VETRISCIENCERenal Essentials Kidney Health and Function Support for Dogs, 60 Chewable Tablets - Easy to Give, Supports Kidney and Liver Function in Dogs

The pills are large but my dog likes the taste (and if your dog us picky put peanut butter on them they should take it fine)They work really well, My vet says my dogs kidneys and blood levels are so good now that we can change getting blood work done every 6 months to once a year nowI’ll definitely buy them again

These are not small nor do they smell good. My dog would not eat them out of my hand or in a pill pocket. But I just smash it up and mix it in with his food and he eats. Now for their purpose, my dog was diagnosed in dec with stage 2 kidney disease creatine was 2.0 and Bun was high 40s. We decided to give them the holidays to eat as he wanted and then we would flip to kidney friendly diet and supplements. In Jan we started with royal canine renal dry F mixed with 1/4 can of Royal Canine wet D. With it he gets this supplement and coenzyme q10 from vetri science. We did level check about a week ago his creatine dropped to 1.1 and BUN was 25. So much better thee vet was extremely impressed. These work they my not bee small or smell good but they help any dog battling kidney problems.

The pills in this bottle are ridiculously, absurdly huge. They are called "chewable," but don't believe it. I have occasionally bought various companies' "chewable" pills for the dogs I've had over many years, and I have never yet had any dog ever actually chew or eat a so-called "chewable" pill.These pills in particular are the absolutely largest "chewable" pills I have ever seen. They are gigantic. Even if broken up into quarters, the quarters are still too large to give to a dog like a normal pill. The ONLY way I can give my dog the 1-1/2 Vetriscience Renal Essentials pills she is supposed to take is to use a pill splitter and divide 1 pill into 8 pieces. So for her to take 1-1/2 pills, I have to give her 12 SEPARATE pills (each of them being 1/8 of a tablet). It is ridiculous! It's stressful for her and a pain for both of us.So I then tried griding up these enormous pills in a mortar and pestle. They grind easily into a fine powder, but the powder stinks and when I mix it with my dog's favorite treats (like beef or chicken baby food puree), my dog absolutely refuses to touch it. I don't blame her, as it smells terrible.Here's a note to this company: Please put your products into a manageable size of CAPSULE or PILL (that is NON CHEWABLE) so that dog owners can simply administer a normal pill to their dogs. I've never had a dog I couldn't give a pill to. Dogs are good pill takers! But when it comes to "chewable" pills, they are a hoax -- they just do not work. And these pills in particular are absurdly large and smell so bad. It's no wonder my dog refuses to have anything to do with them.

Holy crap these pills are huge.How am I supposed to get my dog to eat this? It's too big to disguise within anything.What an absolute ripoff. These are useless to me.And they aren't chewable, there is nothing about their flavor, or smell that would make your dog want to eat these.DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!There has to be a better made brand, that are smaller and easier to give to your dog.

Recommended by our vet instead of a very expensive prescription med. Bishon's are susceptible to kidney issues and along with his prescription food, we have a healthy pup.
