Yes, you're right. Some people open those capsules into the food, so it wasn't that. I can't imagine the lack of moisture mattered, either. Olesia actually did her science thing, to come up with the amount to put into the capsules, and that's what I did. The cheese, though, may be interesting. I cou...

Last night I filled 4 capsules (00 enteric coated) 3/4 full, to supplement 2 cups grain-free kibble. I gave Nina a tiny piece of cheese, then wrapped two capsules in a small piece of cheese & put it in the back of her throat, then closed her jaw. I was concerned that I could see her chomping dow...

Thank you, Olesia!

Well, the two capsules I described, enteric coated size 00, each filled 3/4 full, have the same effect as one teaspoon of enzymes.

Does that help, for starters?

THAT's the conondrum! I can just rudely hold all my dogs' mouths open & stick a butter-covered pill in the back of their throat, but I'm not so sure about Nina, and I am so pleased by how well she's doing, I don't want to mess up. SO I'm hoping that someone who has done this successfully ( on di...

Andrea, I have read on a note from Olesia, that two 00 enteric coated capsules, filled 3/4 full, are enough to treat one cup of kibble. So those two capsules have the same effect as one teaspoon of enzymes added to the kibble & incubated. Myself, I am trying to find out if it's ok to add them to...

Nina LOVES ice cubes! She Wuuuuuvs dem!!!! I feel so lucky. Yesterday I only gave her a treat coated in enzymes, two or three times at her crate entry time. WHEW!---P

How do you administer the pills?

I always place the capsules containing SE and B12 right in with the food. BUT I am wondering, if I do that with the enzymes, might she puncture the enteric-coated capsules & nullify the effect?

Can we talk about enteric-coated capsules for enzymes again? I'm guessing I'll need to take care that the capsules are not punctured before they go down the gullet, right? So, including them with the meal, or putting them in a pill pocket is too risky, correct? I have always been able to coat pills ...

I will do that. I have only been giving her slippery elm in the evening. What do you think about adding it in the morning, too?---P
