The Flossie is made from a beef tendon and is the top selling treat from Merrick. The unique design of this treat creates a natural chewing friction against the teeth which helps to clean a dog's teeth. We have not met a dog yet who has turned down one of these tasty treats. All Merrick chew treats are all natural with no preservatives, additives or artificial colors and are made from U.S.D.A sourced ingredients. The treats are only dried, not smoked.

| sorry to burst your bubble but flossies are made of bull penis too (the penis IS a tendon by the way!). there's a couple other threads on here that say this. a few people called Merrick to verify. sorry! I am still looking for a good NON penis chew for my pup! |

| I have heard that bully sticks were made from bull penises but I didn't know that about flossies. Why do they look so different from bullys? For those looking for a non-penis choice, my dog love Petrodex dental chews and they really help with their breath too. I'll still have to buy flossies thogh, penis or no penis.
