With all due respect, it seems a little suspicious that you claim your dog's got "deathly sick" on Merrick bully Sticks, but now are selling a competing brand. Did you report this to the Merrick Company? If my dog got deathly ill on Merricks, I would not use ANY brand, let alone sell them. For the OP's information, I do not sell anything, and am in no way connected to the product.

Well I liked your word about Merrick bullysticks and also another told me about treachea too. Today I ordered the Merrick brand in both of these. Can I ask you how do you store your bullysticks? Also I think after Kinder is chewing on one I will probably put it in the fridge instead of leaving it lay around. Thank-you for the good knowledge which makes alot of sense to me. My Kinder is looking all over for her bullystick right now but they are on their way. Susan

Merrick bully sticks come individually wrapped, and I just store them in a cabinet in the house. I buy in bulk, and the supply often lasts over a year, and I've never had any problems at all.

Wow always learning something new about bullysticks after I bought them thinking they were safe. No problems with mine but I do store in fridge and once they are done that day I throw them out. I don't think I will order them again.

Another typical response. I havent posted a for sale thread for bullies in months. This is very rude. AND as a matter of fact, I did contact merrick. They were very kind, sent me a packet that I filled out. They asked where I got them, date etc. Their customer service was more than nice! I have no doubt they looked into it for me!! By the way, dogs get sick because of how they are processed and handled.

To the OP, the reason I started selling bullies was because of this incident. Buy your bullies where you want, I wasnt asking for a sale. My shopping site is more for fun. I have a full time business. I was only stating my history with bullies. Again, people take something and run with it and make you look terrible. It really does get old.

Aren't the bully sticks from Bully Sticks - All Natural Dog Treats - Best Bully Stick from the US? The website says USDA inspected and certified. As far as storing them, I let my boys chew and then when they are finished I put them in zip lock bags. I don't freeze or refrigerate them and they last a while.

No the cattle is from south america. But they are usda inspected and that's a must.

I like the Merrick Wishbones as a treat, and honestly, they seem to last longer than the bully sticks for us. I never researched to find out if it was a different tendon, etc that would make it last longer.

I will say we had a bad experience with only one Merrick product, and it was the moo tube. Ours had a greasy texture and were dark, like they were smoked. Baxter did not get an upset tummy, but it did not agree with Cooper at all. I never reported it, and I still order from them, I just stay away from anything that could be smoked, have smoke flavoring, or has lamb in it as I know they don't agree with my 3 furkids. The yorkies are just like humans and what works for one will not work for all. That does not qualify as something being wrong with that product to me, it just didn't work for us

I switched to another kibble brand when Merrick started adding the vitamin kibbles, as mine would eat around them. So now, I do not order from Merrick as frequently. I have ordered bully sticks from AMD and Baxter's Mommy and got wonderful service from both, and no bad aftereffects

I bought from bestbullysticks.com and I bought the ones from Brazil. They come from free range cattle but no more of these for Kinder. My vet said they can be USDA approved but they still are not cured right. Instead I ordered the Merrick bullysticks that are made in America. I do not trust anything outside of the country anymore. Maybe I just got a bad batch of bullysticks but I put them outside for the wolves and coyotes to chew on. We live in the country and I feed every animal around hopefully they don't get diarrea. Hope this helps you and others because my vet has been running across bullysticks that are imported making our babies sick.
