important.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | The freezer is probably okay. My husband makes jerky and it's dehydrated of course, but he does store it in the freezer (he says it stays fresher tasting). The refrigerator would be okay for a few days but anything more and I would worry about moisture.
