Exactly how small are the small caps? My cat has been very smart when using the "pill pockets" and will eat around it with the regular capsules.

Comparing them to human capsules, they are small. For a cat, however, they are not that small and I would think that if your cat is eating around other capsules, it could eat around these as well. These work best with a piller.

I rub the capsules on butter, so it's completely covered with butter, or you could use coconut oil, depending on which taste your cat prefers. This makes the capsule slippery to make sure it goes down easily, and doesn't get stuck in their throat. I place it in my cat's mouth, close her mouth and blow gently in her face and rub her throat. I hope this helps.

My cat bites when trying to give meds, so I open the caps, and mix them in his food--this IS allowable. It works just as well as putting it down their throats.

The "piller" that some refer to here looks like a syringe with a split nipple on the end. They are available at most pet supply stores. Withdraw the plunger slightly to prepare the piller for use. Place pill between the split ends of the nipple. Place your middle finger and thumb on either side of your cats mouth from the back of its head. Squeeze and your cat will open its mouth. Insert syringe and depress plunger to expel the pill in the back of the cat's throat. Cats will swallow anything in the back of their throat. My cat is sometimes able to get her tongue in the way and spits the pill out. Repeat the process until you are successful.

They are capsules, so they are not tiny pills. Our cat could pick them out of pill pockets, so we just have to grab his scruff, pull back his head and pop a capsule into his throat. Then repeat. He used to fight, but now it's routine.

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.

The capsule is 5/8 inches long, just over 1/2 an inch. I don't know if my response is still online but I open the capsule and mix the powder with water. I give it to my cat in a small oral syringe that I get from my vet. If you have any other questions I will try to help, Lisa

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

I would say they are medium size. They are the soft ones though NOT the hard pill pockets. I really like these because they are very easy to insert pills. If you have a small dog, you can break them in half and give the dog 1/2 a pill pocket. The chicken flavor is probably the best (also recommended by my pets veterinarian) unless your dog is allergic to chicken. Your dog should take this pill pocket just like its a treat. I have found they work great and they are much better than the hard pill pockets, which I have found to be almost impossible to even get a pill into. I definitely would recommend this product :) I would say they are medium size. They are the soft ones though NOT the hard pill pockets. I really like these because they are very easy to insert pills.

i have no idea. ranger chews the tablets. capsules would never work with him because he is such a fussy eater. and only eats when he wants to. so i can put the tablets right in his mouth and he either swallows or chews them. but they go down easy. sorry i am not more help.

it's a capsule on the smallish side, at least compared to some other supplements.guessing, i'd say maybe slightly smaller than a tylenol-type but also slightly longer.

The higher the number, the smaller the cap. 0 is very large. 3 is small enough for a cat to swallow.

These are standard size capsule...not tiny but not extra large...however I really think they're a waste of money, and I have studied and researched nutritional supplements for 25 yrs. Hope that helps!

Probably small. My cat is 7.1 lbs but she could pull some of the tips off. So I kept replacing them. I finally just took her to vet. Maybe your cat isn't a sweet and sour spoild cat like mine. Good luck.

They are smaller than a standard pill. You take each pill with plenty of water and that's it. Regards,

Yes, that's right. This product supports renal function in both cats and dogs. The small caps are much smaller than the regular size caps and, thus, are far easier for a cat or small dog to swallow. Dosing instructions are: Up to 5 lbs: Give 1 capsule daily, 5-10 lbs: Give 2 capsules daily, Greater than 10 lbs: Give 3 capsules daily.

The one for pills is smaller. The capsules are way bigger. I buy the capsules and can usually get 3 servings from it as I have a little dog. I also break off a chunk as these are too big for my mini schnauzer

Yes, My cat will not eat her food if I sprinkle it on her food. She takes the pill just fine. If you are comfortable pilling you cat fell free too. The box says you can either sprinkle the capsules on food or pill you cat. It is effective either way.

Hi there, they are pretty much your average sized capsules. Very easy to swallow. So don't worry, they are not the size of horse pills or anything.

It is a real capsule, I pull it apart and dump in in the food bowl, then I tap the empty shell on the bowl too, I often get more out of it that way. My cats love it added to both their dry and wet food. I have one that is 15, one that is 13 and a 3 year old cat too. They all love the Cosequin.

The capsules are regular size not over sized, I have used for 20 months and they work well...

I don't know whether or not you could/should pop the whole capsule into a cat's mouth. I would be concerned that the cat would either easily spit it out or have trouble swallowing it or might choke on it. It is a large capsule. I have used Cosequin for years, for two of my cats, and I also sprinkle it on canned food and mix it in. Both cats eat the mixture well.
