Cutting them in half is no problem, but quartering maybe difficult. They can be easily crushed or ground with a cheap coffee grinder.

The label does not read chewable, but I have a large dog and he does chew the tablets. There is a phone number on the back of the bottle that you can call for information - or the company probably has a website. You could also pose this question on a search engine and see what you come up with.

I think you can cut them in half for little dogs. However....I have had mine on my golden for 2 weeks and am still taking ticks off of him that are attached to the skin. Very diappointing

I'm not sure. My vet recommended this for my dog, but they only had the tablets. My dog did not like he taste of the tablets and I had to mix them with food. This is the same only in the chew tab. My dog loves it. He eats 1/2 tab daily. It was a lot cheaper on Amazon than from my vet. I believe it's from the manufacture. Hope this helps.

It is not a chewable tablet. Standard pill shape, however does not seem to be milled particularly hard. My dog has been taking for over a year, absolutely no problem in chewing it. He loves the flavors, considers it a treat. No notches on the pill for cutting, but because it is not very hard or dense, probably not difficult, especially with one of those pill cutting devices found at drug stores, or probably on Amazon.

Hi. There is a cutter for tablets,that I bought at a pharmacy. About crushing it, I realy don't know, maybe it's better to ask your vet?But there is another solution,to hide it in a piece of food, like sausage.I give my dog the tablets like this:I open her mouth, put the tablets as deep as I can, and then gently rub her throat to help her swallow

They certainly can be crushed. I have previously taken the 1000 mg tablets and cut them in half in order to just take 500 mg. I however have not ever crushed one completely and taken it but I don't see why that would be any problem. Hope this is helpful..

Not that I'm aware of; you'd need to get the chewable ones. My kitty takes her meds mixed with her moist food 2 x/day. Has never been an issue that way. These were much harder to crush, so I went back to the chewables, also available thru Amazon. Hope that helps.

They are chewable. They are smaller in diameter than a penny. Yes they are market to break ( I break them. You may cut them). Have have 6 dogs that I give them too. One is 55 lbs, 13lbs. And the rest are 10lbs. And down to 4 lbs. The recommended dosage is 1/2 tab per twenty lbs so I just quarter them down. We are very satisfied with this product! Hope this helps. When they are quartered they do crumble a bit. I just drop it into their food and that makes my fur children happy.

You could cut it in half before you put it in the microwave I assume. My dog went through it in just a couple of minutes I have a great pyrenees and I had to end up taking it away from her after about 10 minutes. She absolutely loved it it just didn't hold up for her

Yes, it can easily be cut in 1/2 without disturbing the sustained release. I did call Jarrow's product specialist about this issue to use for a dog. He pointed out the main concern would be a rough edge when swallowed. We are able to soften that either with a file or by premoistening before administering the dose. Either works fine. And the time release factor stays intact because the NAC is embedded in carbomer.

I purchased the chewable tablets and use a mortar and pestle to crush it and place into her food. I never had the soft chews but I doubt that my dog would eat them. She will not eat any chewable medication. I bought the stainless steel mortar and pestle from Amazon and it works and cleans well.

Buy a bottle for dogs and compare the ingredient break-down with over-the-counter for humans. If it is comparable then take the cheaper route. I buy the canine brands because I am not confident enough to cut up pills.

These are more difficult to break than the chewable ones. I'm not sure you would be able to 1/4 them. Hope that helps.

They can be broken in half for smaller dogs. My dog loves them. She gets one after her morning meal.
