chewable versus regular?

My beagle loves the chewable. I do break it in half. She has no problem with pills, but enjoys this as her final treat each night. They made a huge difference in keeping her liver test numbers under control. They were rapidly rising before we started the Denamrin and now leveled off and stayed steady.

My Sophie is very suspicious of "pills". Therefore I coat the pill with peanut butter, and she chews it down eagerly.

My dog threw up with chewables but had no problems with the regular tablets. I read a lot on line about both. Both work. It seems to be a per dog preference. Noticed more small dogs seemed to have difficulty with the chewable which are large (almost quarter sized) and have a strong odor like valerian root.

I do NOT recommend the chewable! It stinks and our Schnauzer will not even eat it. We have tried everything to camouflage it. He is a good eater by the way. You are wasting your money on chewable. The smell is disgusting! I am going back to the pill. Hope this helps.

I get the chewable. at first, my dog would eat thosewithout mixing them with anything. However she did quit accepting them after a while. So now I cross them and mix them in with her breakfast food. although technically they aren't supposed to be taken with food, it's the only way I can get her to eat them and my vet said it was okay, better than her not getting them at all.the chewable are larger in size than the regular tablets, but much easier to crush. I use a mortar and pestle, just in case you can't get your dog to chew them

I have found it difficult to get either into my dog, but I think I'd go with regular. If you have a large dog (mine is 65lbs), the regular pill is so big that it is hard to hide in food and difficult to force them to take. Similarly, the chewable is not tasty, so my dog won't take it voluntarily, and it's so smelly that you can't hide it in food either, and again, it's a lot of pill to hide (does is 2 1/2/ tables for mine). So, since both are hard to get them to take, it's easier to hide/ force 1 pill that 2+. But I really wish they'd find a way to make these smaller.

My dog disliked the taste of the chewables. He would reluctantly eat them with lots of encouragement from me. He does like pill pockets though so I find it better to just give him pills. Also, the chewables produce a fine powder particulate that is very irritating to the mucous membranes. Whenever I forgot to hold my breath as I inverted the bottle, the powder would make me cough and eyes water. But I have read that some dogs like the taste so I think it is dog dependant.

more crunchy than chewy--much like what you get at the movies. We like to sprinkle parmesan cheese on ours and don't care much for a lot of butter.

As long as the bottle says, "chewable", they are. My dog likes the taste. However, he's a huge boy and I think he swallows them whole most of the time. I still only buy the chewable because he will not swallow the capsules without them being hidden in food. I've researched Denosyl and found that it is most effective when given an hour before eating in the morning. That means that a sleepy owner (Me) had to get it down a sleepy dog. The chewable is 1000 times easier to do at that hour. I will also add that my dog takes Rimadyl and Denosyl took his liver enzymes from very high to normal in about 3 weeks, so its been well worth the investment and effort.

There not soft and very chewable. There more of a treat than a chew though.

Yes, they have reduced the newt weight of the package. With that said, they are still worth the price. If you have a small dog, be sure to get the normal size chew, not the " Big Boys ". They are a thinner slice and easier to chew. I cut the larger pieces in half. Side note, remember what goes in orange comes out orange, so don't be alarmed. Introduce slowly, the high fibre has it's affect.

I haven't found anything like them. My dog loves these. They can sometimes be a bit hard to find. Nylabone Healthy Edibles are long lasting chews my dog enjoys, but they are still rawhide and because I have to watch my dog's weight, I don't buy them nearly as often as Dreambones.

I don't recall buying but now use Trifexis. My dog is 1/2 wolf so didn't have any problems chewing,

This is probably better for AFTER the teething stage. It works better as a 'buddy' for my dog than as a chewy.

The Cosequin DS Chewables Plus are kind of hard, I break one tablet in two and just give my dog one half because he is only 53 pounds. Otherwise, the whole chewable dosage would be a little too much. I normally shop at Dr. Foster and Smith for my dog's vitamins. You can contact your local Veterinarian and ask what kind of chewable tablet is best for your dog. Take care.

They are not as hard as many dog treats are, but they do require the ability to be able to chew, unless you do what I do for one of my senior dogs. I let the treat stand in hot water for about 1 minute, and then he is able to readily eat the treat.

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

They are kinda easy to chew, I would think they would have the same nutrition as soaked. They do get stuck in your teeth though.

Yes, they are meant to be chewed. The last batch we bought did have a bit of a fishy taste to them, but it's not unbearable. We just ordered a new batch, so we'll see how they are.

They are not chewables, per say. They are meant to be swallowed. But they do start dissolving in your mouth pretty quickly if you really couldn't swallow them.

Very similar on chewing, but these stick more in your teeth as they are not as rubbery as others I have consumed. They break down more in your mouth.

My kids have been taking these for years. They are definitely completely chewable. They are different than a typical chewable for sure. But they chew the whole thing up and swallow it with no problem. My picky child says they taste a little fishy but not too bad.
