My dog is pretty picky about what he'll chew and he loves these, in fact I've given them to friends dogs and have never met a dog who didn't love them.
They don't stain carpets or the fur on my dogs paws and mouth like some "beef basted" bones will.
Some of them smell bad but I just send my dogs outside with those, most of them don't have any odor.
These treats are what my dog loves after a nice walk and I want him to settle down. He finds a special place and chews on the bully stick for about 15-30 minutes. Because these are all-natural, he doesn't have any problems with digesting them and seems to like the smoky taste.
Braided bully sticks are excellent choices for our small dogs for their chewing and entertainment pleasure of the evening - we limit their chew time to 30 minutes just before their bed time to give them a reward for their last outside trek for the evening; additionally, they take great pride in carrying their stick to their bed - kind of a "cigar and brandy" for the day's closure. We have had no choking incidents or constipation issues from the bones; we store the bones in a labeled zip lock bag in a wine cooler between chew times to prevent any bacteria growth. Bully sticks are stinky to humans - again, just like the nonsmoker of a cigar in the presence of the smoker.
Both my pups love these. And they work for my aggressive chewer as well as my more mild chewer.
I give my bullmastiff these after her bath..for reward for anyday good deeds. She loves the taste. Only request is that she takes them outside. A bit smelly that makes them all the better for her. problem is they dont last long enough for her. Will always try to have some on hand.
My corgi's love these!
Our dog loves the bully sticks. I was first introduced to them at doggy daycare. They do have an oder but our dog loves them and she is spoiled!
These are the only chew type treat that Rex really likes. Some of them have a bad smell but most of them don't. They don't last Rex a really long time, 5 inch ones last about 20 mins., but that's longer than anything else lasts. I think Red Barn is a trustworthy company, I used their dog food for a long time.
This has to be my dog's all time favorite chew! He use to be a fan of the regular bully sticks (not braided)- and then one day, he decided he didn't like those anymore; now he only likes the braided bullies. He loves them, I don't worry about him choking on them, swallowing them whole or hurting him, plus they help his gums/teeth. The braided bully sticks don't last near as long as the regular ones, so for those serious chewers get the regular- while the braided are probably better for smaller, older dogs or those who are just lazy, like mine.
My puppies love these chews. They are constantly chewing on them. They didn't chew any furniture like some puppies do. I have two brothers and they take turns on chewing the same one,even though they both have their own. funny little guys.
My dog LOVES these bully sticks. He turns his nose up at any other brand!
Bought a box of 10 and my puppy as well as my older dogs just absolutely love these. I am going to continue to purchase them.

Strong odor,very expensive to use regularly with two big dogs but good at cleaning teeth and I don't have to be concerned about it being something bad for them.
Unlike rawhide, I don't worry about small pieces getting caught in my dog's throat. I have greyhounds and they can be picky - these will keep them busy all night. Also helps clean their teeth! I definately keep a supply of these in the house!
Rocky has been eating this product for sometime (purchased originally from a pet store). Found your product online (priced much more reasonably!!), and have been purchasing ever since. This is Rocky's treat after dinner at night. It looks like a cigar in his mouth!!! Very funny!! It definitely meets Rocky's expectations!!
Only downfall is the strong odor, combination of feedlot and smokehouse! No wonder the puppy loved it!
The braided ones are best!
this is the only chew stick my dog will chew. He turns his nose up at everything else. He never gets sick on it.
