What is that smell?? - Page 3 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

I had never gotten Boo & Hannah Bully Sticks because I read about how bad they smell & what they are. But I broke down & got them one each for Xmas. I held my breath & said "Merry Xmas" & gave them their bully sticks. Of course they loved them. Now all I have to say is Merry Xmas & Boo starts running & hunting for a bully stick.Hannah follows with her little happy dance. It's hilarious. They're now addicted & I've spent a small fortune on Bully sticks & I seem to always be washing little hairy faces.

I never thought when I opened the thread this morning that I would get more than I bargained for! Heini's mom is right, this turned in to a fun little EDUCATIONAL thread. I still can not believe what they are............I never thought about researching them simply because I had read on here sooooo many times how their fluff loved them, and even if I had known what they were, since they came so highly recommended by so many knowledgeable people, I would have still ordered them!!! It is just a bit embarrassing (like Heini's mom said) when you KNOW what they are.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BOO AND HANNAH!!!

Are you sure?

I Know Bully sticks are the Bull's "special part" but I thought Flossies were Tendons? That's what is says on the Merrick web site
" As the top selling treat at Merrick, the Flossie™ is made from a beef tendon"

This has been discussed various times.

Joy even had a diagram but deleted it.

Bailey LOVES bully sticks but I do hate the smell. She holds it between her feet and so her feet end up smelling as well as her face

So I only give them to her on bath day!

"While processing, the bull's penis that is usually measures around 23-25 inches in length, is removed and cleaned. Manufactures of bully sticks hang the pizzles vertically to allow containing fluids to fully run out. Without these fluids the bully stick is odorless. At the next stage of processing bully sticks are stretched, twisted and then dried or/and smoked. The outcome is a 30-40 inches long hard brown stick which is then cut into pieces appropriate for dogs of all sizes."

Hmmm, dried penis - Yum!

This certainly is a testament to the fact NOTHING is wasted at the processing facility. In other venues this would be considered ecologically sound - it's recycling at it's best!

I wasn't able to find Merrick brand at a store near where we are so I bought the bully stick from Wal-Mart's own brand. It's made with 100% Canadian cow pizzle. I was concerned that it was going to stink having read about it on SM but surprisingly it doesn't stink at all. I'd buy it again.

Whoa Whoa Whoa.......So Flossies are penises???!? I thought this issue was asked a while back and someone confirmed Flossies are beef tendons, not penis?!

I am so grossed out right now.

**cleooscar** · 04-03-2009, 04:58 PM

I think Bully Sticks are penises and Flossies are tendons.
