Both my senior dogs liked this--I found when I added a little canned cooked chicken pieces on top of the dry did help also. My golden is 13--had hip problems, now going up and down the stairs. She was over weight before so didn't move well. Now being more active lost those extra pounds. I also had luck with alternating this product with Pet Naturals Hip+Joint. which is pretty much the same but with added C and manganese. Hope this helps. Bonnie

No odor I can tell...and it doesn't say that it is 'flavored'. All I know is my 'very finicky' little guy eats his food like a little pig with K-9 Liquid mixed in. And after about 2 wks I noticed a big improvement in his mobility (he had surgery for a torn cruciate ligament) and has now recouped full usage of his leg. I would definately recommend this product.

I personally would not eat anything that arrived to me damaged. To be on the safe side contact the vendor and explain what happen but I wouldn't eat it. Either ship it back or discard. Sorry for your experience.

I'm not a vet, but I wouldn't mix this food as it is such a pure food source that it defeats the purpose of using this great food if you are adding less expensive food. Orijen is wheat and grain free, so you will be adding those things back in with other food sources. For the record, my dogs have been very healthy on this food, and I am really afraid of food sourcing from China (in a lot of standard dog foods). Since you have so many dogs, I would look into buying this from a retailer who will give you a break on volume purchases. Also, Orijen has a buy 10 get one free through retailers (with receipts), so that is a 10% discount right there. Orijen is expensive, but so are vet bills.

Good morning Nancy ... It looks like Jackie-the-Greyhound did a good job in presenting the ingredients. In reviewing the evaluation of the product you get a good overview. For the times I've used it I've been satisfied with the extra-added flavor. On the History Channel I've seen how potato flakes are made and was encouraged to learn that preservatives are necessary to keep good consistency. I would think this cheese uses the same concept of removing the moisture of the cheese and then drying it. I know I'm probably sounding goofy hear but while it probably doesn't fall into the 'health food' category it's a good product. Good morning Nancy ...

I bought mine from another vender. Just looked at the expiration date and it is an expired item. Never noticed before. However, I have been using and did not notice the difference. Since I did not ingest the product, I am not concerned, but will be careful the next time I order. Glad you asked the question. Made me more aware.

my cats have no problem with the product. Maybe your dog objects to the flavor. Try a 1/2 dose and see if he will drink.

Welactin does sell an unflavored vs fish flavored. My cat prefers this but I can't seem to find it except at my local vet for twice as much. So until I can find it cheaper, I use the fish flavored & mix with some Fancy Feast with broth. She seems to like it better when the flavor is "hidden" in brothy yumminess.

They are NOT flavored, the only way I can get it down our dog's mouth is OPEN and SHOVE!! Not nice but this medicine is keeping our 10 year old dog healthy.

Hi there! I bought this for my cat, so I made sure it was pure. Also, my dad takes this product because of it's purity! I sure hope this helps you with your question.

Nothing. It's the sellers here on Amazon trying to rip us off. I also heard that Nioxin is supposedly reformulating the product, but not to try and sell it for the prices these greedy opportunists on Amazon are trying to get. It's not the company charging these prices. It's because of it's lack of availability right now. I thought it was supposed to reformulated by now. You've got me curious about again. It's been a couple of years since I was looking for this. It was a good product once, it didn't need improvement (probably had ingredients in it that weren't supposed to be there). I paid the same thing you did. Hopefully, it will be coming out soon. Plus, if sellers still have the old stuff, it has to be REALLY old and probably expired by now.

I would ask a vet about it's ingredients. Sometimes things that are natural and perfectly safe for humans can be poisonous for our pets.

No idea. My cat likes all the flavors and his teeth and breath are much improved after just a couple of months. He is not a candidate for a teeth cleaning due to his age(14)and health(insulin dependent diabetic.He is on a prescription diet and "begs"(with a claw) people food. I decided that it would be better to give him something more beneficial than people meat.I NOW just get the hairball formula since he was constantly wanting more & more. He has never liked any treats before this. He is a grazer and never has gained any weight before. Now I think we're going to be in trouble when we go to the vet. That's why I cut back to the hairball kind & count how many I put in his dish. He LOVES them!!! No idea.

None of my cats will eat the lysine chews either. I know some people have tried on dry food with success but I've only tried it on wet food. When I was was just sprinkling it on top of the wet food and not mixing it in I noticed they were not eating all of their food. I'm not sure if it was the smell though. I just switched to Tomlyn which is less stinky & cheaper and it doesn't seem to bother them when I don't mix it quite as well as I should when I'm in a hurry.

I don't have an answer for you, but I think I'm about to return mine. I've been using it for 6 weeks thinking the metal smell and taste would go away, now I feel very badly about feeding it to him tasting and smelling like metal. I think I will call Baby Brezza this week and ask if that is normal and harmful, it can't be good.

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!

Two questions: One, is the Avidin found in egg whites deactivated in this product? And second, is this product unflavored? Thanks.
