This could make your life a lot easier. I have used many different brands over the years and every one of them has dissolved in H2O.
Let me know if this works for you. I really hope it does!

BUT if you take the whole tablet you would be over dosing, if the dog is only supposed to get 1/4 Tab. I score mine and then just put the correct dose amount in syringe, add water and let sit to dissolve and then shake and give the meds.
