| They say they are natural and when things are natural, they "have" to load them up with chemicals to keep them from rotting on the shelves. "Poop" is natural too, but I sure wouldn't want my dogs eating it. Please re-think about giving them bully sticks. It's like the dog food...it ISN'T government regualted. Do you ever wonder why there are no labels on bully sticks telling you what they have in and on them? Would "you" eat them? I would NEVER feed my guys anything I would eat. |

| I said that wrong. I meant I would NEVER feed my guys anything that I "wouldn't" eat. WEW! |

| Well, regardless of how they are made or what they are I think I'm going to have to stop feeding them anyway. 3 out of my 6 dogs have had icky poop since yesterday when I gave them the bully sticks. So, I have officially retired the bully sticks in my house. That didn't last long lol

| hehe.. I would have loved to.. but I think they ate all of them (I have 5 large dogs and 1 midget one.. that's Harley ) and whatever was left.. I think my ferrets stole and hid last night. I'll have to pull my bed and dresser out tomorrow to see if they stashed any. (those are their regular stashing sites )

| I had only bought 3 sticks. 2 large ones for the 5 large dogs to share, Lady, Clovis, Zeus, TA & Forest and 1 little one for Harley. Harley still has most of his left but the other 2 are gone.

| That doesn't seem like enough to make them sick. I am so sorry. Did it affect all of them?

| Only 3 out of my 6 had icky poo. I don't think my biggest dog Lady wanted anything to do with it. Zeus kept hiding and guarding his from Forest who obviously didn't get any at all.. Clovis pretty much demolished his but then shared with my older dog TA. Harley still has his because he's so slow at doing everything he does and I went ahead and pulled it away from him. I thought I broke his wee little heart.

| I am a huge bullystick fan! My dogs love them, no icky poo here. The pups start chewing on them as soon as they are old enough to chew. Like any products there are different suppliers and quality levels. I DO NOT like the expensive Red Barn Bully Sticks, 'cause they are rather "greasy" and stinky. All 7 yorkie kids plus Boo the Boxer LOVE LOVE LOVE the bully sticks I get from ebay's eddieb260. I would compare them to a thick hard piece of beef jerky. Keep in mind a little biology lesson -- the bull's penis is sheathed so there is no hide, just a nice piece of lean beef tendon. The bully's are advertised as being from free range, chemical free bulls. That means that these bulls are not fed commercially prepared grain full of growth hormones AND they are not treated with pour on or injectible chemicals. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information, but I can tell you that I have been feeding eddieb260's bully sticks for about 6 months. The dogs love them and have sparkling white teeth. |

| I'm not saying that bully sticks are going to make everybodys dogs have icky poop. lol Just my guys rarely get something 'new' in their diet and I think it just messed with the 'schedule' a little bit. Not a big deal but I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to getting my neck rung by my bf for random doggie piles in the house! hehe The poo wasn't super bad either, it was just much softer than it normally is and proved to be harder to clean up. I feed Nutro Natural Choice and Natural Balance so I think I'm spoiled with them when it comes to nice solid poo lol Wow, this is a gross post.. lol Sorry!
