I bought it to put in our cat water dish. They don't drink the water w it in it. I would suggest Proden PlaqueOff on Amazon, you sprinkle it in their food once a day. we had newly adopted cat that had a serious plaque problem and used it w him, in about 4 weeks he no longer had bad breath and seems much happier! Others i know said it worked for their dogs. good luck!

As far as I could tell it is tasteless. Both the dog and cat drink the water as if it did not have the have the additive.

My dog has no issues with it. Its such a small amount in the water , I don't think she tastes it at all. My friend recommended it to me & she has two dogs who also have no issues with it. When I smell product in the bottle, it really doesnt have a strong odor. Hope this helps.

There is an extremely mild mint taste that a cat or dog may not like the first hour or so, but they get over it really quickly. It tastes better than toilet water. The important thing is that IT WORKS.

It has a very strong fake bacon smell. I didn't think a cat would like it. My cat loves it!! He takes two pills a day. I am able to give him his pill with his food. I put it on top of his food, in his bowl, and the pill is now the first thing he eats. I guess the strong smell masks the bitterness of the pill.

Ours does not smell bad at all. Both our dog and cat love it and drink out of it constantly, often at the same time.

As it so happens, I did taste it one time. It is sweet, but doesn't have a real flavor. One of my puppies just loves it, the other is so so about it.

No. He doesn't mind the taste of it and they make it safe for the dogs to swallow since they plan on dogs swallowing it.

LOL well I have not tasted it myself, but my dog does not seem to object to its flavor.

cats don't have sweet taste buds so i doubt the palatable base would have a sweetener

It has a light fishy smell but not a bad one.... And with it being mixed in the dog food I didn't notice a smell on his breath

Probably not. My older dog sniffed it and backed away, but the puppy had to actually taste it before he would leave things alone.

It smells more like beef jerky. My cat was really falling for it for a week but now is wise to it. Annoying but thats my cat. He definitely liked it more than pill pockets. If the pill isn't too big, try wrapping it in cream cheese or crush it and get a feeding syringe and force it in through the back if his mouth. It's tough.. Dogs just suck everything down, cats are picky!

I don't believe so. I did not like it as the smell was strong even with one cat. Just my opinion.

I'm not sure if it has a flavor; this is a toy for your dog to chew not for people. It does not have a smell.

My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food. Since I have several cats, I put this food in a separate area for him so he will get it. He seems to like the taste okay, or doesn't notice a difference. I doubt that this would work on dry food. This same company markets a Lysine cat treat that has very tiny round pebbles. All my cats absolutely love those, and I would recommend them over putting powder on dry food. There is also a product from this company of Lysine cat treats that are larger ... sort of shaped like a fish, and they do not like those. They love the ones that have very tiny round pebbles of Lysine treats. They are a little chewy. My cat eats this mixed in with a small amount of his wet cat food.

I can't attest to the taste, but it doesn't have an odor at all. My dog likes it.

The powder does have a distinctive odor (kind of fishy), but I only notice it when I sprinkle it on wet food. Of course a cat's sense of smell is better than mine. I think she will probably eat it since she won't really know it's there.

Hello J. Grant. It has a slight mint flavor to it - just slightly. Not an unpleasant taste at all. Hope this helps. As the person in the previous answer stated it was used for their dog due to renal failure. My purchase was for the same purpose. My dog was "my baby" and any meds he took orally, I always tasted them to see what they tasted like to know whether or not I was going to have to "force" my little critter to take his meds, or "make a game" out of it because it tasted ok.

Mine seem drier than typical treats as well, but my cat still devours them; so it could be just a crust that's formed on the outside of the treat. He goes crazy when he hears the bag every day, so the hardening definitely hasn't diminished the taste!
