I want to give this to my dogs, but the directions say to let them dissolve under the tongue. Can I just put them in their food?

That's what I have been doing. My dog is only 8 pounds so I have started to her off on 1 pellet each day to be safe

I hate when I can't given even a semi-informative answer. Years ago, I ordered a product that I could get only from the Czech Republic. It was for my dog, but I did human tests on myself first, hoping to learn whether or not it might hurt the canine. I'm sure the cataract care wouldn't hurt your dog, and, as our fine furry friends aren't eager to follow package direction, I think I'd try putting in his food. I hope the best for both of you!

I used it without much success. I would take a dropperfull and shoot it into the back of his throat. Still needed the surgery

I put it in their mouth and hold the mouth shut until it disolves. Under the tongue has never worked for me with a dog. I would see if you can find the liquid or you can make liquid tinctures out of these pellets. Just google how to do it.

Don't touch them with your fingers. Put a pill on a clean spoon and slide it down as close as possible to under the tongue from the side of the mouth for it to be as effective as possible. Some eye drops may be more effective.

I include the DGP pills in Willie's treat bowl along with cut up apples and carrots and add a dab of peanut butter on top of the pills. I would think adding them to moist dog food would work just fine. I always check to make sure he has taken the pills. They actually smell good - so never have had him spit them out.

Hi Fran..I do not see why not, I just put it in my dogs food and it seems to really help. Solid Gold is an excellent brand.

I am not sure. I'd check with the vet or specialty pet food store. I can say that when I put this on their food they did not eat it either. I have to twist or cut open the caps and squeeze them into their mouths. Works fine with mine. My boy was suggested to take this for heart issues and joint issues by our cardiologist.

Yes, you can easily open the capsule, and sprinkle on food. That's exactly what I do. So, if you want to divide the probiotics, it's a convenient way to control the dosage. My dog doesn't even detect it in his food. I highly recommend, and hope this helps!

Depends on how much you add to the dogs food each time. I was hydrating some in a glass jar, kept in the refrigerator and then mixing in about 3 tablespoons in each meal. Neither of my dogs cared for it much.

I have never tested this. I have heard that a piece of a hot dog will dissolve overnight in a glass of Coca-Cola, and these are the same material that is used for most over the counter capsules and are designed to dissolve in the stomach. I would think that any mildly acidic solution would dissolve them, possible even pure water. Use a capsule of something you have bought at the drug store and test it out. I think these use the animal based material instead of the vegetable based.

I give them to my 8 pound 7 month old Shih Tzu. Sometimes he eats the whole thing, but I usually take it away after an hour of chewing or so. if it looks too used I throw it away, otherwise he gets it again another day.

You give it orally - and it has to be measured VERY carefully. I bought empty syringes with no needles and used one of them to poke a hole in the bottle. That part was a little hard. you give 1/10 of 1 cc per 10 pounds of dog. my 97p\lb dog got a full cc. my 48 pd dog got 5/10 ( round up) my 88 ld dog got 9/10. They HATE the taste and would not eat a hot dog injected with it so what I would do is shoot it deep in their throats and then, real quick, stick half a hot dog in their mouths to wash it down with.

I would mix it gradually. My Westie pup is very sensitive to new food; so, we always go slow and mix small amounts.

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.

It is a small, round, chalky-type pill, so it would probably dissolve. I just swallow it. It's not listed as a 'dissolve under your tongue' pill.

I gave them to my German Shepard mix, no problem. I had originally bought them for my 3 lb chichuana but her teeth were to delicate to chew them. If they get too small you could remove them from dog but my German... Eats the whole thing.

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

I would not. It's best to put with your pet's food because it is flake consistency. I sprinkle it over my dogs dry food. If your pet is picky or a free feeder try mixing it in a small amount of wet food and giving it as a treat. Hope this helps.

You can divide it in small portions and freeze it. I do that for my small doxie.
