After this thread, i've been thinking about Zack's bully stick, the one he's had since the day i got him, i was thinking of how most of it is still there and it will probably last many more months, or a year, but it does have a gnawed on look, so i decided he should have a new one, so i got him a new long one today, brought it home, gave it to him, and PEEEEE EWEEEEUUU :yuk: it really stinks. when he came over to give me a kiss, it was like, blecchhh, poison dog lips. I had to sneak it away when he was eating his dinner. I tried offering him a lamb flavored nylabone, but all he wanted was that new bully stick, he loved it. but i don't think so. that's the first one i've gotten that has any odor.
i guess from what you all have said, it's luck of the draw....I got them at store that has them in bulk, in bins, no brand names. I smelled it before i got it because i don't want to get any of the smoked flavored ones, and it had no odor. It was just after he started chewing on it that its perfume was released.
I would like to get the beef sticks but they seem to just come in the smoked variety.
