I've only been giving these to my cat for a few days and his dandruff is nowhere to be seen! Works wonders for dry winter skin and his coat has already gotten shinier! The only problem is that my cat doesnt like them as a treat at all. I crumble them up and put them in his favorite canned food.
Pros: price, works great
Cons: Hard to Administer, Taste

I bought this for my cat cause he had persistent feline acne & i hated seeing him scratching it all the time. After about a week of using it all the black acne spots he had around the bottom of his lips are gone & contrary to what everyone else is saying my cat actually loves the flavor. Every time i take them out he gets excited cause he thinks they are a treat. I can say they are rather large but he chews them fine & he is only about 8 months old.
Pros: easy to administer, works great, taste, price

Item definitely isn't soft and my cat only ate one- the 1st time it was offered and wouldn't touch it after another sniff (doesn't smell appealing at all). I ended up wrapping a pill pocket around that and he ate it ...then got smart and wouldn't take it with the pocket over it so I assumed he didn't like the taste either. So, now how I get him to eat it is to cut the supplement into 3's, cover with a pill pocket and then roll that into crushed treats making sure to embed the treats into the pocket. I place 6-8 in his treat bowl twice a week and he'll eat them readily in that form. Alot of work (a lil fun actually) for a supplement cats are "supposed to like" but won't eat. The only reason I'd buy them again is because my cat's skin isn't as dry, I see less flakes and less sensitivity in affected area. Buh'der will be 12 (70yrs old:) in March.

While I disagree with the other reviewer who said that these are too big (a food process, really?!), my cat (who is not a finicky eater) is batting somewhere around 1 for 10 with these (meaning she's eaten it once out of the 10 times that I've offered it to her). The smell is HORRIBLE for us human folks, but for some very strange reason there's something about it that attracts my cat like a moth to a flame (but then she just stares at it).
Save your receipt.

you need to let the soften and then crumble them over the food. you can't feed directly as a treat.

My cat wouldn't eat these. They are huge. I put them in a food processor to grind them up and she still would not eat this. They have an awful medicine smell to them. Total waste of money.

I agree with the consistency of these treats as the previous review. My cat would not eat these. I also wonder if she doesn't like the duck flavor because she loves the GNC joint treats, but those are chicken flavor, and can also be a little hard. As a trick I empty the bag into a tupperwear container, this seems to soften the treats and makes them easier to chew. I can't rate the results because it's only the first day.

We bought these for our itchy cat. She loves treats but she would not eat these. I thought maybe they were a little too big so I cut them into pieces. On the package it said "soft chews" but they were so hard they crumbled when I cut them. Maybe they were outdated but I don't know since there was no expiration date on the package. Our cat is not at all picky about what she eats but she wouldn't take even one bite of these.
