"I was a little nervous ordering this product due to the negative reviews on the smell. But, I am so happy I did order! The smell is no different than any other soft chews. These calming treats work better than the three other brands I’ve tried, plus they are more affordable! "
"I bought these for my dog after reading the decent reviews. But after using them for a week or so, I noticed that on the days I gave them to my dog, a few hours later she’d vomit. It took me a bit to make the connection. So we are discontinuing use and will find a better brand."
