| Peanut Butter for Yorkies Is it OK to give Peanut Butter to Yorkies? We need to give him a pill two times a day for the next week or so and needless to say he can't stand it. A friend of ours suggested putting the pill in Peanut Butter so he wouldn't know but we wanted to make sure that PB isn't bad for them. If it is, what are some of your tips to get your little one to take their pills?

| I know a lot of people give their yorkies peanut butter and I used to, until Zeus was diagnosed with Pancreatits. Peanut butter has a lot of fat that can overload their digestive system. My vet told us not to give him anymore. But that is just my own experience. I am sure others have had different results.

| As far as I know peanut butter is fine - as long as it's not in excess. I don't think a dab on you finger to get him to take his medicine will hurt him. I wrap pills in a little piece of cheese to get my guys to take them. Good luck!

| For pills try putting it in sliced cheese or wrapping it in bologna or some other deli meat. That usually works pretty well. They also have pill poppers, but I don't know how easy they are. I've never used one. Good luck! |

| I use them both, Cheese and Peanut Butter. It depends what kind of mood they are in.

| I would use a little american cheese instead of peanut butter because cheese is much easier for them to swallow. |

| I just open his mouth and put the pill in the back of his mouth and massage his throat. |

YT 1000 Club Member | I have on occasion had o administer Pills and have used some Worm Meds which my guys don't like to swallow. I've used both Cheese and PButter finding that Cheese is the better of the two for disguising. Another way is to reduce the size of the Pill. I have a (personal) Pill Cutter, and find that if you half or quarter many of the objectionables, they can be disguised and administered much easier.

| Huey is on Abx 2 x day for three weeks due to a UTI. He is already tired of the PB, (which better not be bad for him...so I made my own pill pockets with shredded cheese that I melted in the microwave then rolled into balls & punched a hole in with a straw. I then put them in the fridge until hardened and then rolled them in a row of saran wrap. Now all I have to do is cut one off the end of the roll, put the pill in the hole, pinch the end & feed it to Huey. These will work well if dh has to do it, because I tried to teach him the PB thing and he ended up with more PB on himself and the counter than the pill & then let Huey lick the PB off & spit the pill out instead of shoving the PB pill clump in his mouth.
