Do not remove tablet from foil wrapper until you are ready to give it to your dog. Offer to the dog as a treat by hand or in a small amount of dog food. The chewable should be administered in a manner that encourages chewing, rather than swallowing whole. Make sure entire chewable is consumed.Missed DosesGive the dose as soon as you remember, unless it is time for the next dose. Do not double dose.
