That's where we get ours for Teddy too, great quality and wonderful price, it's 1.00 to 2.00 cheaper per stick. He loves them! We got him an antlerz from there too, he likes that as well. I think that thing is going to last forever.

I went onto their site and found 10lbs, 10" bully sticks, for $1.39. I assume that is $1.39 a lb? What am I missing here? That doesn't seem to be a lot of $$.

I believe that is $1.39 each. I order from the same site, and my dog seems to digest their bully sticks quite well. I've switched to the braided 12" sticks (@ $3.98 I think?).

Other bully sticks have given my dog the runs, but not these.

So, it seems I'd be paying about $13.90 for the 10 lbs? How many do you think are in 10 lbs?
Thanks

I just checked the site. I think the 10bs that you see actually stands for 10" bully sticks. Not 10 lbs.

So, if you wanted to purchase just one of the 10" bully sticks, it would cost you $1.39. You can buy as many as you want. (5 bully sticks would cost $6.95)

If you're not sure if your dog will like them, you can buy just a few. (that's what I did initially).
However, the shipping is not cheap, so it's better to buy more.

My Maggie loves bully sticks. I get the braids and the straight. Rawhides are asking for trouble. They do stink, but I think it has to do with them being smoked. You can get them unsmoked but I have not tried them yet. She loves to chew and these are a lifesaver.

My dogs are chewers, and I heard about bully sticks, so I looked them up using the search engine, and I'm glad I found this post. I just ordered my dogs bully sticks, antlers, and trachea from the website you recommended. I'm so glad I looked this up without just going out and buying them! We don't need smelly bullys

. And we're going to try the antlers and the trachea, although I literally choke when I think of them chewing on the trachea. But if it gives them something to chew other than random stuff they manage to find, I will be sooo happy! I swear, my house has never been cleaner than since we got the boys. We have to keep everything cleaned up or they get into it and destroy it. Thanks everyone!

I just got a pack of a dozen 12" bully sticks at Costco for $19.99 - they are the really good kind that last forever, plus they're huge. Great buy for anyone looking for some! (makes them 1.58 each, but for 12" ones that last this long, good deal)

BoxerBug · 08-22-2008, 10:27 PM

I had to laugh about the clean house! My dog is like a toddler. We have to have everything put away or she gets to it.
Have not tried the antlers yet, but will probably soon.

Also, wanted to mention that only the smelly bully sticks did not make my dog sick with the runs.

So, we put up with the smell.
I don't know how they are all preserved, so it probably has something to do with that.

Oh, I looked closer and realized it said 10bs, not 10 lbs. duh. But the shipping is ridiculous!! I did buy Dallas a bully stick at our pet store, the brand was Red Barn. Anybody hear of them?

10 " means 10 inches. 10 inches long. You get one that is 10 inches long for 1.30 or whatever. Not 10 bully sticks but one that is 10" long.

I had some Red Barn, I think they did not last long. These costco ones are great, I forget the brand they have though.

lmwsport7 · 08-26-2008, 11:51 AM

I agree on the Red Barn bully sticks - it was the only brand my pet store had so I picked up 2. My 4-month golden puppy made pretty short work of the 9" braided stick. I bought them last Wed. letting her chew on it for about a half hour on Wed and Sun nights, finally finishing it last night. Didn't seem to slow down the 8lb mini dachshundI gave the other one to. Guess I need to find a longer lasting brand and a better price (I paid $8 for 1!).
