great treat! not too smelly
931072
For a picky boxer that doesn't like or eat many treats, she is addicted to these!  They aren't very chalky or too smelly and she enjoys the hard but soft enough texture for her big mouth/small teeth combo :)  These treats also don't leave any residue on the carpet which is very nice.

True to the name, my dog absolutely loves these treats and will do anything for one! They have a strong but not too off-putting smell, aren't messy in your hand, and come in a huge bag.

PROS:
+Not messy
+Irresistable to dogs
+Value pack

CONS:
-Not low calorie
-May give some dogs the runs (happened to mine)

All in all, a good value and recommended for an occasional, high-reward treat. I like rubbing it into my dog's chew toys as well!

My pup loves these treats. They have a strong smell, however I've used treats with a stronger more foul smell than these ones. After a while you get used to it. His poop smelled a bit the first time I introduced these treats, but afterwards everything returned back to normal. I think these are great treats and due to their softness you can cut them into 2 or 3 smaller pieces if you'd like.

My dogs loved them. However the smell turned my stomach. I could only give one to them when they were in their crate. Overall a great treat for my dogs, however, not great for my stomach!

My 40 lb hound/pit mix loves these its definitely one of her most favorite treats.

Word to the wise don't give these to your dog indoors as they do increase in odor when dogs chew on them and from what I'm told by my friends and family smell somewhat like rotting fish that a hobo then relieved himself on.

And definitely steer clear of dog kisses for at least a couple hours or several drinks of water.

Our dog attacked me the moment I opened the box. I guess it is the smell (or should I say aroma?) - nothing beats freshly baked chicken! It's a great difference from those stale strips that we get in airtight sealed packages (when were they made? how long were they stored in some warehouse before they were put on shelf or sold to us?)  I actually tasted a bit myself, and it was quite tasty (would taste better with some salt). The treats are crunchy (unlike regular jerky) and that seems to drive dogs crazy with delight. You can break them into pieces, perfect for training lessons and rewards during walkies. We also love the fact that they don't use oils or any preservatives (a lot of manufacturers now use glycerin). And the fact that they use New York state farms ingredients and home baked in Manhattan is worth mentioning too.

In summary,
Pros: crunchy, wonderful smell, freshly baked to order and dogs love them!
Cons: a bit pricey, but I guess it's fair - homemade vs. machine/factory made. Still, more affordable than other homemade treats on Et-sy. Our doggy is small, so the bag (about 15 pieces) lasts about 2 weeks.

I recently ordered these bones for my dog. I ordered the Calming ones, which have a combination of lavender and chamomile. My dog is a rescue mix, so I'm not sure what breed she is exactly, but it's probably hound/lab/shepherd. She really loved these! She can be picky and sometimes likes the first few treats from a package but loses interest quickly. She went through the whole bag of these and seemed to like the last ones just as much as the first ones. The scent is pleasant. Sometimes I stop buying certain treats because the smell is overwhelming, but I liked the way these smelled. The bones were a nice size for treats - not too big, but not so small that she could gobble them up. It probably took her about 3-5 minutes to finish each bone, and she is a pretty big dog (about 55 pounds). I do not think they calmed her down at all though! She is a pretty anxious dog, so I was not expecting them to put her to sleep or anything, but I did not notice any difference in her mood or excitement levels after eating the treats. It isn't a problem for me though - the size and pleasant smell of the treats were still worth paying for. The price was good when I ordered them (under five dollars), but I probably would not order them for more than that. I used them as an add-on item to get free same day prime shipping on some dog food that I had in the same order.

Treats are dry and non-greasy, which is a delight. There's also a slight hint of smoke smell and texture is not too hard. Overall a great product but my dogs don't love it.

Great treat that I trust to give to my girls! I don't think it calms them too much, but they sure do like them!

Our 3-year-old Lab mix really enjoys these treats! As another reviewer said, we aren't positive that they actually mellow him out, but they are wonderful nonetheless.

Mellow Mutt strips smell good, don't make a mess, are healthy (even for dogs on a limited ingredient diet), and our dog gets excited about them. They can also be folded and jammed inside the original red Kong toy if one desires.

IMPORTANT UPDATE October 2012:
These are made in China, which may concern some customers. Now that the Food & Drug Administration recently posted an article with their own concerns about Chinese-made chicken jerky treats, we have decided to switch to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sittin-Pretty-Dog-Treat-Fish-Jerky-26-4-Ounce/dp/B003THLJ1U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sittin Pretty Dog Treat, Fish Jerky, 26.4-Ounce</a>.

My puppy loves these and I love that they are grain free! I don't think the odor is bad but dog food and treats don't always the most pleasant smell but other than that no issues with the greenies.

This was a great deal, so I thought I would try it out.  My cat loved the treats, and while fish-flavored, they didn't have a strong, unappealing scent.  It was a nice soft chew that he enjoyed, and they didn't dry up or get hard too quickly.  I would definitely buy again.

These aren't completely odor free. In saying that they do have less odor than the bully sticks you buy at the store.
I couldn't tell a difference in these from the bully sticks you buy individually for $10 and neither could my dog.
I would say that these are 100% all 'muscle' as advertised.

My 7lb (1.5 year old) maltese loves them and they take her about two-three days to chew up.
They only leave a little residue, not noticeable on carpet, rugs etc just on the blanket that she likes to lay on that is a very dark brown.... but it only looked as if she had been licking her paws there.

she really prefers these to other treats! great entertainment for her as well! I don't let her chew on these unsupervised once she has chewed it down to just a stub because she is known for trying to swallow things whole....

Smell good. No preservatives. My dog & his friends love them.

I like this treat for many reasons. The first being that the mint flavor gives my roommate's beagle better breath, which is good for everyone. I like the standup design, so the dogs can hold on to it while they chew. I like that it's available for Subscribe and Save, which means the pups get a nice treat once a month, even if I forget to buy them something at the store. It seems to be very easily digested, as we don't have the same flatulence problem with these that we have with other treats, like pig ears and some rawhides.

The one thing I don't like is that it is meant for multiple chews. The calories are very high and they recommend you not let your dog eat it all at once. I understand that, but trying to take the slobbery treat away from our dogs is not the easiest task. The sweet, soft, cuddle, adorable babies would rather take your hand off than give up their yummy treat. So this is why they one get it once a month. I call it their cheat day, well, more like hour. The ginormous is a good size for any dog larger than a beagle, especially if they are chewers or tuggers, but they will likely sit and eat the whole thing. And then promptly fall asleep like we do after too much turkey on Thanksgiving.

 Giving them smaller ones is silly, because they devour these so quickly that it would take a chew or two and they'd be through something smaller. So they get a binge treat. If the Quado was fewer calories, I'd give them more often, because there's no way to take it from them once they get started.

And anyway, I like my hands. They let me type and other useful things. So, the Quado gets 4 stars although both I and the doggies love them.

I like these treats because they are medium soft, so you can break them up easily for smaller bites or for treating during training.  They don't get messy or greasy in your pocket.  AND she loves them!

My dogs love these! The small pieces make for a nice guilt free treat without worrying about loading them up with lots of empty calories and other useless things.
