OMD it stinks!!!!

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

I was at Petsmart the other day and found some Braided Bully Sticks that are all natural.  I checked the package and they only contain bull pillet (maybe) can't remember. They weren't cheap...1 package was 20.00.  The package contained 2 12" braided bully sticks...Bailey loved them but OMD...they stink to high heaven.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for "non-stinkie" bully sticks?

My doodles love bully sticks but I only let them eat them OUTSIDE !!!  Yeah they stink.... some stink more than others.  When I buy them and do not give them right away I put them in the freezer in a zip lock bag, that seems to cut down on the smell and keep them fresh.  The antlers don't stink at all and Ollie love the antlers :)  Sasha not so much.  You may want to try the hooves as well my two love them and they don't stink.  The fresh bones are awesome, you can get them from the supermarket, if they don't have them out you can ask the butcher and they only cost a couple of bucks.  Sasha loves them and Ollie not so much - go figure !!!

Meggie LOVES her bully sticks but boy do they stink, didn't know they had ones that didn't smell!  Will have to check that out for sure.  The other night we woke up to Meggie at 3 am crunching on her bully stick, I had to get up and put it away and remind her it was BED TIME, ha, ha!

We don't use bully sticks or chewy treats anymore. We got/invested in an antler! It is the best chew treat that you can buy. There is no smell, they don't get slimy and the dogs love them. They are great for teething right through to regular chew toys. All the dogs that come to our house love them. They sneak or steal them from one another. They are expensive, but the amount of money I spent on chew toys and treats I may as well flushed down the toilet as he was able to destroy everyone! So this saved us a ton of money and has lasted over a year and there is still half of it left. They are natural as they are collected after they are shed. My brother in law found a huge rack in the woods that he is bringing for us. My sons great dane will be getting her own antler for Christmas as well we will likely give a piece to our other doggie friends from Neely :)

Lorraine..unfortunately Bailey is not fond of her antlers. We have hard wood floors and it makes a big racket when she drops it.  I think the noise bothers the little princess LOL...

 

So glad your pups will be getting a rack of their own.  I am supprised that it was left in the woods like that... By the way, love your profile pic.  My DH is a Bruins fan...but suprised you live in Canada and wearing Bruins gear...isn't that some kind of "hockey ediquette no-no" LOL

Hell NO! Being a Leaf fan is laughable! Their are more Maple leaf jokes than Newfie jokes up here! There are likely more Bruins fans in Canada than in the US, or maybe we just know all of them? LOL!

The antlers drop off on their own each year. You can see the tips have had some wear on the pointy ends where he was either fighting with another male or scratching to mark his territory or itching to help remove them.
