Has anyone tried the tablets instead of these chewables? Wondering if they were palatable to your dog, perhaps if ground up &amp; added with food?

I have purchased both. Tablets r cheaper but my one dog had no problem eating either...he is not fussy. On the other hand, my other dog would not eat neither. I tried breaking up and putting inside food like a pill but spit out. Not sure if this helps.

I would say they have pretty close consistency to other brands--they still taste better. I have gotten used to automatically chewing glucose tabs so as not to run the risk of choking in case of falling asleep. Maybe liquid or gel glucose could be another consideration?

I think these treats would be difficult for her to chew.They are hard and she needs something soft.If you're looking for something soft try Wellness Wellbites.They come in different flavors and my dog likes them very much.Good luck!

The tablets are about the size of an aspirin or a little bigger, but they are not smooth or slick, and they start to dissolve quickly. They could be easily crushed and mixed with something. They do have a vitamin flavor, but that could maybe work. If she doesn't have a problem with the taste of them, chewing might be okay for a while. Best of luck!

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 used to give my dog the tablet and he ate them just fine. I didn't have to ground it up give with food. He liked the taste.

Appear to! No problems in palatability- additionally helpful is the size - not overly big - of course depending on the breed of dog you are administering this to. This was purchased for a Labrador. Hope this helps!

They are capsules, not chewable. I open them up and mix it with my dogs food. Only Natural Pet has a good chewable probiotic you might want to try, go to Onlynaturalpet.com

I've noticed that they are firmer, yes, but my dog has no trouble chewing them up. Like the one previous answer, we too put just a small amount in a jar with a lid and open the bag only when the jar is empty. I have noticed that the treats will dry out if left open to the air for awhile. Because of my dog's food allergies, they are the only treat he can digest on the market right now so as long as he eats them, I have no complaints. He loves them.

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.

My lab won't eat the pills either. I make a big deal out of the chews like they are an after meal treat. I cut them into pieces (x8) and feed them to her which she loves. When I first got them for her I crumbled one onto her food (can + dry) like Parmesan cheese on spaghetti. Maybe you can buy some samples from your vet to see what your dog thinks before you buy a whole bag...my dog is 14 and still walks 1-2 miles with me at a slow pace.

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 "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....

They seem to work a little better than the regular Phycox. I have a lab with arthritis resulting from a leg injury and I give her 3 chewables a day (she weighs around 80 pounds).

The tablets are chewable but if your dog is like mine he/she wont just chew it. I put it in ice cream or either stick it in the back of my dogs mouth or throat and then hold her nose closed and slightly blow in her face for a few seconds so she will swallow it.

They're actually small, less than an inch. I have a bigger dog that I give it to her before I feed her twice a day and she swallows it without even chewing. No issue with size or taste from her!

The order I bought from Amazon was the tablets. Our dog has been using tablets only for four years since she blew her ACL. We break the large tablets into 4 pieces each and mix with her food because she would eat around the whole tablet. Once they are ingested, no problems with absorption.

They are not chewable....I've changed to Piping Rock vitamins (available on line from Piping Rock Vitamin site)...I've never purchased chewables. All I have gotten are either gel or powder inside. Have you done a search on line with "chewable" in the search line? Sorry I can't be more helpful.
