    eww. wonder if they went bad. I had a few bags, but didnt notice any funny smell. I did find it odd that they went on clearance everywhere shortly after they came in to the stores. I gave most of mine away, because I noticed it turned the dogs poo a funny color even though I only gave them as treats a few times a day.
    I would call purina and question the smell, and if they are still good maybe drop them off at the grocery store donation bin. I think sobeys have bins at the front door.

    Yes, I noticed last night that my dog's new purina one smelled quite fishy and wondered if maybe it was going bad.

    I mix a little bit of it in with my dog's regular kibble and he hasn't had any problem with it. I haven't noticed a funny smell with mine though.

    If you think it has gone bad why would you give it to another dog to eat??? Just throw it out and take the coupons. I wouldn't risk getting another dog sick if it had gone bad!

    I got 3 of those little trial size bags for my dog and everytime she has eaten one, she has thrown up. I won't be getting anymore even if it is free!
