Also remember, don't give them this with their meals. I give it as as a treat! Not very often though. Mostly when I need to give them meds. Liverwurst seems to be the best to conceal the pills. Other things work like ham, bologna and other lunch meats. But its harder to hide the pills in sliced meat. Chicken and hot dogs work pretty well too, but sometimes the little buggers can still pick out the pills. I have tried those pill pocket things but didn't work. I guess one thing may not work for all.
