XPRS Nutra Size 5 Empty Capsules - 100 Count Clear Very Small Empty Gelatin Capsules - Pills DIY Capsule Filling - Fillable Pill Gel Caps for Do-It-Yourself Vitamin Supplements

Update: The slightly larger size 4 capsules are even better! They are a hair larger than the size 5s but still tiny enough for a cat's mouth. Still using these capsules and love them!!! Attention all cat parents! These capsules are a lifesaver! My very feisty 5-year-old cat, Jumpy, was just diagnosed with heart disease (cardiomyopathy) & needs to take 1/4 tab each of Atenolol & Plavix (clopidogrel) every day. Having 7 cats, I'm a great piller! But forcing quartered pills down Jumpy's neck was a nightmare & a half. I was literally scratched, bleeding, & exhausted from trying to give these 2 little pills. When I would finally get him to take the pill, he would foam at the mouth, gag, & then throw it up. I looked into getting the meds compounded but it would cost me $120/month which was way out of the budget. I started mixing the Atenolol with water in an eye dropper, but you can't do that with the Plavix (per the manufacturer, I think because it is such a bitter-tasting pill & the water would make the taste worse). Jumpy doesn't like wet food or cat treats so I couldn't disguise the pills there. Desperate for another solution, I looked into these capsules. Believe me when I say that they are truly my saving grace. I ordered the size 5 & they are the perfect size for my very petite cat. I was worried that the capsule would be too big for a tiny cat mouth, but I promise you that the size 5 will work just fine. I put the 1/4 tab of Atenolol in the capsule first (tiny pill). Then I add the Plavix. The 1/4 tab of Plavix is just barely too big to fit, so I cut the 1/4 in half (1/8) & then put them in the capsule & close it. I make 1-2 weeks of the capsules at a time so that I don't have to do it each day. Armed with my large plastic eye dropper filled with water, I get Jumpy, put the capsule in his mouth, & then shoot some water down his throat to wash it down. The capsule can get a little sticky when wet (use dry hands!), so I want to make sure that it goes all the way down his throat & he doesn't choke. He can't taste the bitterness of the pill thanks to the capsule, so there is no foaming, gagging, or throwing up. These capsules make it so easy! I even tried a plain capsule myself to make sure would be okay for my cat. There was no taste & it dissolved pretty quickly. PLEASE do yourself a favor & get these if you have a cat like mine who doesn't like pills!

They are perfect for filling up powder medicine for my cat. Its small enough and easy to handle.

My cat's pills are split pieces with rough edges and can't be camouflaged into food. It's much easier to pill him with these capsules.

Work well to put medicine in. However, the last 2 packages have many half capsules so can't use. Missing the smaller piece of capsule. It also appears there's not 100 capsules in the package but I haven't counted

The only way I can get my cat to take Prozac! Life saver.

This is great for a tiny pill that tastes really bad. And my husband has difficulty swallowing it before it melts in his mouth. These are VERY small but perfect for his need. They actually snap together as well.

Love the size but some of the shells came crushed and we're unusable

These have been a lifesaver for giving medication to our beloved “geriatric” feline. Tiny 1/4 portions of pills, pills that tasted nasty and couldn’t be crushed into food, multiple pills at one sitting - all over. We put the tiny pill along with crushed larger ones into one gelatin capsule. They fit in the “pill shooter” and make the process so much easier! You can buy a little kit on Amazon that has a pill rack, tweezers, a compacting rod, etc that makes it even easier to fill the capsules. Best thing we ever did for this cat and us!!

I struggled to feed my kitten her flu med, saw a reddit post that recommended using this to put the med into the capsule. It worked, covered the capsule with treats and my kitten inhaled the treat along with the capsule.

I use these size 5 empty capsules to give my cat his heart medicine. The capsules are great quality and easy to use, but they’re too small to fit a 1/4 tablet unless it’s crushed. If you don’t want to crush the tablet, I recommend getting size 4 capsules instead.

Muy fáciles de manipular. El tamaño es pequeñito y en mi caso, perfecto para lo que lo necesito.

I got sealed but missing capsules. You cannot complain or return. Not worth it
