Yes, there is an odor to this flavor that is not in the chicken, beef or peanut butter. However, this is the only flavor that is grain and gluten free. So, for dogs with grain or chicken allergies, this is an excellent choice. And at only 8 calories per pocket, it does not add weight to senior or less active dogs. I had tried all natural peanut butter, which my dog loved. But at 100 calories per tablespoon, and she would get a about one and a half a day, she was putting on weight. Greenies Pill Pockets are an excellent choice and if you can get used to the smell, you can't go wrong. I don't notice the smell lingering in the kitchen like another review commented on, and I wash my hands immediately after giving it to my dog. The pill my dog takes is very small, so I break the tablet size in half and then pinch it together over the pill. They are so most, they are easily broken...which helps in keeping my dogs weight under control.
Pros: easy to administer, works great
Cons: price

In response to the previous 1 star review. Yes, these pill pockets stink. But, I have a hard time believing that any dog would turn their nose up to these things. Dogs (if you haven't noticed) love stuff that we typically think smells terrible. My dog is allergic to grains, yet needs to take 2 pills a day, and these pill pockets are a godsend!
In summary, if you expect a pill pocket to be good enough for YOU to eat, you may be disappointed by these. But, if you expect for your allergic dog to swallow these whole with a pill in the middle, then they will do the trick!
Pros: easy to administer, works great

I do agree with the review already posted. These allergy pill pockets DO STINK, badly. I've not tried the chicken or beef. Our dog does love them, thank goodness, and is not bothered by the smell. Our lab has never refused anything until she was put on a bladder medication (she's an old, old dog). I had to do something because we travel and this makes pill giving convenient for the boarding kennel. When at home, I administer the pill hidden in a spoon of peanut butter. By the way, I tried the Sentry brand because they come in peanut butter flavor and I found the quality very poor compared to the Greenies brand, they fall apart due to being very dry. We love Greenies pill pockets and are just enduring the smell. My only complaint is that at $.40 each, they are pricey. Peanut butter is much cheaper!

Literally Stinks!

Not only did my dog see right through this trick and refuse to get near this thing, I can't begin to describe how much these things stink! When I opened the bag the eye watering smell blew me away and lingered in the kitchen all evening. It isn't the protein, because of my dog's allergies she has eaten duck as her primary protein for years, and her food certainly does not smell like this. Spare your sense of smell and stay away from this one.
Cons: didn't work

These pill pockets have been extremely helpful in giving our dog her medicine. She thinks she's getting a treat and happily accepts them. The pill pocket is soft and chewy. The roasted duck and pea flavor is a fantastic option, especially for dogs that have allergies. Excellent product!
