XPRS Nutra Size 4 Empty Capsules - 1000 Count Small Clear Empty Gelatin Capsules - Pills DIY Capsule Filling - Fillable Pure Bovine Pill Gel Caps for Do-It-Yourself Supplements

I have to give my 6-lb cat split pills that taste very nasty. Partial pills have rough edges, making them harder to swallow and easier for her to spit out. The vet suggested putting them in a capsule and these size 4s are working great! The smooth texture means they go right down her throat and I’ve been able to get them in her on the first try. I can actually get pieces of 2 different pills in a single capsule. They open and close easily, so even while it’s a little fiddly to work with such small capsules, it’s really not hard to fill them. It’s sure a heck of a lot better than wrestling with a cat that doesn’t want to swallow a bad tasting pill!

My cat had to take new medicine & it was really upsetting her. I got the #5 size capsules, but they were a little too small to fit my cat's medicine dose from her vet. I then, ordered the size #4, & they were a perfect size to fit my cat's medicine with a bit of room to spare. The #5 & #4 look very similar in size, but if I had used the smaller #5 capsules, I would need to give my cat 2 capsules to fit her dose, & I didn't want to do that, so the #4 capsules are a perfect size!! My cat's favorite thing as a treat is cold salted butter. I know it's weird, but she loves butter more than anything. She only gets a little bit, stuck on a spoon, & she likes to lick it like a lollypop while it's still cold. The vet told me my cat's medicine would taste very bitter & that's when I thought of empty capsules, so that my cat doesn't have to taste the bitter pill. After crushing up her medicine dose & putting it inside the #4 capsule, I slice a very thin, small piece of butter, just enough to wrap it around the small #4 capsule. Then, once it is coated in a thin layer of butter, I tilt her head up a little, put the buttered capsule in her mouth & I hold her until she swallows the capsule with the butter on it. I always check her mouth, & make sure the capsule is gone. Since I have been doing this, she doesn't get so upset about taking her medicine. She will give me a mad look right before she swallows the capsule. Then, I let her lick the spoon that has a little left over butter on it. That's her favorite part & I think she knows she gets butter in exchange for taking her medicine. Once she is sure the butter is gone, she will want to eat breakfast or dinner, since she gets 2 doses every day. I believe the butter also helps her with occasional hairballs. Since it's slippery, it works better than that gooey stuff they sell for hairballs in cats. She really hates how that stuff tastes. I hope my cat knows I'm giving her the butter capsule because I am trying to make it a better experience for her, or not as bad, & also make it easier to swallow, & it tastes like butter, which she loves so much. I would highly recommend these gelatin capsules. The size #5 $9.99 & size #4 $6.99 was a big price difference, but I opted to keep the #5 capsules, just in case I need them for her, should her dose go down. I highly recommend this seller & these capsules are great for my cat. I know it makes it a better overall experience & I'm very happy these shipped out & arrived the next day!! Excellent seller & product!!

Bought these to hold some very bitter meds I was prescribed. Work fantastic. Easy to swallow and complete insulate the bad taste of my meds.

Very easy to use

Our cat takes 2 prescription tablets. One must be broken in half and the other into fourths. In order to make medication delivery easier, I bought these empty gel caps to fill with her two meds. Using a pet pill popper with them simplifies the process even further! She's gotten used to the process and the gel caps make it MUCH less stressful for everyone! They're a little fiddly to handle because they're small, so I work at a table over a towel. Using the colored gel caps makes them much more visible. These have no aroma or taste, so kitty doesn't mind taking them.

PET OWNERSCAUTION SIZE 4 FITS NOTHING!I ordered this to put Denamarin liver pills for pets up to 12lbs enteric coated tablets in. This size was suggested on many dog sites, I don't know what size pills they're giving but if you look at the photo my baby aspirin won't even fit crushed into the capsule.The liver supplement cannot be cut or crushed and the gel cap will not protect it from dissolving in the stomach so the gel cap is useless. The purpose was for ease of administering to the dog did not smell or taste the product.You CAN'T return the item so use caution when ordering sadly I now have to try and make my money back by reselling this product online somewhere.Product is packaged nicely delivered quickly nothing wrong with the product just the size of the product

Good seal and easy to fill. No taste or upset stomach. Great for custom supplements

These capsules are great! They make swallowing pills easier, finding the right pill, etc. The different color choices work to know which pill is selected. If a pill falls on the floor, it is also easier to spot than a small white pill.
