thank you for that tip. I will try that if my second attempt doesn't work better. Latte is on the lowest strength apoquel pill. its not round , its more oval shaped. and it has a nice score in the middle. so, after I cut it in half which was easy... I used a single edge blade razor to cut it in half the long way. ( I thought because it had the rounded edge at one end... if I cut it the long way, I could cut it more even. but like I said before ... it crumbled and turned into powder consistency ). next time which will be tomorrow morning, that I try cutting it... I will try cutting it the shorter way. maybe it will break easier that way. i'm sure the quarter must not have to be perfectly exact , so, i'll just do my best and as long as she's getting a total of half a pill a day, i'm sure 2 possibly uneven portions will be fine.
but I will try my nail if cutting it the shorter way doesn't work
