Has anyone else noticed their dogs having horrible gas from these? I mean like rotten egg gas?

If your dogs have been on a raw meat or grain-free diet, be aware that these treats are not grain-free. One of my guys is sensitive to grains and gets horrible gas when he manages to finagle a roll off an unsuspecting dinner guest. That's the only thing I could imagine that might cause your dog to experience gas after eating these.

I haven't noticed any, I give her the chews in the morning and we walk a lot during the day.

Only when I first started them on it. It cleared up after a couple of weeks and they have been fine since.

I've been using these for years and never had any that had a bad smell. Obviously, something is wrong. Call the company.

Yes, they are poor quality. The amount of gas varies and they leak terribly.

I don't know. They smelled bad & my dog didn't like them. I gave them away to someone who's dog likes them & is doing well on them

Interesting question. We don't have any unpleasant odor with ours. Perhaps you have ferrous iron in your water. One cause of the rotten egg smell is from dissolved hydrogen sulfides in the raw water (H2S). This is often found in waters with high iron content and a low PH. and that can create an unpleasant odor. We have well water and also a water softener that removes some of the iron and minerals but we've not had a problem with odor. Good Luck.

I had the same problem. Time and running them through the dishwasher over and over again got the taste (and smell) out. I hope it wasn't something too toxic. Makes me wonder what they make these with ...

Hello, best way I can think of is the smell of rotten eggs, Always indoors works much better than outdoors with any stink item for best results. Thanks so much and please any other questions at all just ask as I am here to help.

I give them to my 8 pound 7 month old Shih Tzu. Sometimes he eats the whole thing, but I usually take it away after an hour of chewing or so. if it looks too used I throw it away, otherwise he gets it again another day.

Please be mindful that greenies are for Pets breath and foul smell when pet burps. I will consult with a veterinarian before making a decision. However I feel that regular will fit their needs. I hope this helps!

yes my shih tzu did the same thing....they really do look better more than they are good. I just hate having a wee wee pad laying on the floor.

I'm sorry, Judy. I bought them so long ago and our dog moved out with our daughter 8 mos ago. I would say there's better stuff out there, but this wasn't bad.

They do have a strong odor when you open the package. I left mine in the garage for a few days and that helped. There is still an odor but you have to be right near to notice it.

Well Rian, your question should be directed to the either the maker or the seller of the Yummy Chummies. I, too, have noticed my latest bag has much firmer treats, appearing to have dried in storage, and I am definitely not pleased. Even though they are harder, the dogs seem to like them all right and are able to chew them anyway.

They don't have good smell. Not too bad I do not believe they are flavored. My dog gets 3 a day and she thinks they are a treat. No flea problems, but I also give her trifexis.

I had a lot of problems with gas in my Lab. Tried every 4 and 5 star dog food I could find and finally tried Merrick Beef, Barley,Carrot formula and he has had no more gas. It is such high grade dog food that you don't have to feed as much. My lab gets one cup twice a day and is doing great.

There is a powder called FOR-BID for dogs horses & cats that you sprinkle over the feces, which makes it taste so bad they stop. Maybe you could sprinkle over the pellets. My large German Shepherd ingested some of the pellets and fortunately passed them in her stool and had no signs of poisoning. (Scared the hell out of me!) But, I would be worried if a little animal swallowed some. Hope it works!

My dog ate them at first but then started spitting them out so I hide them in treats. I still use this brand because my vet highly recommends them
