I just received my order -been buying these exact chews- these don't have the same reddish layer/flavoring on the chews. A change in recipe?

I've never seen the reddish layer/flavoring on these chews & I've been buying them for years!

Coming back to add more: they may have changed something. Paying closer attention at treat time, our new pack has harder treats. These are not soft like packs we've had in the past.

Yes, they are meant to be chewed. The last batch we bought did have a bit of a fishy taste to them, but it's not unbearable. We just ordered a new batch, so we'll see how they are.

I take these all the time. I think the vitamins are different colors by the batches they are made in. I also think that each flavor is supposed to be darker to tell them apart. But I would be a little worried if they were all like really brown. Hope this helped.

No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness. I swear they are all made by the same company and just resold under different packaging, so don't bother trying to get a different brand. I tried cutting them up and mixing them into wet food (to which I always add a little water anyway). My thought is that they would soften and take on the smell/taste of the wet food I know they like. It seemed to work OK (just OK), but I couldn't tell if BOTH of my cats were getting dosed and by how much. I finally just switched to a powder form that should mix evenly with a wet food, which I can better monitor. No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness.

Hi Sue. They are a hard chalky type. The texture as I chewed it even felt different than the Flintstone vitamin which chews and feels more like candy. This just felt different. Hope that helps!

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.

My bottle says it expires 06/17 but I am not eating them, they are very sour and not sweet and delicious like the ones I purchased earlier. These are also not varigaited like the photo shows, they are a solid color so not the same as the photo either. Definitely not happy.

I know the ingredients and taste have changed. I do not have the new ones available, but I'm sure you can do an internet search. Just make sure you are looking at the smaller newer canister. Hope this helps.

The design of the packaging has been changing. Maybe they are tired of paying the dog models. I would still like to know what HC stands for but it looks like it will eventually leave the design all together. I don't believe that the ingredients have changed. I have one dog that would like paint off the floor if it was wet, but the other dog is more choosy so I'm pretty sure it's the same formula.

When I first bought them about a year ago, they were great, delicious. I bought a few more in the springtime, and then my last recent order a couple of months ago, they were whitened, hardened, and did not have that fresh taste, sorry to say.

Yes, I noticed this, too. I'm wondering if it's maybe a formulary change that came along at the same time as the new packaging, because I've been buying these from Amazon for years and there wasn't the awful smell before with the other packaging.

I called and their customer service number before ordering to ask this same question - I was told about 455 chews. I haven't received my order yet so I'll update this question when I receive them.

I'm glad you asked, I just received my order, the exparation date is 01/23/15. I didn't realize i needed to eat them that quickly. They are very tasty, but spicy. Hope that helps.

they probably just changed their packaging.... both should be the same product

They are not chewable....I've changed to Piping Rock vitamins (available on line from Piping Rock Vitamin site)...I've never purchased chewables. All I have gotten are either gel or powder inside. Have you done a search on line with "chewable" in the search line? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

i haven't tasted a difference at all. I think they just changed the label, but not the recipe. they're as delicious as always, by themselves and in all my recipes.
