Hi fellow cat lovers. I would like to buy these to have on-hand, however I am wondering if they have expiration dates? Thank you for your help.

Hi,I don't have any of the packaging left, so I don't remember. The collar is sealed in a wrapper. When you put the collar on, it is good for about one month. I seem to need them in the winter months, my cats get a little crazy in the house and don't like to go out in the cold. I have four cats and they like to start picking on each other, but the collars seem to calm them down. My vet told me about them, she uses them on her cats. Hope that helps.

I change our Cats collar every 30 days and we never have any issues with her anymore. The collars really work and if you combine them with the pheromone plugins from Feliway, if you have a problem cat, your problems are solved. Major personality change on our Tortoise shell female older cat.

I buy them in advance. They are sealed in a bag, so they will last a long time. If you use them only at certain times, store in a baggie.I just change mine every 30 day after constant wearing.

I believe they do have an expiration date but it would probably be dated out a year or two.Jessica CulbertsonPet Solutions

The 6 pack I just bought has an expiration date of 7/17 ! That's plenty of time to use them!! They are the best, no scratching on furniture since I started using them., I put one in every room the cats go in!!!

Sorry, I give them to my local animal shelter. I'm sure they don't last long enough to expire!

I just checked the pack I bought recently. There is a code that is printed on the package that is not part of the label. 1215 is a separate number. I presume that is Dec 2015. I just received this order. If that is the expiration date then there is plenty of time to use the product prior to expiration. That is as accurate as I can be. Incidentally, our Cats respiratory health has improved using this product. We have 5 cats and the only one that "Love's" them is the Cat that needs them. The others will not touch them. You know Cats!

I'm not sure, but I did see, on the bottom of the page listing ingredients, etc., an 8 digit number followed by 1115 (could be Nov 2015?). Otherwise, nothing explicitly saying "exp" or "use by" dates. My kitty loves these things, they'll never last that long!

Hi. I ordered them this early year and they had an 8 year expiration date from 2013. Now I can't tell you if other companies who sell this same brand have the same. When you see the one you want, email them what expiration date you will recieve. They looked fresh and I only opened one and looked at it but of course did not use it. So they looked smelled fresh. Hope this helps

For some reason, all the sellers want to avoid making promises about expiration dates, ... but the "200" pack that I bought, had over a year left on them.And frankly, ... I've used some that were 2 or 3 years "out of date", ... that still worked just fine, ... so I don't worry too much about dates, anymore.

The REAL Frontline made in France for the USA has NO expiration date! Also the packages with the GREY cat on box is at least 3 years old. The newest packages have the orange cat on them.

I honestly don't know how to find an expiration date. I have given Pet-Tabs for years, with several dogs, and I have always felt comfortable with them. My (rescue) dogs are healthy, or if not we know their exact medical problems and medicate for those, but as far as a vitamin I am very happy with Pet Tabs. I have a Yellow Lab (rescue) now who won't take them by hand as every other dog has done, but she will eat them in her food dish with her meal, so who cares? Andrea SpinkSunnyvale, CA

I'm honestly not sure if there is an expiration date on them or not. The packages are not as big as a pack of normal marshmallows from the stores, though. They are 2.7 oz packages, where as the average package of jet puffed brand looks like it's between 10-16oz. I had a couple of extra packages left over after making my project(sugar free moon pies for my dad) and I gave the extras to my mom for them to have as a treat.. I'm not sure if the bags got punctured or not, but she says within about a month, they got rock hard. I had them for a few weeks prior to use & they were as soft as can be, so I don't know... One thing, though... Once they get hard, i THINK you could still turn them into cream in the microwave. You just throw them into a microwave safe bowl & cook them for a brief time( watch them carefully because they may expand in the microwave quite a bit). Just stir them once they're warm & it's ready to use. It re-hardens quickly, but once it does, you just pop it back in the micro & stir it back up. You may be able to mix some butter in to keep it more creamy, but I haven't tried that yet. I have heard in reviews that you can use these marshmallows just like normal sugary versions from the store, so I'd like to try making s'mores & rice crispy treats with them next time I order some. I can not even tell you how surprised at how good they are. Anyways, this is turning into a novel, so I will end this. The short answer is that I'm not sure if there's an exp date, but it seems they do get hard within a couple of months(I was really surprised to hear this from my mom). I wonder if keeping them in an air tight container would extend the shelf life? You may want to contact the seller & see if they could tell you. I hope this was helpful in some way! Take care.

There is an expiration date, but has always been in the years, not months. I have several in use at the same time, so I go thru more than 1 per month. It is a great product and keeps my several cats less stressed.

I never had a problem with the expiration date as I always ordered them only a couple of weeks before our annual pirate party. They arrive very quickly after you order them, so I would wait just to be on the safe side. I wish I could tell you what the shelf life is, but I don't know. My local supermarket (County Market) carries the large bags in the "Health Food Section". Maybe your local grocery store carries them, and you can get a better idea of the shelf life.

It varies. I've had some last longer than a month, and others not as much. It depends a lot of whether your cat tries to pull them off, their activity level, and their nail's growth rate. (Make sure to trim them first!)

Your never going to know the date, until you buy them. All I can tell you is thus far.. Every box I've ordered have had an expire date of at least a year out from when I bought them. It's a coin toss...

My most recent bottle expires 1/2015 I use 3 a day so they go pretty quickly. The most important thing is they must be kept cold at all times. Be sure to get them from a company that mails overnight and gaurantees it stays cold, it will cost extra but they become useless if at room temp. My Vet now stocks it so that may be your best way to get it if your Vet stocks it. My Vet also price matches so check on that also...Good luck and Happy New Year....

I am a buyer not a seller but I will comment. Most sellers put the expiration date in the description and it is very helpful when they do. I recently took a chance and bought some on ebay because the price was good and the gamble worked. They out date a year from now. However , it is a big gamble. When rating sellers, all buyers should make a point of this.

We have 2 cats and I buy the 12# bag to save money. Our most recent bag was purchased 12/12/2013 and the "Best by" date is 11/4 2014. It has a nice "ziplock" resealable bag to help keep it fresh. I often put in our large upright freezer to keep it even fresher. The cats love it and look great!
