Is the tablet size large enough to fit two pills--a small and medium sized tablet wrapped togther? Would capsule size be better?

Yes, I guess it should be big enough. Although I've never done it that way. I like to break the pill pocket into small piece and wrap the pills individually

I bought these canine pill pockets and put a pill in it my dog took it and thought she ate it but found it behind my sofa a few days later

I can fit 2 pills in it, but my pills are small. They are 1/4 inch in diameter. The pill pockets are moldable, so if the pills stick out a little, you can squeeze the pockets around the pills. You may be better with the capsule size. My dog has to take 2 pills twice a day, so i needed the ones with the least amount of calories. Otherwise I would have gotten the capsule size just to make it a little easier.

Capsule size would probably be better, just to make sure there's no bleed-through if the taste of the pills is yucky. If you search, you can find a recipe to make something similar at home using peanut butter, a bit of flour, and some water or milk to moisten the mixture.

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.

It's not bigger than regular capsules. I have a hard time swallowing big pills too and I never had a hard time with these.

I would say NO. those pills are too big and the compartment too small to accommodate 9-10 pills. try the 7 Day 2 Compartment.

Average capsule size. Like the size of a tylenol capsule. If they are not time release then opening capsule could be an option.

I use a pill cutter on mine all the time--true, it doesn't get them exactly even but since I end up taking both halfs anyway and since I know a full tablet would not be too much to take at one time, I don't worry about it. Been doing it for years with no apparent problems so far. However, I am not only NOT a doctor but I don't even play one on TV so take that into consideration, please.

The tablet is smaller than the capsule pocket. I gestimate the capsule is about 3/4-1" in size.

They are tablets, but fairly large. About 3/4 inch long, 1/4 inch wide, and 1/8 inch high. But, also not too difficult to swallow if they go down the long way. Bottom line, I have seem some capsules just as large.

I find the size to be quite acceptable. If you find it to be too large then cut it in half using a pill splitter which you can buy at any drug store. Take one half then the other. If you have ever taken Centrum Silver you will find that pill to be much larger than the Nature Made.

My mother takes nine pills /capsules in the morning,4 of them are pretty good size and they all fit with room it spare.it would really depend on what your medication size is.I would highly recommend this unit.

I can't imagine there is a pill or vitamin out there that would not fit in one of the individual compartments...you just might not be able to fit as many in there. Capsule type pills fit but you're definitely going to be limited in how many can go in at a time and they do not dispense as easily.

The capsule pocket is much larger and more practical. If yo have to give your dog multiple pills sometimes you can put more than one in the capsule size. You can only fit very small pills into the tablet pocket.

It is a caplet 2 mm x 1 mm or 7/8 x 3/8 inches. There is a score in the center if you needed to break it in order to swallow. I have trouble with large pills myself, but no problem swallowing these 2 daily pills one at a time.

The capsules are about 3/4 " long by less than A quarter inch thick. But if you have trouble swallowing large pills you could place it in a spoonful of pudding!!

One of my pills measures 1" x .5": this fits along with 4 or 5 other pills of varying size in one compartment. Hope this helps.

They are medium size but u can break open capsules and put the medicine in a drink. Crush big pills and do the same thing.

Hi Felix- The tablets are oval shaped approx. 1/2'' x 1/4. I don't know about capsules. P.S. I think the circles have been discontinued and the oval is the new shape, so perhaps you could receive either.
