How to Use

Tablets are designed to be given whole or can be crushed and mixed with food, depending on the pet’s preference and species. Most small pets readily accept the natural molasses flavor. Tablets can be administered directly in the mouth, crushed and mixed into pellets or hay, or offered as a treat. Consistent daily administration is important for optimal urinary health benefits; cranberry effectiveness requires 12–24 weeks of continuous use for maximum benefit.
