Natural FarmPeanut Butter Flavor Collagen Sticks for Dogs (6 Inch, 5 Pack), Long-Lasting Beef Collagen Chews, Best Rawhide Alternative Chews With Chondroitin & Glucosamine, High-Protein Dental Treats

After reviewing all the HORROR photos of bits and pieces, "sweepings", hanger wires, strings, etc in these various companies' 1-2 lb "value" bags of BULLY STICK PIECES, I went with "NATURAL FARM" "2-3 inch small bully sticks 1LB Value Pack". At first I thought I was getting "overcharged" for only ONE pound while other companies offered TWO pounds for a comparable price. AND the word "SMALL" concerned me that these would be SMALL bully sticks - you know - PENCILS - probably hollow pencils at that - NOT SO! I went with them because they have their own production facilities, state they oversee every step of production and I was SO pleased with their 3 inch trachea pieces - beyond compare. SO - I hit "buy now" for Natural Farm's version.WOW - was I beyond pleased.FIRST - SIZE. I laid out all the pieces. They are not little nubs, tips or scraps. In fact, only 9 fell into the 2" size range. 27 measured in the 2-3 inch range (leaning closer to three inches) and 18 in the 3-4 inch range.SECOND - SHAPE. Photos of other brands (even Best Bully) showed pointy "ends" and "ringed" segments and segements with apparently the hanging wires used in drying. In other words - SCRAPS that should be ground up to make bully chips or coat "kabobs"! NOT THESE! These all look like PREMIUM, PREMIUM, PREMIUM bully sticks after being sawed to "size" and these are the extra inches. NOT THE FLOOR SWEEPINGS that couldn't be sold as PREMIUM bully sticks. The ends of each stick show the evidence of slight "shredding" from being sawed AFTER DRYING - in otherwords - to "cut to size" - not floor sweepings. WOW is all I can say. So I'll say it again: WOW! ! !THIRD - HOLLOW vs SOLID - NONE of these sticks are hollow. They are all "FULL" - if you purchase bully sticks you will know what that means. SOLID sticks! And none of the sticks are "wrinkled" like a dehydrated "gullet stick". These are HARD, SOLID, "PLUMP", EXACTLY what you hope for.FOURTH - DIAMETER. Are these pencil bullies? NO WAY! 1 was what I would call a pencil bully stick (but not hollow) - in the 3-4 inch pile. The rest were the PREMIUM bully sticks you pay EXHORBITANT prices for. In addition, 7 of the 2-3 inchers were those extra wide, "JUMBO WIDTH" and "JUMBO THICKNESS" bullies and 2 of the 3-4 inchers fell into that category. 4 of the 2 inchers were the jumbos.FIFTH - QUALITY - These are all UNIFORM in quality and range from light tan to darker brown in color. None are "shrivelled" or hollow. None smell. All are HARD, SOLID, the most premium and beyond quality standards I have ever seen. Again, the only way I can describe these is PREMIUM and some JUMBO bully sticks cut to size and these are the extra inches left over.SIXTH - "FLAVOR" - let's face it - no matter how much I think I got a good deal by "looks", if my dog doesn't like them, they were a waste of money. THEY MUST SMELL AND TASTE GREAT because my dog goes CRAZY when I handle the bag and drops whatever chew he is working on to work on one of these until his jaw muscles are exhausted. The "SMELL" I am referring to is not a human detectable odor, but one that only dogs detect. To me, they are ODORLESS and CLEAN. They are not odorless to my dog. GREAT!BOTTOM LINE - These are NOT SNACKS (like a gullet stick) and NOT SCRAPS. These are over the top quality HARD, SOLID, PREMIUM bully sticks. In my opinion and according to appearances, they are the pieces left ater PREMIUM and JUMBO bully sticks were cut to a precise length (6 or 12 inches) and which couldn't be sold due to length. These are NOT SCRAPS!!! If you have a dog that length will not matter to, these are the VALUE PACK they are represented to be. I have a MinPin service dog. A 6 inch bully stick is about a week's worth of chewing (along with alternating between other chews like Lambzearz (2-4 day chew) and Natural Farm Beef Trachea 3" pieces (2 day chew). It's not that my dog couldn't eat the chews faster, it's that they are SO HARD they take that long to chew and rest and return. THAT is value. Even if your dog is "big" and you are considering a "value pack" of "small pieces" - THIS IS THE PACK!!!! AWESOME.PROS - I received clean, long-lasting shorter PREMIUM and JUMBO bullies to take with me or use at home - these are PERFECT size even great for the car crate. AND - most important - my dog LOVES THEM.CONS - NONE!!!! I will definitely buy this value pack again when I run out. I am happy with these and the 3" trachea from NATURAL FARM as well. The only CON is - CHEWY.com doesn't carry any NATURAL FARM products.I hope this review was helpful.AND I HOPE NATURAL FARM MAKES SURE THIS REVIEW REMAINS ACCURATE.Keep up the great products!!!! We and our dogs apprecieate them.

*** UPDATED *** I know my dog is picky, but he usually will chew the bully sticks. He did not like these at all however, and I was feeling cranky because I had spent so much money on them and there was no option for a refund. Surprise! I was contacted by the seller and offered a full refund! I have changed my review from one star to 4 stars. My dog didn't like the bully sticks, but I love their customer service. Natural Farm Odor Free Bully Sticks must have SOME kind of odor. My dog sniffed the bully stick and shook his head, sniffed and shook his head, then walked away. I left the bully stick out for him in case he changed his mind but he won't go near it. Quite the waste of money.

We do not leave home without our “bully”! It’s a girls best friend. We recently upgraded her to the bigger sticks than the one that you see in this picture because she’s gotten a little bigger and was ready for the next size. But doesn’t matter the size, ALL the sticks are great. I have NEVER had one smell and it keeps her happy and occupied when needed. I’ve never had them fall apart on the floor either. They are honestly great. You get what you pay for. And they are worth every penny in my opinion. I’ll never buy any other brand. Unfortunately they do not sell the bully stick holder, so you’ll have to snag that somewhere else but get your sticks here, you won’t regret it! Baby Tuni loves hers.

There is minimal odor and the 4" size is perfect for my 16lb small dog. I waited for these to come back in stock recently after purchasing by first bag a few months ago. The first bag was great in terms of size consistency. Each bully stick wasn't too thin or too thick. The second bag, the sizes were a little off. I got way more thicker sticks this time around. Still gets the job done, so I guess I can't complain. But maybe they should implement better quality control going forward.

Read description closely! I thought I was just changing the quantity of what I had purchased previously. Didn't realize they were completely different options. This thing has pieces of meat on it, not a coating. I gave 5 stars because, although it was entirely my fault, they gave me a refund on this nonrefundable item.

I have two Great Pyrenees mixes. I broke the bully stick in half and gave them each a piece. It was quiet in my home for over 90 min! I swear it’s like having toddlers around here…one is two years old and the other 7 months….good quality, odorless, fur mami can get some things done around the house…..PRICELESS!!!

I gave these 4 stars only because they don't last very long and are a bit pricey. I have a standard poodle who weighs 42 lbs and she gets through these in about 25 minutes. She loves them so I guess I will continue to order and give them to her on occasion as a special treat. If they were less expensive I would probably buy them more often. The smell is no where near as bad as a regular bully stick but they still stink a bit.

Our dog loves bully sticks, but the smell they have is so terrible that we avoid buying them. We bought him different kinds of chewable treats, but we can tell he doesn't enjoy them as much as a good bully stick, because he wouldn't to them right away, or he would get bored of it after a few minutes. Although these seem pricey, I'm so glad I got them! He immediately began gnawing on it happily, and I'm so glad they are truly a odor free! Will buy again!

my dog love it always, will keep buying for my dog

Dog loves it very much!
