Bully Sticks - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Josie finish her bully stick and what was left of Jacks I threw it away. Josie keep the last bit of hers in her mouth trying to find a hiding place. Finally she found a place to hide it I was laughing watching her hide it. When she left the area although she guarded it for a while I took it and threw it away. It was way too small to leave laying around.
I threw the bag of sticks back in the box and closed it (I could still smell them) and put the box in bottom of pantry. I figured later I would seperate some out and maybe freeze some. This morning Josie starts smelling around pantry door. She wouldn't leave. Jack even at one point started barking at her. Scared me to death when he was barking cause I was in shower and normally he doesn't bark like that unless someone is at door. I jumped out of shower and sneeked in kitchen to see what all the fuss was about. There is Josie sitting at pantry door and Jack just barking at her. Guess he couldn't figure out why she wouldn't move either. I just laughed. Took the bag of stix and threw in fridge. Threw the box outside garbage.
I guess she could smell them and wanted one now! LOL. I gave them carrot stix instead. I guess there is going to be fights over those bully sticks.

LOL!!!!! That is such a cute story. The makers of that chew should give you a discount on your next order if they hear that story. My former Yorkie, tiny Jilly, was a real chewer and would chew like she would never get another and once done, demand another, which I was afraid to give her. She would stay at it and I would try to distract her for hours. Finally, I would have to admonish her for such an attitude with her mommy and then she would be quiet - though I felt her cool resentment for making her shush up about it all for quite some time after that. It is so cute the way some of them are just bonkers over chewie things! Jack and Josie are real fans of their bully sticks and good luck managing them from here on out until the new wears off. I love it! Made me smile. I can still see Josie's face in that picture...............

My order came today. I gave Lil Bit and Beamer each a bully stick.
Beamer took his outside into the yard, Lil Bit dropped hers in the living room.
Beamer came back into the house, into the living room and stole Lil Bit's and is busy chewing on it.
I went to the yard and retrieved the one Beamer took outside and gave it to Lil Bit.

I haven't opened the Himalayan chews yet. Should have given them one of those first to see how they like them.

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?

Did you get the odor free ones?? I got the odor free ones and they are fine.

ebstamper · 03-23-2011, 12:31 PM

I just got mine today and Bella (shih tzu) LOVESSSS it!! she has not put it down!! They do stink though

I got them from bestbullystick.com! Next time I will have to try to oder free ones

Does anyone know if 13 weeks is to young to give a bully stick to? Gabby wants to try Bellas so bad but I wont let her because I do not want it to hurt her!!

mscat · 03-23-2011, 02:56 PM

I am interested in the oder free ones... But, have not found any in stores . So I guess i'll need to order them . What is the best website for these kind? I also throw away them when they become too small, that is when I worry of choking.

I've found the BEST deals to be at Bully Sticks - All Natural Dog Treats - Best Bully Stick. The odor free ones don't have any odor to me.

I think Ian would love them, but I am nervous about giving them to him

Yes, they can choke...and also have obstructions with bully sticks.

I know a lot of people on YT love bully sticks, but some have had bad experiences.

Of course some people had bad experiences, it happens with everything. But I believe dogs need a chance to be able to chew and I think bully sticks and Himalayan chews are a much safer option than rawhides and some other things that are available in pet stores. There's even been complaints about nylabones so our options would be pretty limited if we didn't use everything that someone complained about, ya know? But it's definitely good to know the risks... I know you weren't trying to be like "No bully sticks!!"

While I agree with you on most counts....I don't agree on the Dura Hard Nylabones. The only thing I have heard is a possibility of a chipped tooth. They are not edible.
But...I merely posted what I did to inform. It only takes one incident .. and we never know when that incident might happen.
Personally, yes, I am a No Bully Sticks person, but I don't advocate that for everyone. People do what they feel is best.

I understand where your coming from. Unfortunately, my dog does not like Nylabones and he needs something to chew (or else he will find other things, like plastic barbie dolls, lol) so bully sticks are amazing for us and have not caused ANY issues in 2.5yrs. I think majority would say there have never been issues from their dogs chewing on bully sticks so it's a small risk. I think there is equally as much of a risk of chewing a nylabone as a bully stick but there is risk with everything. I would give nylabones if he liked them.
