Patients come in every day with a medical condition that requires them to be on oral medication. Most of the medications for dogs and cats come in pill form, so clients are always asking the secret to getting them to take the pills. Some dogs and cats do well with just putting the pill on the back of their tongue, closing their mouth, and blowing in their nose (this makes them swallow). However, some patients are very difficult to pill and it becomes very frustrating for everyone involved. Well, if your dog/cat loves treats, there is an easier way to give them medicine. Pill Pockets are a meat flavored treats that are about the consistency of play dough. There is an opening in the center of the treat where you can place the pill and then seal it up in the treat. They come in beef and chicken flavors for dogs and salmon flavor for cats. So, if you're having trouble pilling your pet, try this and see if it will make medicine time a little more enjoyable.
