Like any natural product, bully sticks can indeed go bad if not stored properly. The shelf life of bully sticks depends on several factors, such as the manufacturing process, packaging, and storage conditions. However, when stored correctly, bully sticks from Natural Farm can remain fresh and safe for consumption for an extended period.
Bully sticks are made from dehydrated bull pizzle, which means that much of the moisture has been removed to extend their durability. However, they still contain some residual moisture, which can lead to spoilage if exposed to inadequate conditions, such as excessive humidity or heat.
To ensure that bully sticks remain fresh, it’s important to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Many dog owners choose to store bully sticks in airtight containers to prevent exposure to air, which can accelerate the spoiling process. Natural Farm packages its products in a way that maximizes shelf life, using packaging methods that protect the bully sticks from moisture and contaminants.
Even so, it’s always a good practice to check bully sticks before offering them to your dog. If you notice any signs of mold, an unpleasant odor, or changes in texture, it’s best to discard the treat to ensure your dog’s safety.
In summary, bully sticks can go bad if not stored properly, but with proper care, such as storage in a cool, dry place, Natural Farm’s products can last a long time, ensuring your dog always has a safe and delicious treat.
