The key to "hiding" pills in food is to be absolutely SURE that the pill won't be detected. Our little Yorkies are so smart and so persnickety that if they ever think we are faking them out they will become suspicious and will fastidiously chew every treat we give them.
I swap high value food treats and be sure that all the kiddos get a bit of the same treat. I hide the pill in the "victim's" treat and set it aside then give everyone a treat. The second go around, I get everyone really excited and start handing out treats, give the "vicitim" his/her treat in the middle of the sequence, being sure that he wolfs it down and then continue handing out treats.
Last night I hid Lollie's pill in a piece of soft yummy mac-n-cheese. The night before it was real butter, and before that it was cream cheese.
Good luck with Barney! |
