My dog, a dachshund, loves it. I mix it in with her diet dog food and she eats all the Dr. Marty stuff out first, I think she thinks she's getting a bowl full of treats. I think it smells gross, like a dead bird or rat, but it's got a lot of healthy stuff in it for her so I don't go out of my way to smell it, just don't stick your nose in the bag. It has raw meat in it, so I guess it should smell like that. It doesn't stink up the room, you just smell it when you're mixing it up or if you put your nose near the bag. I've ordered it twice now, and I'll probably keep getting it as long as I can still get it for $83/3 bags. If they raise the price, I won't be able to keep buying it. It's 3 times as expensive as my dog's regular dry food. We have to mix her dry food in with the Dr. Marty stuff otherwise she will have very soft stools like Dairy Queen. I'm not sure how fattening this stuff is because my dog is not losing any weight with this food, but she hasn't gained any either. It would be nice if they sold it in bigger bags for people who wanted to buy more instead of having to buy three little bags all at once.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
