Bully Stick Recommendations

[Melcakes]

Does anyone have any good recommendations on Bully Sticks - all natural and preferably made in South America or from "green cattle" which don't stink (not sure if that is possible though)!

Also what size do you recommend for the little ones and has anyone every tried the flossie/curly ones?

I've heard good things about Merrick bully sticks but also read that they are made in the USA and cattle in the US is kept in feedlots and encouraged to grow at a much faster rate (growth hormones) than free-ranging cattle which is safer and more healthier.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into them all.

My girl is a chewer (at that age) and teething so the Bully Sticks work wonders I found out. Got Zoey her 1st one the other day and she LOVED it but boy did it smell! I was a mean momma and threw it out after a day and a half. It was one of those 12 inch ones. To see little Zoey dragging that thing around and chewing on it was pretty cute. Might go with the smaller ones next time around though. I need to immediately replace the one I threw out or I'll be on someone's cr*p list I think.

107barney - Do you mind me asking why your dogs aren't allowed to eat them anymore?

And VickyG - do the ones you get (BestBully) smell bad at all?

Thanks Ryan!

You can see my thread in the poll section and I explain all about my bully's. They are free range green cattle from Brazil/Argentina. They do not smell. I love them and so glad I found a reputable source so I can offer them on YT.

FYI
I gave my 2 boys a Merrick bully a couple nights ago and boy did I regret it. I am sure some are not bad, but this one 12 inch I bought made my boys miserable. They threw up for 4 hours. Never again.

OMG. Poor little guys. My little girl last night was constipated it appeared and she threw up for the 1st time too. Hmm I wonder if it was the Bully Stick I gave her. It was a 12 inch one and her 1st one ever! I'll have to look at the wrapper. It was another Brand, not the Merrick but I wonder if that could have caused her to throw-up last night!! Do you usually feed your boys Bully Sticks?

I will NEVER buy another bully stick at a pet store. Many of them are made in India or other poor country in very bad living conditions. They are coated with something and they dry them horizontally so it does drain well (stinky) I dont trust commercial stores and that just topped it off for me. I knew better than to buy it, but I was waiting for mine to get here. It was my fault for trusting it. So, I won't buy anything at a store except toys.

My dogs are power chewers. They all go through them so fast. These that I found to sell are GREAT! They dont smell and the kids love them. I actually talked to the owner of the company and grilled him. I know everything there is to know about these bullys.

I also give free shipping when you purchase 5. No one on the web does that (that I know of)

Yes, I will NEVER buy a bully stick at a pet store again too! It really makes me question if that's why Zoey got sick last night! But I'll be putting in my order with you tomorrow for some good Bully's. Thanks so much!

I purchased mine from BaxtersMommy and am awaiting their arrival.

Previously, I would buy Jackson the 12 inch sticks from Pet Valu and we never had any problems with them. They were about $3.80 for a 12 inch one and they didn't smell too awful (nothing like ones we've tried before). They lasted my 16lb boy about a week, but he's not a real aggressive chewer. I don't like the bully sticks from Petsmart, Petco, etc. They're usually over $5 for the 6 inch ones and he eats those sooo fast.

But I will be ordering from BaxtersMommy from now on because it's the BEST price I've found (besides my Pet Valu) with free shipping, and they are odorless.

They really don't smell too bad IMO. Not compared to the Merrick we've tried. They meet all your other criteria as well . I get the 6" thick ones.

I get these at Best Bully when AMD is out...

I just received the 5" braided sticks from AMD today (out of the regular ones for a while now I guess), and Rocco loves it. It does not stink like the one I bought at Petco and promptly threw out 2 hours later (bad mommy). And I just saw the post that BaxtersMommy sells them too, and I will definitely be ordering some from her as well...NEVER again from a pet store.

Thank you! If Jackson eats these fast I can get jumbo ones, they are thicker, let me know. I am knew to this so I am trying to figure out what everyone likes. The jumbos are about .90 cents more, so they would be 4.65. I searched the sites and most people charge $6-7 in shipping and the ones I got online were stinky. I really think mine are great quality. Thanks so much for your order, if you didn't get them today I bet you will have them Monday.
