Best Bully Stick Brands

[Melissa Bissell]

Hello- I am looking for a good odor free bully stick.  Any recommendations?  I have been buying Barkworthies odor free 12 inch, but they often have an odor.  Thanks!

In my experience those are the most odor free of them all. We don't give them to the boys often but that's the only brand I trust. It's the only one Mel hasn't gotten sick from. It's the only one Tenley has ever had and he has never gotten sick from them. I wish I didn't have to take out a second mortgage to buy them, they are pricey!

I did get one once that smelled a lot, so I checked the tag and it was an odor one. I think someone mixed them up at the store. So I always check to make sure before I buy them now!

I used the "No Stink" ones from "I and Love and You" for a long time (the first year). They were great and lasted a very long time (sometimes weeks)....until I adopted a power chewer at Kona's 10 month mark.  Wow!  She was amazing and went through them in 20 minutes or less.  So I must admit that I just couldn't afford them any more and switched to the stinky ones in bulk for 99 cents a piece online (petflow).   But the I and Love and You brand is great and MUCH less stinky if you can afford them. I refer to them as the "Starbucks factor" of having a dog.  Sometimes you just buy an unnecessarily expensive treat because you can and want to spoil your pup.  I personally never buy myself Starbucks, or pop, or anything but tap water when out, but my puppies get toys and bully sticks all the time.  :-)

I and Love and You No Stink Free Ranger Bully Stix (copied and pasted from their site)

I and Love and You No Stink Free Ranger Stix are inspected and approved by USDA/FDA and national food inspection authorities. They come from free-range Brazilian cattle that are grass-fed without growth hormones or any other unnatural additives commonly used with feed lot cattle. These wholesome dog chews are the pinnacle of quality and produced in an approved USDA facility. Dogs love our bully sticks because they are great, long-lasting chews, and owners love them because they don't have that not-so-pleasant smell that most bully sticks do!

Did you know that our bully sticks and other natural dog chews are much healthier than rawhide chews?

• Free Ranger Stix are from free-range cattle never treated with antibiotics or growth hormones.
• Free Ranger Stix contain beneficial nutrients such as naturally occurring glucosamine.
• Free Ranger Stix are great for dental health by helping to reduce plaque and tartar build up.

Second the nomination of I and Love and You. On a very occasional basis, Charlie gets one of these (like twice a year.) They don't stink, but I also do not like them on my furniture, in my bed, and in between my sofa cushions.. He has to have them on his washable bed in the laundry room, or outside!

Julie...I just gave up and gave my house to the dogs.  I bought a Mamba waterproof cover for the couch and then wash it every now and then.  

[Julie and Charlie]

Oh, he's allowed on the furniture, just not while eating :)

I did give up and let them on the couch with their bully stick.  If you click on my profile photo, that is of them on my couch very sweetly sharing a bully stick cheek to cheek.  It's the sweetest darned thing to watch and they have done it since the very first day that Maggie (the white one) joined us exactly one year ago this week.  Instant BFF's.  That's why I just gave up and let them have my couch.  They don't do it on any other piece of furniture.

My dogs love bully sticks and I get the large packages at Costco.  I think there are twelve bully sticks in a package.  They are 12 ' long, and it takes my dogs about three chew sessions of 20 minutes each to consume a bully stick.  Odor?  Oh yes, but I have them chew them outside on their beds and bring them back to me when the timer on the range goes off.  Then I put them in zip lock bags until the next day.  Works for us.  And these bully sticks are from Brazil and Argentina.

Kona's Chips has great products including odor free bully sticks.  I buy online directly from the company.
