What are the size of the capsules? Since caps can't be opened / sprinkled (would be ruined), need to know if I can "pill" my pets with these.

The capsules are small. I would NOT foresee a problem in placing in back of pet's mouth (then rubbing throat until they swallow). On the other hand, why have you assumed the capsules cannot be opened? Probiotics now come in various forms, with some that need refrigeration, some that require avoidance of air, and some that are more easily handled. This probiotic does NOT need refrigeration. The capsules can be opened and sprinkled or mixed into the food, which is what I do with my dog. It's made a noticeable positive difference in his digestive health, resulting in firmer stool (formed and easy to pick up, but soft enough for the pet to pass without difficulty).

Proviables are capsules that you can easily twist and separate. They are made to be opened and sprinkled. You could do it (pill your pet) but these are pretty big for a cat.

The capsules are small, about a half inch long and narrow - but they CAN be opened and apparently are made to. They open with a twist (if your fingers are dry!) and sprinkle easily in a soft powder that stirs right into wet food.

The capsules are easily opened and then I sprinkle the powder onto their wet food and mix up. It works great for my cats!

I open them up and mix them with a little bit of water. (Mixes best if you add powder to water, rather than water to powder. I use a 3cc syringe (no needle on it.) I used to get my cat every evening and hold him while I opened his mouth and squirted it down his throat, and then one day he just grabbed the thing and licked it all up by himself. Now he insists on it every night. Loves the taste, and have had very few flareups of his his IBS or pancreatitis. Tastes so good to them that I have actually used it to add to more yucky medicines to make them more palatable for the animals.

Size is about 5/8" long BUT you can open the capsule and sprinkle the ingredients on the pets food. I imagine you could give him or her the pill most capsules are made of desolving gelatin they just appear like plastic. Hope this helps get some and sprinkle it on they will love it!!!

I open the capsules and sprinkled on my cat's food. It is much easier than trying to get a capsule down her throat.

The instructions say to open the capsules and sprinkle on their food. Apparently it's vey tasty. My dogs seems to love them.

They are fairly big size capsules. They seem to work the best. I tried some others, and they didn't work good like these.

The capsules are human size, and cant really be popped in the mouth - or good luck trying. I sprinkle it on the food and mix it in. My sometimes finicky cat does not seem to notice that its even there.

The pills were easy to swallow capsules. They weren't large. I would say they are average size capsules. Hope this helps.

No, they are a capsule and not that big--hope they work for you as they didn't help my sister or me. Good Luck!!

Don't think so. I have them in a canister in a cool dark corner of the kitchen. They are fine and great for the purpose, which for me is administering dog meds which are small pills that can be combined in the capsule, less chance of spitting 'em out.

They are about the size of your multi-vitamin that comes in a capsule. So bigger but not a "horse" pill. I have troubles swallowing big pills and I haven't had a problem with these ones.

Not big at all! Just a normal capsule size, I take them everyday with no problem.

They are not large. They are the regular capsule size. I take 2 at a time and have no problem swallowing them.

The last time we ordered them they came in a "new smaller capsule" that was really tiny. I'm out of them right now or I'd measure for you. They are not chewable. I don't know if they could be opened up and added to liquids.

not sure, but I think they come in two sizes, medium and large. it isn't the size of the dog, but the size of the pill that is the measure. My dog takes a fairly large "flea" pill monthly, so I get the larger size. The pill pockets are soft (if you keep package closed - otherwise, they tend to dry out) and you mold it around the pill, so no matter the size, the dog will chew and swallow, the nice flavor masks any taste of the pill if Dog happens to bite into it.

The capsules are a little smaller than the regular Tylenol. We actually take it apart and sprinkle the powder over food. It works well that way. Otherwise my cat won't take the capsules. Hope this helps.

Hi Carleton. Thanks for your question. The capsules are not that big and they are easy enough to swallow. The capsules are about the same size as a Tylenol pill. Any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. Riley - Sano Customer Services

There 0 size capsules I believe, there pretty easy to swallow. If you Google "capsule size chart" you can see what 0 size capsules look like.

capsule is larger and will accommodate either capsule or larger pill. I use capsule to divide between sm dog capsule and another dog's two 1/2 pills. The capsule size is significantly softer and easier to mold/wrap.

I can't guarantee that, but I would bet on it. Our dogs love them. The capsules are big enough to half or quarter. I highly recommend them

They are not capsules. They are caplets, basically just an oblong standard pill. Not that large, even. Easily split if you desire. Now, can you mark my review as HELPFUL, please? Thanks.
