| Put pill in a GREENIE PILL POCKET, it comes in sizes for tablets or capsules. GREENIE PILL POCKETS are a LIFE SAVER for me, any pill form med. put in a GREENIE PILL POCKET, it also comes in 3 flavors. If you don't like stinky stay away from the duck one, my last girl LOVED stinky duck formula, my Cody boy not crazy about it but will eat it, sold at pet supplies, I think pet smart & Wal-Mart.

| Wrap the pill in a little bit of cheese. You can mold the cheese right around the treat. Or you can have your vet show you how to give it in the back of her throat…. |

| My two -- as far as they know -- have never taken a pill. Sentinel, antibiotics, pain meds, etc are always served up hidden inside a little glob of peanut butter. They get excited and come running when they see me take two spoons out of the drawer and get the jar of pb out of the pantry.

| I will be changing zoey's Combo Guard. This was the second month in a row that she has thrown up the pill after about 45 mins. She always eats it in her breakfast, no problem. She was on Trifexis before. I can't remember all the different ones she has been on but this is the only one that she can't keep down.
