Does this salmon based dog food make you dogs have a "fishy" smell? We have tried a few others, and we can always smell that fish.

Nope! The food itself doesn't smell great, (no dog food does) and it might smell a little fishy, but my dogs don't smell bad at all! Since we switched to this dog food their gas doesn't smell bad like it used to either.

It def has a slight fishy smell, but a contributing factor could easily be from the pump of salmon oil that we add into her food. We limit her fishy smell by wiping her face with a baby wipe and brushing her teeth. They have a smaller bag of this food, so it might be good to try it!

Not really. Much more subtle than say nutrisource. Our pup has much better skin and coat now too.

My cats seem to like "Ocean" flavors better then chicken, but also I like that the salmon has the Omega 3 for a softer and shinier coat. This is my opinion, but I feel that it is legit.

I am not sure. I was told by the breeder that this was the food that she wanted my puppy to eat. She said that the bowel movement doesn't smell. My puppy loves it and so does my other dog. (Golden Doodle Schnoodle)

I notice a fishy aroma with this product. I don't know if this was added to make it more palatable, or if there are animal sourced ingredients.In which refrigeration would be necessary. I refrigerate mine anyway. I refrigerate my own supplements as well, since I believe refrigeration prolongs freshness. Especially since even the small container will last a couple of months.

Recently my one cat has been very finicky about this food, too. Sometimes it has a much thinner texture as well as the stronger smell, and she isn't a fan.I never had that issue with this food coming from the local pet store, but I've had it off and on with shipments from Amazon. Maybe it's being subjected to disparate temperatures in shipping?

My dogs love it and their coats are soft and beautiful. As for the taste and smell, there is a very faint fishy smell but upon tasting, I could not detect an fishy flavor.

Not at all! My mother uses this kind now, she used to use salmon oil for her dog and mentioned how less smelly it is. My dogs have always used this oil, I find it doesn't have an odor either.

I would check the expiration date. Also, I keep mine refrigerated. As others have said, it does have a smell to it, but the dogs love it on their food.

I usually get the salmon oil and have not recieved this yet (comes tomorrow- recycled my old bottle last trash day). I noted that some others responded to similar questions on the product site in Amazon. I think my dogs like the salmon oil better but I like to switch it up alittle. They love both.

I have honestly never tasted this food myself, however my dogs have been eating it for years and seem to like it fine. This IS great dog food though, and my dogs are incredibly healthy. If you want your dog to eat the food, I would "jazz it up" with some yogurt, coconut oil, or my pups personal favorite mushroom gravy.For the mushroom gravy, I mix MUSH (link below) with a little water and put it on their food; they go crazy for it.MUSH Medicinal Mushroom Blend 125 gram

Not really a fishy smell but you have to be right on top of it to smell it I have a keen sense of smell and don't recommend getting that close to it only put a few of these out of the time for they will take them and hidethem good luck!

I don't smell a foul odor. We all have odors that bother us so it is kind of hard for me to say whether it will effect you or not. My dog doesn't like some treats, however, she likes this one. It is supposed to have a chicken flavor so maybe your dog will like them. Only one per day. Not to be used as a treat unless your dog gets anxious. Hope this helps.

I'm not going to be of much help with that question. I seriously don't know about whether or not it is wild or farmed salmon. I would hope that since it's advertised as wild, that it is indeed wild salmon that is used. I will tell you that my three Pit Bulls really thrive on this and I couldn't be happier with this product.

It doesn't really smell like anything. Definitely not Salmon. As for the taste, I'm unsure. I know my cats loved it though.

I use Iceland Pure for both my dogs and cats. Like you I tried Grizzly first. I have 3 cats who don't like salmon, they wouldn't eat the food with Grizzly, but will eat it with Iceland Pure. It does have a slight odor, but definitely better than any others I've tried. I've noticed a distinct difference in the old dogs and cats since starting them on essential oils. They move more comfortably and their coats look more vibrant.

No, I have had mine a long time and no scent change. It definitely did not smell like fish at all. It was almost scentless. I believe you received a bad batch and I would open a immediate resolution request and be very adamant. This is such a great product-well worth it and I love it. Great company too. I am sorry you re having problems. Good Luck.
