| I just bought a bully stick from a pet boutique and it is odor free. The bully's from Petsmart are very stinky. Make sure it is made in the USA. I buy 6.5 inch. |

| I get the straight ones and they last ella two weeks. She doesnt chew constantly tho just when she is in the mood. So it depends on the dog. My bf's poodle mix has the same ones and they last her about 4 hours lol.

| I 've only purchased the straight ones. I am assuming that the curly or braided sticks give more of a challenge. I am no expert, I am still learning from the members here. I am sure someone will answer that for you. |

| We love AMD's bully sticks! I get Gizmo the swirly ones and the bully bones. His favorite are the bully bones, he can finish one of those off in less than an hour!

| My two prefer the Merrick Bully Sticks. They are more expensive than AMD's but they last much longer. They are also stinky! My two did like the swizzles from AMD, but not the bully sticks. Weird, I know. Pet Value sells Merrick Bully Sticks and what nots. Otherwise, you can find them on line. Be prepared for sticker shock! Oh...one more thing. I buy the 6" ones.

| AMD ( westbrookdog.com ) I totally agree that AMD has the best ones, great quality, no smell, inexpensive and Dooie loves them!! We have so far only bought the 5" but I just ordered the 6.5" about 10 seconds ago.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I've never tried any other brand except Merrick, but they work great for us, they are harder than most sticks and so they last a week. I don't give them for a snack, but I use them to help clean his teeth in place of bones. Just make sure the kind you use, aren't too soft, and they can just eat them quickly. The one good thing about bully sticks over most chewing sticks is that they are 100% digestible.

| I get the 6.5" from Westbrook Dog (AMD's site). Zoey much prefers them to Merrick's, which are indeed extremely stinky! Merrick's are more expensive, but last much longer, so I think they end up being more economical for a tough little chewer like my Zo. And heaven knows, money's tight. However! I buy AMD's anyway, because Zoey absolutely insists on it. Plus, I like AMD and she's very customer oriented. A killer combination.
