What flavor are these? I've purchased some that are liver flavor & my dog hates them. The odor is unbelievable. It fills the room.

My dog (yellow Labrador) loves these CALMING treats. Our whole family thinks they smell like beef bullion cubes. Nobody minds giving them to him because of any "odors". For our family, they are the go-to calming treat for our 8 year old Labrador and our 14 year old house cat! Good luck with your pet!!

Funny it says " lip smakin Flavor" but the first three inactive ingredients are Brewer dried yeast, Fish Oil and Flaxseed Meal. My dogs sure like to eat them and they do seem to help take the edge off of stressful situations, when needed.

I'm not exactly sure, but they smell herbal. They're also tiny, so they're gone quickly. I didn't notice the smell lingering, but they do stink.

I , also, called the toll-free # w/ same results as other caller(s). My dogs have never had an issue w/ these specific treats & one of them has really bad digestive issues...I just do't give him any of the "red" coloured snacks, as these seem to cause a lot of gas/bloating= could be the red food coloring used? Great question!

No, ours didn't have any smell to them. My mother in law would notice that kind of thing too. Maybe you got a wrong batch? :o( That's terrible though.

Yes, I have noticed the smell in the last orders we have.. The odor is so strong that I am worried if it is harmful to the animal.

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 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 YeastSpirulina, 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.

They are a hard chewable, but they easily break and are not hard to chew. They smell like liver and my dog thinks that they are treats. I have to watch my cat because she trys to make off with them. They are a sure thing and work!!!

It smells more like beef jerky. My cat was really falling for it for a week but now is wise to it. Annoying but thats my cat. He definitely liked it more than pill pockets. If the pill isn't too big, try wrapping it in cream cheese or crush it and get a feeding syringe and force it in through the back if his mouth. It's tough.. Dogs just suck everything down, cats are picky!

There is a Bach Flower Remedy called "rescue". They make one for pets specifically without alcohol. I have not tried it yet (moving mine next week), but it has no flavor or odor. You can also massage it into their ears if they won't ingest it. One of mine will eat those "Calm" treats (from VT) but the other won't. I also have three pheromone diffusers that I have not used yet. Armed and dangerous for the move !!! You can also buy pheromone spray. When I use that (Feliway) they get calm immediately.

I never paid much attention till I got this e-mail but they do have an odor. It does not seem like syrup to me but more like some kind of paint. I also bought a 100 pack of Philips and they have almost the same kind of odor. The main thing is that they work.

Unfortunately my dog would not play with his Goughnut or his Goughnut stick. I discovered why after tasting them. They have an incredibly bitter taste. I washed and soaked them in various cleaners, which helped some, but they still taste bitter. Maybe that is why they are said to be indestructible.

Well, it just might, there is no scent in these tage that might smell good enough to eat. I liked the idea of non-chemical repellant, also, but my dog is very old, 18, and would have seizures. He cannot tolerate a "regular" flea collar and for what ever reason still had frequent seizures with the Tags. Please let me know how your dog repondes to these. Merry Christmas.

I buy them for my two Golden Retrievers. They each have one daily to massage their gums and help clean the plaque off their back teeth. The coating is VERY smelly and they really like them. Ingredients are: Cow Ear, Liver, Egg Whites, Beef Pizzle, Chicken Cartilage, Fructose, Caramet Color, Fish Oil, Chicken Fat with Mixed Tocopherois, Vlueberry Powder, and Grape Seed Oil. My dogs do not choke on them. Only 5-7% fat, 80% crude protein, 5 fiber and 10%moisture. Recommended size is slightly larger than your pet's mouth and not intended to be swallowed in large pieces. (Needs to be monitored in front of the TV while you watch the news or something. (: ) I buy them for my two Golden Retrievers.

I'm not sure, I'll have to look at the ingredients on the bag when I get home. I think I'll donate the food to our local dog shelter. My dog just immediately turned his nose up at this flavor.

Chris, where did you read that? It would be helpful to know so that I can make an educated decision on whether to keep buying these for my dog. Thanks.

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.
