Has anyone tried the tablets instead of these chewables? Wondering if they were palatable to your dog, perhaps if ground up & 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 tried the tablets with my american bulldog, they were not her favorite although with some coaxing (peanut butter and pretending it was a treat it still took a while to get her to actually eat them) she would get them down. The soft chews are just so much easier for me, as she views them as a treat I never have to put in any effort to make sure she eats them.

My two rotties would eat the tablets without breaking them up or if I broke them in half and put it in their food but they definitely like the soft chews better!

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.

I have tried the pills because they were cheaper and attempted to grind them up to mix with food because my dog wouldn't eat them whole anymore, and it just goes to the bottom of the bowl after they stir it around a bit and doesn't get eaten. These are the ones she likes and it's not a chore to give them to her. she just eats them right down and I don't have to struggle with her to get her to take them.

My pug loves to eat them. My lab needs a bit of coaxing. But will eventually eat it. I have found a terrific way to get him to eat other pills that he refuses to eat. Stick it in a marshmallow.

My current dogs prefer the soft jerky/stick-style treats, they just don't like the crunchy biscuit kind, no matter what brand it is. I have had two dogs that liked the crunchy ones, but they were the kind of dog that would eat about anything anyway. I'd try the jerky/soft treats, my dogs have liked all the snack sticks from Newman's Own. (Give the ones your own dogs won't eat to your local shelter--there will surely be a dog there who would like them!)

Need to be swallowed...not chewable. I found a very good (much smaller) product by FINEST brand (Walgreen's brand) and you only need to take one a day and seems to do as good a job.....might want to give it a try if size is the problem.

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?

Chris, where did you read that? It would be helpful to know so that I can make an educated decision on whether to keep buying these for my dog. Thanks.

No, the tablets are not chewable. I slip a bit of peanut butter around the pill and that works for my dog. This supplement is to be taken on an empty stomach at least an hour before a meal. The directions specify that the tablet should not be crushed or split.

Yes, they are chewable and my dogs love them! My dogs think these are treats - I highly recommend!

These supplements are not soft and chewy. They are hard like a... sweet tart candy. These supplements are round and a little smaller than a quarter. They can be crushed into a powder. My dog can be a little picky but he loved these and ate them with no problem like they were treats.

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

Yes. I put them in the pouch to soften up my dog's chewy vitamins that started to dry out way too fast and they worked great. I was a worried that they would take on the flavor of the dog's stuff but they were OK. I suppose you could give it a try with the regular sugar, but something way back in my mind tells me because it is more granular, back in the day, they used to do something like break up regular sugar that had hardened into smaller pieces and then run it through some sort of grinder or another. I'd google for a few options before I opted for the sugar bears.

Not in my opinion. My dog is a 10 year old 40 pound border collie and they are fine for him. He doesn't like solid rawhide, so he won't eat the ones labeled for his size. They really do help his breath - better and much less expensive than Greenies. I also give him the small (5" long, 1/4" diameter) regular granulated munchy sticks and his teeth are in great shape!

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!

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.

You could chew them if you had to. They are in the form of a solid pill, but it would be possible to chew them up. Probably wouldn't taste great.

We had a 75 lb dog who we fed twice a day. We gave her one tablet with each meal. She didn't chew them so we put them inside a bit of wet dogfood and she gobbled right down. There is a chart on the box or bottle that recommends dosage depending on the size of your dog. I'd follow that.

These are not chewable. They are capsules. I use a different brand now, and they say that you can pull apart the capsules to stir the contents into food. I would not recommend water though due to possible bitter taste.
