So sorry for your loss.
I use Greenie Pill Pockets. I assume when you say Pet Pockets it's the Greenie pill pocket. Since I have no issues this has worked for me. Before Greenies came out, I hid pills in a Hot Dog, a piece just a bit bigger then the pill, that worked for my now passed girls.
I don't like advising hot dogs but taking heart worm pill is very important
You're a good dad, taking Maverick everywhere you go. Try the hot dog, see if that works.
Good luck
