I have been extremely satisfied with the Greenies Pill Pockets Roasted Duck and Pea Formula. To clarify, this is the same as "Allergy Formula" (it's written on front of the package), although on amazon it is listed as a separate product.
My dog is on a novel protein source diet and cannot eat the beef or chicken Pill Pockets, although he must take daily medications. Getting him to take his daily medications was a huge hassle until I found out about these.
I do agree with a previous reviewer about the smell and color of these duck/pea Pill Pockets. The smell is unfortunate, to say the least, and the color is interesting-looking. If my dog did not have allergic issues, I would definitely give him the regular beef or chicken flavor Pill Pockets instead.
However, comparing the two products, I believe one reason the Allergy Formula Pill Pockets have a certain odd color is due to lack of added color. In other words, they have a more natural color. In the beef Pill Pockets, "caramel color" is one of the ingredients, but it is not in the Allergy Formula. In case, anyone is interested, these are the ingredients in the Roasted Duck and Pea Allergy Formula: duck, glycerin, dried peas, natural flavors, vegetable oil, water, salt, potassium sorbate (to preserve freshness), xanthan gum, citric acid, preserved with mixed tocopherals (a source of Vitamin E).
My dog likes the Allergy Formula Pill Pockets just as well as the regular Pill Pockets, so the offensive smell does not seem to affect him at all.
Finally, I saw in an earlier review where someone said these were smaller than the normal "capsule" size. I have NOT found this to be true. I have ordered several times and every time, the capsule size is the same as for the regular beef or chicken flavor Pill Pockets. This means that usually you can break one in two, so they go twice as far. The texture of these Pill Pockets is just as malleable as the normal ones and it's quite easy to hide a pill in them. All in all, I highly recommend if your dog has allergy issues and can't take the normal ones.
