You only need to give the milk thistle once a day. It will probably be easiest if you mix it in with Andy's food so he doesn't realize it is there. It may mix more easily in canned or moisten food than in dry kibble. You could also dissolve it in water and feed it to him through a syringe if he won't eat it on the food. Let us know if you have anymore questions!
