Are these flavored treats that my dog will want to eat? Or are they pills or tablets I have to shove down her throat.?

They aren't yummy treats, but I wrap them in lunch meat or stick them on a chicken strip with a little peanut butter and one dog gobbles them up. The other dog is a little more challenging, but it never comes down to shoving it down his throat. It's worth any trouble because they are pain free and moving better.

I haven't tried them myself but we just put them in the bowl with our dog's dry food and she eats them right along with the food. They are a little softer than dry food. Our dog is ten lbs. so we give a half pill twice daily. She was limping when she would get up and no longer does that. Been using at least one year.

they are "breakable" flat tablets and we break in half and then break the half in small pieces and mix in his food.... it's joint/arthritis type medicine...similar to human's glucosine, but you don't give the dog the human version and vice versa. we have 10 lb Pomeranian and don't want to give him to much is why we half it.... I don't know that I'd call it a "treat", never have offered him one by itself - knowing our Barni, he'd just gobble it without asking what it was :) (they don't have a definitive "odor" so probably fairly tasteless) He eats so fast (inhales so to speak), I doubt he realizes taking 'medicine'.....

They are big flat pills that break easily. My 12 year old chihuahua eats half of one every morning. He likes them and he gets around a lot better than he was!

Sometimes my dog eats them 'plain', but sometimes I have to just put a little peanut butter on the edge of one. But that's just my dog. They are flavored and meant to just have the dog eat them out of your hand.

I have two dogs, one eats them like treats, the other I need to break and mix up in her food. They are very easy to break up with your hands.

I've not tried the pills. I didn't even know they made them but, you have to consider whether or not you dog swallows pills easily. My dog LOVES the liquid. He wolves his food down each morning

They are chew-able with flavor but my dog doesn't like it. Maybe because he is on different meds for a long time( he has bone cancer )he got used to that I cover his meds with liverwurst.Tablets are big and he needs to take 3 of them. He weights 100 lbs. As long as I put a little bit of liverwurst with them he eats them without a complain. They help him a lot. I am really happy with that product.

The best thing to do is just try them. You may have to try different doses-some dogs need more some less and it's not always based on size. Our dog is just over ten lbs and takes the med-large size chews.

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.

small bites, my dog is a medium sized and she does will with them. she is a slow eater so no gulping them down.

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 am not sure as I have not tried them :) But I don't think they are flavored like either, I tend to smell the Brewer's Yeast Spirulina, Bee Pollen and Rosemary in the tablets. Not a negative smell, actually pleasant. My dog isn't very picky, but she loves them. Eats them as a treat after her meal.

They are capsule sized. They can fit two capsules together. But large dog meds are usually flavored already for them to chew up. They should not need a pill pocket for large chewable tablets.

Yes, it is fine to crush them and mix them into food or to cut them. They may not taste great to your dog, however!

they are supposed to have something in them that heals and protects the dog's teeth & gums. My dog hadsome dental surgery and I thought these were a good preventive idea. BuT....she won't eat them. She backs away and ifI leave them in her dish she takes them out and buries them

I don't recall, but.i do know my beagle would eat them out of my hand like a treat. You can also break it up with a pill crusher and hide it in the food.

My 11-year old lab mix thinks the hard pills are treats--I call her for a "treat," put her on a sit and throw one up in front of her and she catches it in the air and eats it, looking for more after finishing. She will also eat it when I just put it in the bowl with her dry food. My 14-year old papillon, who has bad teeth and weighs only 8 pounds, will eat a half pill only when we put peanut butter on it. I have never tried the soft ones, but perhaps my little pap would prefer those.

I haven't actually taste them, so I can't attest to flavor, but dog #1 who takes them doesn't need them to be 'hidden', so I doubt they are bitter. Dog #2 has her's dressed with a dab of butter, and she doesn't object to eating them that way. Neither one spits them out (but I do put them in their food bowls with their breakfast rather than trying to feed them to them independently of a meal.)

as I kid it was my job to give my dog her daily heartworm pills (1980-1988) so I'm a pro at giving pills. You just pinch the jaws at the joint and put the pill far back on their tongue, then hold the mouth shut so they don't have a choice. give that a try

I have not tried to chew them and I am waiting for my next bottle. When I get it, I will try and let you know. Of any pill I have taken, they are very easy to swallow. You prob could cut them in half and that would make it easier to take. They are similar to a football in shape, oval.

I include the DGP pills in Willie's treat bowl along with cut up apples and carrots and add a dab of peanut butter on top of the pills. I would think adding them to moist dog food would work just fine. I always check to make sure he has taken the pills. They actually smell good - so never have had him spit them out.
