Do dogs like the taste?

Appear to! No problems in palatability- additionally helpful is the size - not overly big - of course depending on the breed of dog you are administering this to. This was purchased for a Labrador. Hope this helps!

I was skeptical, too, about the taste because our golden retriever mixed breed is very finicky about chewable supplements. But to our surprise he really likes these. We've been giving him 2 in the am and 2 at night for about 5 days, and he chews then right up. We would definitely recommend them. Of course time will tell as to how much they help his joint problems.

Frankly, I think that any of the flavors might leave a visible stain on the carpet, depending in part on your dogs' chewing habit. One of my dogs tends to chew pretty neatly, picking up the smaller pieces pretty quickly. The other is a slob, chewing and drooling out saliva that matches the color of the treat - and that would stain anything. What I did is taught her to enjoy her treats to her hearts content - as long as she has a hand-towel under her to catch the bits and slobber. When she's done, I just throw the towel in with the wash, no worries. Works well for all kinds of treats too (cow hooves, kongs stuff with PB, etc.).

My dogs eat it. They are picky. You can mix it into their food. The dose is as big as a sweet and low packet.

Yes my dogs love it. I have a pug and a wiener dog, and they both love that food.

My dog likes it so much, that it won't stay there so long, but if you leave it dry, then enough water besides, they will eat as much as they want, without the risk of getting spoiled.

My dogs lick until the brush practically falls apart so therefore it must be a matter of personal taste. I wonder if there are other flavors? Keep looking for those because the dog must brush the tongue for it to work.

Why? Simply so your dog will like the taste. Personally, I'd rather the sorbitol not be included, and I was shocked to see that it was the number one ingredient in most of the pet dental products that I've purchased, as it's mostly derived from corn syrup. And as I read more and more labels, I'm learning the sorbitol is the main ingredient in almost every pet dental product on the market, and why I going to stop purchasing commercial pet dental products that contain it. So, very good question Ralph E. Boy. And as to why vets recommend it. Well, vets don't make much money from healthy dogs with good teeth. Reminds me of the all the doctors and dentists who handed out lollipops and suckers to kids. Why? Simply so your dog will like the taste.

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. Lol My dogs say they are awesome! I like that they don't cause gut issues and they don't stink like fake meat.

These say they have 'natural flavor' and they smell very mildly like garlic and yeast. My dog will eat them like they're a treat.

just a comment on one of the comments G3 & G4 for horses has an apple flavor that may taste bitter to so dogs, the one for dogs has a chicken flavor I think.

I suppose if your dog already eats rocks than it will eat these. They are an iron ore rock, they have no appeal to dogs other than they are rocks.

I bough mine and it has lasted for about 6 months. It has a smell but seems fine. Our dogs love it and enjoy the taste.

I have 2 labradors. One is 11 and one is 7 and they are around a fit 85 pounds. I would say we noticed a difference in about a month. Plus I am in rescue and have given it to some of my foster dogs. Every dog loves the taste including the picky ones. It is a great way to get them to eat their food and get some added nutrition in them as well. I started my labradors on it after it was suggested by someone who runs a large breed rescue group that I know and trust. My dogs have been on it for a few years and I will keep buying it. It has made a noticable change in my dogs. But make sure you follow the directions and keep it in the orginal packaging and keep it refrigerated or it may not work as well. I have 2 labradors.

I can't answer as to taste, but they smell like a cross between chicken & beef liver. It's the scent that attracts dogs so much. Ours loves it!

Yes absolutely. My 13 yr.old Shetland Sheep dog is a picky as they come. She loves them. They are meat flavored and really help older dogs move better. Used them for years. Good Product.
