Baking dogie biscuits with glucosamine?
My dog really doesn’t like the glucosamine tablets I need to give him. He will not swallow them. I have even tried putting them back as far as they will go in his mouth and rubbing his throat, he gags them back up. He will find them if I hide them in cheese or ham. I bake my own dogie biscuits and am wondering if anyone knows if you can bake glucosamine safely or if it will change it’s composition. I want to put one pill in each cookie.

I use either liquid, or capsules which I can open and pour out, and I mix it with a can of Green Tripe, and my dogs have never shown any sign of even noticing it’s presence.
Try Zukes Hip Action, it’s a beefy treat with hip and joint supplements and the taste dogs love.
If you buy capsules, you can open them up and sprinkle the powder in his food. Otherwise it should be ok in the biscuits.
It might work but I don’t know anyone who has tried it.
If he won’t take pills then grind them up on his food & stir well, he wont be any the wiser & problem will be easily solved.
Why not get a tablet crusher and then sprinkle the crushed tablet on his food. Glucosamine is a food supplement so it will be fine taken like this. It works a treat for one of ours.
Not sure if that would work or not, but another suggestion (and what we do) is to buy liquid glucosamine. It’s actually supposed to be apsorbed better, and you can mix it with a bit of canned dog food. Good luck whatever you decide!
Snovi brand makes a chewable glucosamine supplement that our dog loves just as she was getting a treat. You might want to try that route.
Try Zukes Hip Action They’ve got glucosamine in them and my dog likes how they taste they’re basically treats with added glucosamine.
