now you can give your dog a pill (and then a bone)
August 29, 2008
Convincing my dog, Henry that taking a glucosamine and chondroitin tablet will be beneficial to his health was really futile. Upon my vet’s recommendation, I was to give my labs, Henry and Jess pills to promote flexible joints and seeing as labs are notorious for having hip dysplasia, I obliged. I searched for supplements that would be easy for them to eat - powder, perhaps? I found gel caps and time-release ones but no powder. I finally tried GNC and they had tablets but they also had something called a tablet splitter or crusher. For $5.99 you can split a pill in half or crush it completely. Place the pill in the top half to cut in half (watch out for the open razor). Unscrew the top half, put the pill in and screw it back on for crushing. Storage is in the bottom.
After extensive testing in Henry’s Lab, we found this to be a fantastic product (just don’t let the kids get a hold of it because of the razor). it even has a chamber to store the tablets if you need to take them on vacation. An excellent product with a great price and widely available.
