I have never seen these products before so I went ahead and ordered some of the bully sticks and the himalyan chews for when my baby comes home. Thanks for the suggestion and the code

Any reason you prefer the non-smelly? i ask because my babies are sick again and I'm trying to narrow down the culprit

No reason really other than my own nose, LOL. I can't stand that straight from the barn smell, hahaha. I love Bully Sticks - All Natural Dog Treats - Best Bully Stick as it's the best deal I've found THUS far. Plus they always have specials and discounts. And Jackson loves their bully's and never had any stomach problems with them... and they last longer (I buy the thick ones). For 50 of the 6" odor free bully's I got 'em for $71 including shipping. Whereas in the store one smelly non-thick 6" one can cost between $3-$5 a piece and he can finish them off really quick.

I would think once a month is definately not too often. I try to give mine a bully stick about weekly. I use the 4" ones. I get them in bulk on ebay. I like the small ones so they will eat them in one sitting. I do not like the idea of a moist, chewed-on bully stick hanging around the house to gather germs. So, if they do not finish before leaving it, I throw it away. Since I went to the shorter bully sticks, I have not had to throw any away. They hang on to them until they are done.

I love them for when I want to watch a movie or have some adult conversation. Especially if I have company and put in a movie, the pups can be counted on to drag out the squeaky toys demanding attention. A bully stick for each will usually give me a couple of hours peace & quiet. They are so much like human kids!

Aren't the ones on E-bay from Bestbullysticks?

I looked at the ones on there and they all seem to have bestbullysticks as the seller.

Beamers Mom · 03-18-2011, 06:40 PM

Hmm I just saw the same ones I got from their website on their listing on E-bay. Buying through E-bay with free shipping is $38.50.
Buying them on their website and paying for shipping is $34.94
($27.99 for the bully sticks and $6.95 for the shipping)

(Those are the odor free 6" standard, pack of 25)

Thanks, I'm going to try them as soon as I'm out of bully sticks. The box that I usually get has different thickness. The thick ones are good for Nini--they last longer for her. For Nicky, I have to give the thin ones (poor thing, he can't make a dent on the thick ones and he gets frustrated).

My hb picks the box up in NY for $110, but I cut them in half. The problem is the smell on some boxes and that scares me because I keep thinking 'chemicals'

Yep, keeping them around after a chew doesn't seem very sanitary for me either. The non-curly ones used to start turning green at the part they were chewing on. Now I use the curly ones, which my babies finish in a few minutes

.

bully-sticks = peace & quiet. You're lucky you can get a couple of hours from them (I get less than 1/2 hour

).

)

I'm curious what yours will think of the Himalayan chews. Max will chew on it if there's nothing else around. The first one I got Cooper he buried in the backyard

but I've never seen him chew one.

Well, they should be here on Wednesday so I'll let you know

I just placed my first order for Bully sticks, I ordered the 6" standard.
Maybe Lucy will chew on them instead of me.

I am new to her and just got a little girl Gabby!I have heard a lot about bully sticks and have looked at them a dew times for my 2 year old shih tzu. How young is too young for them the get a bully stick? Gabby is 12 almost 13 weeks old! I ordered some for Bella, my shih tzu, and I was wondering if it would hurt Gabby to eat them!! Thanks!!

We got our bully sticks today. I started a thread and posted a picture.
Jack and Josie love them. Josie hasn't stopped since 5pm. Jack comes and goes back with his. Josie is trying to hog both. She sits on one and chews on the other. She even had 2 in her mouth at one time. These are typical kids.
What the heck is the smell?

Desire123 · 03-22-2011, 11:39 PM

I just gave Jack his first bully stick EVER today! He's almost 4 now so you can imagine how excited he was to get something new. I was so nervous to give him one because I was worried about him choking and not being able to digest it. He seems to enjoy it and I only let him have it for 20 min today. I may give it to him for another 20 min tomorrow. I have also heard of himalayan chews. They seem to be a big hit here on yorkietalk.
