How to Get Your Dog to Take its Medicine

September 14th, 2009 by Sally

It can be really difficult and frustrating trying to give your dog its medicine. Sometimes no matter how much you try, your dog simply refuses to swallow the pills it needs to get better. It gets even worse when there is more than one dog in the mix. If one refuses then the others will usually do the same.

You can try and hide the pills in food but you often find that the pill falls out. There is a solution however and it comes in the form of small pill pockets made from real meat. These pockets have a space in the middle ready for you to insert the pill. You can then pinch the ends of the pill pocket and feed it to your dog. The good thing about these pill pockets is that they are small and go down so quickly that the dog won’t get chance to spit it out.
