Can the dog swallow the capsule whole or are you supposed to open the capsule and mix it with food?

I give it to my dog in a Greenie's Pill Pocket, which works great. My dog loves her pill pockets and will eat any pill in it.

I open the capsule and sprinkle it over the food he loves the taste and eats it right up!

You can do either,but we just pull open the capsule and sprinkle it on the food.

I have 3, and one of them is very picky. So, for her, I mix it one pill in with her soft food and it's fine. My two larger dogs, eat them as treats. When I shake the bottle, they come running :-)

Its in powder form. You can mix it with their soft food. If you don't feed soft food, you can try mixing it with salmon oil. That's what I did for my dogs and they licked it all up.

They are in a tablet but need to fed in a pill pocket or treat of some sort. Dogs won't just eat them out of your hand. They are small and its not hard to disguise them!

It's a large capsule but you can bite or cut it open & put it over the food. Then mix. Bon appetite!

Our dog ate it up when we put it on food. If you give it to them straight, recommend using a syringe (like the one used to give small children cough medicine).

Hi, I do not swallow the capsules. I open the capsules and mix the curcumin powder from the capsules in some whole milk and I drink with a straw. Delicious. This way it gets absorbed immediately into your blood stream. :-)

Truthfully, I have no idea. However, the chewable tablets are easy to give to the dogs. We just put the 2 tablets in their feed (dry food mixed with a bit of wet dog food) and they just eat them right up.

the pills are for certain poundage on the dogs, so only give what it says on the pills. you can mix it with any kind of food but put a little vegetable oil in with it for intestinal lubrication.

My dog eats the chew like a bone with both paws holding down the chew on one side while taking a bite from the other. I bet you break up the chew and give it to your dogs so they try to wolf it down to get another piece. Give them one chew each

A capsule. You can either swallow the capsule whole or sprinkle it on to some food (I prefer a banana slice).

What we received were capsules. We would just put them in a pill pocket treat and feed them to the dog.

You can absolutely inject it into food. From what I have read, ivermectin is very very bitter, so that is why most people do not mix it in food. I do not use it as an injectable; nor did my veterinarian recommend it this way. What I do is just open my Doberman's mouth really wide, then I squirt the ivermectin way in the back of her throat. Then I give her a yummy treat right after. Hope this helps!

My cats won't eat it if it's mixed in to their food, so I give them the entire pill. Open mouth, poke pill over the back of the tongue (this is critical--get it over the hump!), and they swallow it just fine. If I don't get it all the way back, they spit it out and we try again later, but that has only happened a few times. They don't mind if I give it to them prior to being fed in the morning--they are more focused on getting their food. The benefits definitely outweigh the slight hassle of pilling them!

It depends on your dog, I got it for my German Shepherd, who is 125 lbs. I don't think he would swallow it, it is about the size of a lemon. The worst thing about it is the toxic smell, I just picked it up again and the smell has dissipated somewhat since I got it, but it worries me to give my dog something that smells like chemicals, so I didn't give it to him.

No you don't have to mix it. But when you first start feeding it to them be sure to follow the instructions and introduce it slowly. This food is great. I ran out of it recently and feed the dogs a well known brand for a few days until I could get the Taste of the Wild after the first day my Poodle Terrier broke out in hot spots in several places. I immediately put her back on the Taste and the hot spots cleared up within three days.

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.
