Do these treats have a foul odor? I tried another calming treat and they make me sick to even open the container and my dog wouldn't eat them.

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 had not noticed any but I just went and stuck my face in the bag and no they don't. My dog is picky about snacks and she eats them fine. As I said she is only 5 1/2 lb.so I have to break them in half even though they are small and are soft to chew. I want to echo the answer before mine THESE ARE NOT TREATS use them as directed.

These treats have a strong, dog food, processed meat smell. It is the kind of smell you would expect from a dog treat, but stronger. My dog seems to love them, and they do help to calm him down. It's not instant, but he seems to calm down much faster around company after he's had one of these treats

they just smell like a normal dog treat, I didn't notice much difference in my dogs behavior but she is wound pretty tight, and she would at least eat them, other ones I tried she wouldn't touch

My dog loves them. I'm vegetarian and very sensitive about meat smells, but these don't bother me at all.

Our's are kept in air conditioning and there's no change that I can see. The dogs still love them whether it's one year or more. Other treats get stale and dry up and it's difficult to break them up into smaller pieces. Jean

I HAVE tried them. I have been using them for several years. The do NOT have an odor and therefore cannot smell gross.They have no scent.

My vet keeps them on the shelf unopened and I have always done the same. I have never looked for an expiration date, but unless your dog is very tiny he will eat one at least every other day. At that rate, they will disappear fairly quickly. For more precise information, you could call a local vet and ask them to look the chews up and relate the handling instructions to you.

I am not sure as I have not tried them :) But I don't think they are flavored like either, I tend to smell the Brewer's Yeast Spirulina, Bee Pollen and Rosemary in the tablets. Not a negative smell, actually pleasant. My dog isn't very picky, but she loves them. Eats them as a treat after her meal.

I would have to say yes. I have a ten year old Maltese who has eating these since she could chew. She has a few every day as a snack. In fact, she refuses to eat any other treat. My vet sats she is the healthiest maltese she ever seen, and when asked her age, no one believes she is 10.

I haven't chewed one:) Kidding. Only my little 7 pound dog had a loose stool once, but after that she was fine.. so it must have been just an upset. Only one a day. Don't overfeed. Other dogs love them and it's their night=time treat. I bought the large for my Golden and the smaller ones for the Havanese....

My dogs have gone through 6 of them now and not one of them had any odor. Hope this helps.

BUYER BEWARE! Yes, they may have an odor. This is because the product is basically home made. It is made in somebody's backyard. No certified facilities, nothing. Look them up. Google them for yourself. It would not surprise me if the smell you were sensing was mold due to inadequate processing. You just never know, unless your product comes from a name brand and a legitimate lab.

Yes! My dogs love them. These are the only special treats they get because I don't trust all the others are safe.

Hmmm - I did not look at the ingredients, but only know that my dogs didn't like the flavor and I didn't keep the packages (gave them away). In terms of breath freshening, I have found that several of the products to add to their water have been very helpful (Pet Fresh brand especially), but they also caused significant stomach upset after a week or so (vomiting), so I stopped those, too. For dental freshness, we now take our smallest dog for non-anesthetic sonic teeth cleaning every 3 months or so. Expensive, but it really helps.

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

I'm sorry, but we didn't give it a lot of chance to work. Plus, I brush my dog's teeth and he really doesn't have tartar so I can't really answer. I can tell you that my vet recommended them, and I can tell you that my dog really enjoyed chewing them-but he choked on them too often for my comfort. Sorry, not much help, was I?

They had a slight odor when they came out of the packaging but it wasn't pungent. I have a very sensitive (meaning that I can smell things most people can't smell and in low doses too) nose too. I didn't wash them and the scent went away after a day or two. Hope this helps you out.

As others have stated, the damp chew going into the baggie is the problem. After my dogs enjoyed their chew sessions with these treats I let the chews completely dry out in the open air before putting it into any closed container for storage. I hope this works for you too. These treats are too expensive to lose them to mold!

My dogs love the peanut/honey and the yogurt/apple. They both have a nice smell- like a cookie. My son actually tasted the yogurt/apple ones... Weird. He said it was not bad but not very sweet. LolMy dogs say they are awesome! I like that they don't cause gut issues and they don't stink like fake meat.

No. I was afraid of that too. But they really have been great for my dog. No odor. Not slimey and stay intact very well.
