I find giving a liquid is the worst and still haven't found a good solution. But I found a way to give them pills without a hassle. I put them in liverwurst. All of my dogs love it and never pick out the pills. You can hide the pill within the soft liverwurst and shape it however you want to conceal the pill. This is the one I use: It comes pre-sliced and it takes just a little portion of the slice to mold around a pill. I'd be surprised if this didn't work for you. You should try it! ~R --- In [email protected], lgorum18@... wrote: > > Monster is still doing good today. He's learning a LOT of self control. I am >having problems giving him his pills though.
