You can crunch the tablet between two teaspoons and mix it in something
tasty.

[Moderator's Notes:
Always check with the veterinarian or pharmacist who is
providing the med to see what it can NOT be given with.
Some meds can not be given with foods, some can not
be given with some types of foods, some can not be
given with water (which is why some are coated), and
some can not be given with oils.
Also look to make sure that the med has an indented
cutting line down it if dividing a med. Ones that lack
that serration do NOT have the active ingredient evenly
spread throughout the tablet or caplet. In that case the
crushed med has to be very well crushed and very well
mixed to avoid giving a dose that is too large some days
and one that is too small on other days.]
