Tablet please
I'm thankful Chewy carries this RX although I would really like to get it in a tablet form. My dog only requires 75mg daily so I currently have to empty every capsule and try to estimate what 1/4 of a capsule looks like. I'm concerned I'm not giving her the correct amount. I love Chewy! ❤️
Capsule Too large
Would love a smaller capsule. Hard to administer.
Please make this in a 150 mg dose
Please make this is a 150 mg dose for dog, as this med is hard to find and I like using chewy.
Smaller Dosage
I, too, would like to put in a request for a smaller dose. I need 150mg and currently have to pay a premium to a compound pharmacy. Would rather order through Chewy. Thank you for your time.
Hoping For Smaller Dosage
Adding my request for a smaller dosage of this medication. My fur baby needs a 75mg dose and capsules are very difficult to work with. Please consider our requests for tablets and smaller mg dosages.
Too large a dose
I also need this a smaller dose, 60mg and am having to pay extra to have it compounded to a smaller dose. It would be helpful and more beneficial if you could buy it this way.
Still waiting for a lower dose tablet form instead of capsule
I love Chewy and wish I could just transfer my entire prescription list here. But for this medication my fur baby needs 50 mg...so 300mg in a powder capsule form isn't gonna cut it. Let's get the splittable tablet form in already Chewy, that would be great!
Need tablets
I also wish this came in tablet form. My dog currently gets a 250mg tablet from our vet and he only gets 1/2 tablet daily.
So Glad You Carry This Medication
A few months ago I left a one star review for this product, because it did not come in a tablet form in order to divide it to get to the 75 mg that my dog needs. Someone from Chewy called me less than an hour later to personally tell me they were working on getting more options for this drug. That is great customer service, and I feel confident and hopeful that they will have it as soon as they can get it. It would certainly make my life easier, because I am currently having to have it custom made at a compounding pharmacy.
This is not a practical type of pill
This medication also comes in tablet form which is needed for any smaller dog since it is often prescribed as 1/2 or 1/4 tablets dosages. Obviously, cannot cut a capsule. Chewy- please get the tablet version of this medication! Thank you.
