Change to a lidded jar eliminates the problem. I buy one once a month and the product always come sealed and in tact. They are always fresh and flavorful.

The packaging is garbage. The container is pretty flimsy. Business ethics fail. I believe the ingredients are not the same.

The lid is not as secure as it could/should be. Even if it were to appropriately clip into place, the top flap which opens has visible gaps, so it is not like it would be sealed for freshness anyhow.

Since cat * is not harmful (in small doses) to dogs.

The smell is noticeable but not unpleasant, sort of minty-grassy. One bottle lasts me about a month with daily use.

It also calms her down when she is a bit anxious. They love it. They crave it. Now they growl and hiss until they get their spray.
