Peanut butter is his least favorite, however, he will eat it on a tiny piece of bread and spit out the pill. Some times he will swallow and walk away, then when across the room, out comes the pill. I have to watch him closely.

Have all three ready when you start. I give the dog a piece of bread (dime sized) with the PB on it - they gulp it down. Give the dog another dime sized piece of bread squished around the pill with a dab of peanut butter on it, followed immediately with the third piece of just bread and PB. Mine love both so much that all three would be swallowed before they ever had a hint of a pill being involved.

No matter what I wrap the pill in they still spit it out LOL We bought a pill crusher that solved the problem From: Mary Overton Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 7:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Flea Control Veveeta Cheese the pill gets lost in it if they like cheese. If you have multiple dogs it seems if they think one of the other dogs is going to get it they are more likely to gobble it down Mary Overton 816-457-0597 From: Peggy & The Girls <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 5:19 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Flea Control That's a tough one if he brings it back up. Does he have a favorite food that he likes so much, that he just gulps it down? Could try hiding it in that. If it is a tablet, maybe cut it up in little pieces and hide in his special food, one piece at a time. Liverwurst, as well as American Cheese usually works pretty good to hide a piece of it in, and roll it into a tiny ball so he can just gulp it down.

So, now, he has to take a pill and I have a terrible time getting him to swallow it. Tried a pill shooter, food, pill pocket, and poking it down his throat, it usually comes back up. Any suggestions?
