CapsulineSize 4 Empty Gelatin Capsules, Clear - 1000 Count | Gluten Free, Kosher, Non-GMO Certified | Pure Bovine Pill Caps For DIY Supplement Filling

Great for kids n pets, very small for easy swallowing!

Can't swallow big pills so I fill these up and they work just fine, very satisfied with them

I am using these empty gel capsules to give my elderly cat his nasty-tasting metronidazole pill, plus prednisone and cyproheptadine. These size 4 capsules are TINY (smaller than a dime; see Photo #1) and are hard to handle, but unfortunately, it's necessary because the pills need to be small for the cat.I'm able to get 1/2 of a 50mg metronidazole pill, plus EITHER 1/2 of a 5mg prednisone pill OR 1/2 of a 4mg cyproheptadine pill. I started out just putting the split pills into the capsule (left and right pills in Photo #2), but then decided to see if I could get all three meds in by crushing them all into a powder (center pill in Photo #2). I was able to get MOST, but not all of the crushed 3-pill powder in the capsule. I did try tamping the powder down, but it didn't help much.If you try to put powder in these pills, be aware that it is very difficult. The openings are tiny, and the capsules are nearly transparent when they're empty, so they're hard to see. I made a little pill holder out of cardboard to hold the pills (Photo #3), although it isn't a great solution. You can see an empty capsule on the right, and a partially-filled one on the left. Photo #4 shows the tip of a ball point pen as a reference for the size of the opening.All in all, this was a good purchase, as my cat no longer foams at the mouth from the metronidazole. And since he's (relatively) happy, then I'm happy too. No issues with quality control on the batch that I received, bought in May 2022.

Happy with product. It is as described

My cat has to take several medications that taste awful and so these capsules are perfect for putting the tiny pieces of the different pills in each capsule so he only has to take one capsule with all the meds in it.

The media could not be loaded. I was very nervous and stressed out a month ago when my cat’s cardiologist told me that my kitty had to take 4 pills (2 in the morning and 2 at night) for the rest of her life… she is only 3 years old. 😞After watching “all” the videos that are in YouTube about giving pills to a cat and trying them, getting frustrated, stressing my kitty and myself.Getting broke by taking my kitty 2 times a day for a week to the vet for them to giver her the medication.And after trying everything posible, I was able to find the right combinations of things that now is so so so easy and actually my Penélope let me know when is time for her treat (pills) 🤩I never thought that I was going to be able to do this by myself and stress free!!!I bough gelatin capsules (size 4), I put the pills inside of the capsule and then I put it at the end of the pill popper, I cover the end of the capsule that is sticking out with “Churu” (cat go crazy for it!). I do this twice and at the end she get to eat the rest of the “Churu”.All of these together are a game changer for Penélope and I. 😻I really hope I can help other people that are having hard time giving pills to their kitties with my video.

Honestly, it’s been like working in a fairy factory. It’s so hard to put any type of powder supplements into these capsules. Also because they’re so small you need to fill more capsules to get the same amount as a regular sized capsule. It’s a very difficult task.

These have been nothing but perfect so far in quality. They come partway coupled so you can easily get them apart (but plenty snug enough so they don't just come apart on their). When you close them after filling, there is a "click" or ridge that you can feel when the halves are totally together.I got these for the sake of pilling my cat without forcing the bitterness of the split caplets on him and to keep dosage accurate - the split pieces kept crumbling. Yes, it was generally easier for the small while we could just toss the caplet chunk alone in, but there's more of a choking risk and it was obvious the taste was awful, to say nothing of the crumbling. However, with the gel capsules it's not much more trouble, and even though it might take a second try sometimes, it's obviously less "traumatizing" on my cat - especially compared to any second attempts with the plain caplet. As a human, I can attest to gel capsules having an innocuous flavor, plus they get slicker with saliva, opposed to caplets which get chalkier and stickier. This is for an adult cat - for kitten, I think it'd be pretty rough.I'd have preferred to get a size 5 capsule, but I'm glad I didn't - the caplet doses would not have fit inside.I'll by these again when they run out but that'll be something like a couple years from now! Can't beat that value. My bag's expiration is January 2021, so no worries there either. Good luck, pet owners! It's a solid bet.
