Dharma is going through her Bully Sticks very slowly and we have a bunch of them!! Are they okay in a ziplock bag in the cabinet or should they be in the refrigerator? Help!!

Thanks

I suppose it depends on the brand. I don't store Joey's in the refrigerator, but they are individually wrapped, and extremely hard, which means they are dry. The softer ones have more moisture, and as you know bacteria need moisture to live and multiply. The refrigerator would be a good place if you live in a humid climate, and they are unwrapped.

I use to buy in bulk and keep them in the freezer. Never had any problems.

Not sure about everyone's bullies but the ones I gave you last up to a year before getting brittle.
