Bully Stix smell worse than King Kong's toe jam Okay - am I the only one who is beyond repulsed at the smell of bully stix? I'm a nurse, and believe me, I've smelled some pretty bad things - but these Bullies get really stinky while the dogs chew them. The calculation is thus: toe jam x long-term unwashed gym-usin' flesh + a 2-day-wet dish rag = Bullies smell. I feel better now. Anyone? Ann |
I have to say, they do have a "smell" to them. ;) But the ones we get by RedBarn aren't all that smelly. Besides it keeps Rudy entertained for a LONG.... time, so I feel it's worth the smell. :D :D P.S. Your calculation was so... funny. :grin2: |
I am a BIG bully stick fan but recently I tried some Pixie Sticks and they're awesome -- no yucky smell!! You can buy them here www.beyondspoiled.com The owner of the website if Kathryn_V, a YTmember. The Pixies Sticks are 5 sticks for $5, a great buy if you ask me! :p |

Interesting comments on the different smells from differing vendors. I got mine from eddieb on ebay - I wonder if others who buy from him notice the smell... |
I got some of the beef tendons from Tinkerbell's Closet that say they have no smell. I am super smell sensitive and I think they stink - so I can't imagine how bad bully sticks are!! I love your description of the stench btw!!!! |

Eddie's are the only ones I use, I have never noticed a smell at all, and believe me, I can smell poo from the other side of the house if one of my "monsters" decides to test me. I have not tried the others.......:) |
Too many dogs are getting sick and diarrhea off of those bully sticks. It's no wonder........look at what all they have to be putting in and on them to keep them from rotting on the shelves. And since it's a food product, why doesn't it have a proper label? You may want to check into these things before hand. I hear some have been recalled already too. |
Diarrhea???? Marcel is having a bout w/ diarrhea right now - and we just started Bullies last week. I know mine are safe from the recall bc they're from Eddieb. BUT, I did not know they are known for diarrhea. Are others experiencing this? |
I dont use bully sticks, my vet recommends good ole' femur bones. So thats what mine chew on as well as a few big knotted rawhides that are so big they only chew on them but can never actually eat them. |
Mine have never gotten diarea from the bully sticks |
We buy our bully sticks from beyond spoiled and also Merricks brand do not smell either! I will toss the few that I did make the mistake of getting a stinky one here or there and they had to go! |
Mine have never gotten diarrhea from Bully Sticks either. |

LMAO!!!!! Yeah, they're pretty stinky! |
Awhile back bully sticks came up in conversation and most of the dogs on that thread came down with diarreah after giving those. Just buy the femur bones. I boil them first, remove the marrow. Boiling does not make them splinter like most other bones. A good knuckle bone is also good for them and can also be boiled. |
Hmmm -- none of my four have ever gotten diarrhea from bully sticks -- they love them. I have gotten them from eddieb on ebay and Kathryn -- neither batch has smelled bad. I wonder if some smell worse because they are not thoroughly dried? They don't have anything added, btw, just dried -- like jerky without the marinade. I would not be adverse to trying femur bones though. Where do you get them? Do I ask the butcher in the meat section of the grocery store? Are they marked femur bone -- I hate to sound dumb but not sure I would recognize it. |
Beef leg bones. Ask the butcher if you can't see them with the meats. They are round and have a marrow. Some are also cut to about 1 inch thick, which is what I like. Some butchers will cut these, but now days you will find that most butchers are not even allowed to cut meats. They come in pre- packaged. Maybe an independant butcher shop would still cut meat and bones. |
My herd of yorkies are huge bully fans. We have tried several different types. I have settled with the ebay seller -- eddieb260. His bully's do not stink. I buy in bulk otherwise I would buy from Kathryn_V at BeyondSpoiled.com. Her bullysticks do not stink, either. I have found that the Red Barn Bully's and a couple of other brands do smell worse than King Kong's toe jam AND they are greasy. I give my dogs shank bones which I believe are the same as a femor bone, -- I have our butcher but the shanks about 3/4" thick, use the meat to make a soup -- clean the bones and give them to the dogs. LOL -- if they get nasty looking you can wash them. I have never ever even had a tooth mark scratched into one. They are tough and hard and safe. |

weve never tried bully sticks, once i found out what it is , i get nausea just thinking about it.. aye dios..lol |
MAGGOTS??????????????? How can this be? Wouldn't that mean the eggs were already there? Or, did something come and lay them once the bullies were wet? Or, were they never wet/never used? |
Weellll..I just found out today what bully sticks are. Had never heard of them until I got on YT. Of course they stink...Cindy just told me what they are:eek: |
I must be the only nerd that doesnt know what a bully stick is or have never seen one that I know of in the store. If they stink like King Kongs toe jam, I guess I am not missing much though. |

I buy from him. They do have an odor but I don't mind it - I guess I've gotten used to it. It's not a really strong odor in my nose. :D |

The Bully Stix doesnt bother Sam. He loves them! He likes the spring ones from Petsmart by Red Barn. I havent noticed those smelling as bad as the others I have bought. |
I've tried a few different ones and they've all been BEYOND SMELLY. Most smell like a pig farm that hasn't been cleaned out for months! And then the disgusting white goo that comes off of them... :tongue036 Then again, Trixie LOOOOOOVES them, so I'll give them to her once in a while. I rather give her the minty bones though :D |
Student nurse here...I completely understand when you say you've smelled some pretty horrible things. I could write a book and I'm only in my second year of university :rolleyes: Disclaimer: The following is flat-out nasty. ;) One of my teachers said that she finds they smell like poo from a person infected with c-dif. SO GROSS, I know, but it's kinda true. Rotting flesh-ish. |
