Has anyone purchased these treats in the past 6 months? What is the expiration date on the package? Reviews from 2009 aren't helpful. Thanks!

Hi - It seems Purina does not sell these under this label (Friskies "Oh No Hairball") anymore. However, the Purina ProPlan Focus Hairball Remedy (with real chicken) seems to be EXACTLY the same. My guess is Purina decided to rebrand and remarket. No other hairball remedy works for my cat as well as this one.

These are great for preventing and treating fur balls. They have petrolatum, which cats usually hate in pure form, but contained in soft chicken treats that they like. I find the major pet food suppliers are not restocking them, so I ordered ten from Amazon several months ago to ensure a dependable supply. Somebody should tell Friskies to make them again! Mine are dated November 2014. They keep well.

Haven't purchased them from Amazon, just from our local store & at the store the expiration date is only 10 months from now (Feb 2015). They should be ok. If not email Friskies. My cat loves them & they do work.

Interesting. I bought a box of 10 bags cuz I couldn't find them anywhere. I just looked and the expiration dst is April 2015. So I guess they're ok. My cat just loves them I give her only 3 a day Ellen

I bought a few months ago, Feb/Mar . . . when they no longer appeared at Petsmart. The bottom of the packets read: Best if used by Feb 2015. So they are good for a year but I think if the unopened packets are kept in a dry cool place, the treats should be ok for months and months.

I am using outdated ones but it doesn't seem to effect taste according to my cats. I use them to sink pill fragments into and then the med goes down quickly. Jane

Hi I buy them all the time. The expiration date is on the bottom of the package. They really work and have eliminated my cats throwing up hairballs almost completely except during intensive spring shedding when it's down to about every ten days. I hope this helps. Both my cats love them gobble them up like treats. amc

I just came here to reorder the 6 bag quantity because we just finished them--at the top of the screen it said that my last order date was March of 2013! I keep them in the freezer, even the bag that I have opened and am using the chips out of, I just put it back in the freezer. They kept just fine and there was no change in the product from freezing.

There is no expiration date that I have on mine. I see them as being non-perishable and I have had them for over a year probably and had some of them a month ago and they were still good. I don't eat carbs much anymore and 6 packages for just one person is lasting a long time.

Hi! I bought these in Late November 2012 for a holiday party in December and the expiration date was not until October of 2015 (I still have a small jar left) . They where a huge hit in the glasses of champagne! Enjoy & congratulations!

My Pomeranian has been enjoying these treats for several years now and has had no health issues. They're her favorite treat. In fact her Vet buys them all the time and leaves them out on the counter for his 'furry patients' and he thinks they're safe. Recently bought a product made in the U.S. called 'chicken jerky dog treats' which have been recalled.

I had the same issue with my last order. When I ran out, there was not time to order from Amazon, as we were going away. I bought some from my vet. They were nice and soft, like they used to be. Perhaps Amazon should reconsider their supplier or keep fewer in stock, so they do not become hard and stale.

I bought them in November or December...I have no ideal if they even had an expiration date. The problem wasn't that they were stale, after reading up on their chalky condition it indicated they were stored incorrectly (I can't remember the term but if you google chalky chocolate it will tell you). Amazon more than made me happy with the result they provided me. I highly recommend this candy.

Yikes! Sorry just seeing this. Mine expired about 3 months after purchase so you can certainly order now if you haven't ordered already. Love them!

Your never going to know the date, until you buy them. All I can tell you is thus far.. Every box I've ordered have had an expire date of at least a year out from when I bought them. It's a coin toss...

I just bought 2 cases and ALL of the cans were fine, nothing expired. I looked up the Newman Logo and found that the turkey formula and the wording they used was released on Jan 28, 2008...maybe that has something to do with the date at the end. All of the food that I purchased arrived with expiration dates of 2016. Both my cats ate fine and enjoying it!

No these are not expired. The expiration date is 05/2016. I have a little havanese, about 18 lbs. He couldn't take the recommended dose without it causing some intestinal issues. But I took him off for a week and then put him back on it and at 1/2 the dose, and not have had any issues.

Good question! I honestly don't know - perhaps that's when that particular flavor was first produced? I bet if you email the company they will give you a straight answer. They seem like good, caring people. I do know their products are among the few treats I give my dogs - I truly believe they are healthy treats, unlike most of the stuff you see on the store shelves. But seriously, email the company. I'm sure they will give you a straight answer.

The ones that I purchased in May of 2015 have a 3/29/16 expiration date. I have gotten ones at local grocery stores that were well past the expiration. They get pretty tough, but the taste has never been affected in my experience. Those were probably 6+ months past the expiry date.

Sorry I did not reply sooner. On Nov 8th and thereafter was out of state. Since that have also been ill and dog has been ill. Did not mean to be rude. I have wondered the same question about expiration recently and I have to call Arthur Andrews Pharmaceutical to ask them. Wish I could help you more.

The shipment I received was not going to expire until about a year after I bought them. Since three of my family members take them, that was fine for us. I suppose it would depend upon how often you took them and, of course, you might get a different expiration date than we did, but I have never had a problem with them expiring and I have purchased these often through Amazon.

they are fresh & expires in July 2014. I would reorder it again in the future. Just be aware that not everyone has strong jaws to chew especially older folks.

I'm sorry - I didn't pay any attention to the expiration dates - I ate them quickly and enjoyed them immensely - but did not even look at the expiration dates. Sorry.
