I recently asked a drug company that same question and was told only tablets with a line marked in the middle would actually give half a dose; if any pill does not have a line marker, it means the drug is not evenly distributed within the tablet. So, the dog (or person) could actually still get a full dose, or none at all, if given half a pill without a line marked in the middle. But if there is a line on the pill, then half a pill would safely be exactly half a dose. The best thing is to call your pharmacy about any questions with drugs, they usually know more than anyone.

Can you break open a capsule of zonisamide and give to dog in something?

Has this drug been prescribed for your dog by a veterinarian? If so, how did he tell you to use it? I would call the vet and ask for instructions on how to give it to your pet. If it was NOT prescribed by a vet, and is for human use for seizures, then DO NOT give it to your dog. Take your dog to a vet if it is having seizures.
