You can buy a "Pill-Crusher" through Amazon for under $7...works awesome for large pills...then just sprinkle on bites of raw meat or canned food or gooey treats depending on what you feed!

Also pill pockets usually work well too. Peanut butter doesn't work on Princess because she tries to chew it since it is so sticky, and then she spits out the pill. I guess depending on the dog, you will just have to keep trying different things. If he is impossible to swallow the pill, the you can crush it down, add just a few drops of warm water to it and mix it, then add it to a syringe and syringe him. I had to do that with a maltese that I once had, she was a pro at spitting out her meds.

At first it was like so easy. I would hide it in his little treat and he would chew it right up. Now it seems like he knows that there something that is just not right about his treat. Lol. Now he knows I hide is meds in his treat and he'll take it right out and just eat the treat. I'm like man come on Paco take your meds it'll help you feel better. But he's like no way I'm not falling for this again. Any other ways I can help Paco take his meds. I can't keep giving him his treats until he takes it. ♥ Peggy & The Girls ♥
