The tablets are flavoured. If the dog does not accept the tablet from hand or bowl, then the tablets may be mixed with a small amount of food offered prior to the main meal, or administered directly into the mouth after feeding.
Instruction on how to divide the tablet: Put the tablet on an even surface, with its scored side facing down (convex face up). With the tip of the forefinger, exert slight vertical pressure on the middle of the tablet to break it along its width into halves. Then, in order to obtain quarters, exert slight pressure on the middle of one half with the forefinger to break it into two parts.
