Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It is indeed odorless and tasteless. I tried it. My cats actually drink it! I would like to address the one star review purportedly breaking down the ingredients. Yes, sodium hydroxide can be very caustic. It is also used to raise the ph balance of drinking water, causes the crispness of pretzels and is apparent in hominy, corn nuts, grits and is evident in a number of European dishes. "Sodium benzoate is most widely used in acidic foods such as salad dressings (vinegar), carbonated drinks (carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (citric acid), pickles (vinegar), and condiments. It is also used as a preservative in medicines and cosmetics.Concentration as a food preservative is limited by the FDA in the U.S. to 0.1% by weight. Sodium benzoate is also allowed as an animal food additive at up to 0.1%, according to AFCO's official publication. It has been shown to actually halt the progression of Parkinson's in mice. Cats have a significantly lower tolerance against benzoic acid and its salts than rats and mice." I liken it to vanilla. When my mother would bake I was reduced to a whimpering toddler as the vanilla smelled so good I wanted to sample it by itself. A few years later, at about the age of 12, she finally relented. I shivered with anticipation as she put a very small amount in my mouth and I wanted to retch! I have 10 rescues and was thrilled to find something with no odor or taste. I have yet to find an animal that would actually drink the minty flavored products. Yes, I have tasted it and it has NO taste. If I do notice either side effect "one star" mentioned, or any other for that matter, I will add a lower amount and, if it should persist, I will have to cease using it. I pray it does not as my Bobtail's breath has significantly improved. There are a number of items we ingest that have the properties of a "poison" of some sort depending on the amount used hence regulation. If you research something all the information should be presented so a person may make an informed decision. I love my four legged children with all my heart. My neighbor is a feeder breeder and I have gone many extra miles to help and protect them. I would never do anything to knowingly endanger them. I just ordered my third bottle and my one regret is that it took so long to find it.
