I'd like to get this for my 22 pound JRT. It says "chewable". Are they soft enough to cut in half? I cannot find this bottle in for small dogs

They are not soft but you can break them in half. My dog will only eat them in peanut butter or mixed in her food or in pill pockets.

they are "scored", which means there is a line in the middle and you can break it in half, don't have to cut it. Our dogs are 3 and 14.5 and large dogs so we give them 1 2x/day. Your dog would probably do well with 1 tablet 2x/day if you break it in half.

Absolutely! The tablets come with a score mark down the center to make them easier to break in half. In fact, that is what we do for our small Westie. All the best with your JRT!

They are pretty big but they are scored so you could cut them in half, they aren't soft, kind of hard.. My German shepherd ate them okay at first but lately she licks the peanut butter off and leaves them behind.

I have 4 Golden Retrievers now. The two babies are 33lbs each and almost 4 months old. They are chewing the 'large' size, same as the 2 adult dogs. If it were me, I'd go for medium or large. I would not want them to have the ability to get the whole antler in their mouth. All 4 of my dogs LOVE them and they are virtually indestructible. I do not buy the 'split antlers' as I find they don't last as long and they splinter. Just my experience. Hope they work out for you. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

I think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

I have three 15# doxies and I cut these soft chews in half; giving each dog a half every day. You may need to cut in quarters for your 10# furbaby.

I see that someone contacted the company for the information on number of calories - I would only add that they are easily snapped in half if you want. The package recommendation is 1 a day for dogs up to 30 #'s but I give my 22 pounders a half of one and not every day.

Probably not but they make a mini version as well. They are chewy but my 50 lb dog loves those as well.

Yes, they are relatively soft. They're not like the rock hard mass produced ones we were buying before we found these. We have a very old Jack Russell and a middle aged Yorkie (who has had dental work for bad teeth) and they have no problem with them. The treats are in varying sizes, some quite large, but we cut them up into bite size pieces.

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).

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 would purchase the medium size which I do for my 15 lb schnauzer. There are a few chews in the pack which are large, but they are so hard I am unable to cut them. So I put them aside for a friend's boxer.I also never give my dog a chew unless I am able to keep an eye on her.

Not easy go split. They do average in size --I'd say from 3-5 inches long (few times 6+), but about 1-2 inches wide. They are hard, definitely couldn't be cut w/standard knife or scissors --- perhaps with a heavy duty power tool type of scissor or saw, but I wouldn't recommend it. My dog is less than 40lbs -- these are the ones he had at the rescue before we adopted him and I think they're perfect. He LOVES them and they keep him busy for up to 20 mins at a time. He only gets maybe 2-3 per week.

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.

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.

I have a treeing walker coonhound. He did not like the chewable pills and i had to cover them with canned dog food or break them into many pieces in his kibble. After the pill supply ran out, I tried the soft chews and he barks to get one, and instantly gobbles them.

My 10 year old Yorkie loves the standard pill and we use them as treats. I break them in half and we have not had a problem with him taking them. He was a little hesitant the first couple of times but would eat the whole bottle if he could now.

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
