Is it safe to break the pills into 1/4 to give to much smaller dog?

Too much glucosamine can cause bleeding disorders so I would stick to the appropriate size for your dog.

There is a Dasuquin for small dogs. I would use that instead of breaking pills to make sure you have the proper dose for your dogs weight.

Yes you can I buy tablets for large dogs and I have a medium size bordercollie and I put him on 1/2 the doze

I give these tablets (Adenosyl 425) to my dog daily, but as a whole pill. The pills are coated so they are designed to be swallowed whole. I can see why you would asked that question as these pills are solid and I do not see why they could not be chewed. It would only matter to the dog I think as to the taste of the pill.

The chewable tablets are scored down the middle so you can snap them in half. I would use 1 and 1/2 tab. At first, my dog wouldn't eat them, but now he loves them - like a treat. If you have the non-chewable pills, get a pill splitter. If this dosage doesn't seem to be enough, then up it to 2. . Hope this helps!

So far, I haven't found a pill I couldn't split. I am extremely happy with this purchase as I take 28 pills a day (!) and two of them that are quite small have to be split. The rest are larger but I take them whole. 1/8 of an inch should be no problem at all.

This product works VERY well, but it is a strong medicine, so I would advise you to call your veterinarian, because the lowest weight it gives is 25 pounds and that weight they say to give only 1/2 teaspoon! One drop could do damage to your smallest dog. Hope this helps.

I think it depends on the size of your dog. These are pliable and you can break apart and mold around two pills, if not able to fit into one. I have a papillon and the capsule size is too big for her to get in one bite, so I break things up. Note: the Peanutbutter are the WORST for pliability. We stick with the chicken flavor, as they're the softest.

There is a tablet size and a capsule size. We have a 50 lb dog. If the pill is small, pill size will work. For larger pills, we ground up the pill into a powder and poured the powder into a capsule size pill pocket. Worked just fine.

As my vet recommends buy the biggest and use smallest amount to cover pill to make last since they are costly but can use entire one if needed I believe they come in tablet and capsule size capsule smaller they are like dough they shape easy all three my dogs will take them and they don't all eat same treats they may come in diff flavors. I have a used to be 60 pound mix and a chi tiny one and tall one all take no problems w these. Hope this helps sorry not much punctuation on my cell.

No, the tablets are not chewable. I slip a bit of peanut butter around the pill and that works for my dog. This supplement is to be taken on an empty stomach at least an hour before a meal. The directions specify that the tablet should not be crushed or split.

It is the size of a multi-vitamin/mineral, which is not huge but on the large size. I think you could easily break the pill in half.

I'd say it's about 6 inches long but it's better for a cat or small dog. A large dog could possibly bite it in half. Better to hide the dog's pill in a piece of food or peanut butter or a "Pill Pocket" - a product on the market for giving pills to dogs.

They're not that large. I put them in one of those little "pill pockets" they sell at the pet sotore & she swallows it right down. My dog is a Westy & only weighs about 12 lbs. so she's not very big. Hope this helps answer your question. :-)

I can't guarantee that, but I would bet on it. Our dogs love them. The capsules are big enough to half or quarter. I highly recommend them

You could probably just use the scoop provided,1/4 tsp would be the dose. It's like heart guard 5-25 lb is one amount,doesn't change if the animal is 5 or 25 lb. I highly recommend this product too. Very helpful for my dog with immune system issues. He was very sickly be fire useing this

Sorry for the late reply I have been out of the country! The product label indicates the dosage for a 10 lbs dog so I called my Vets office and they it is safe just follow instructions.

yes, I would recommend using this product, even though the bites are triangular in shape, they are soft and can be tore in two. I do this and give my dogs one and a half...give yours one of the two pieces
