The heartworm pills I use are tiny, and I do mean tiny, and they are liver flavored. Can you look into different brands of pills to see if there are any available that are smaller and maybe taste better for your baby?

Before I even get the package out, I start talking to Silvia in a high pitched happy voice and ask her "do you want a treat?" Of course she goes nutz! Then I keep asking her while I open the package and hold it in front of her. She will take that thing in one swallow and be happy about it when I act like that. Then I of course do give her one of her treats right behind it. Now, I have tried to give her the exact same pills without doing this and she will sniff it and fight me to the end. It's all in a matter of how you give it to her, sometimes.
