I tried using cheese with the pills and later pet pockets and Maverick can still smell and ignore the pills. I'm now using Seresto collar for the ticks....so far no side effects.
My vet gave me the flyer for Proheart 12 and I'm not convinced. I have to figure out another solution for heart medicine to fool my smart yorkie to take a monthly pill.
Any suggestions? I tried cheese, peanut butter, pet pockets and cutting the pills up and he still finds a way to avoid a portion of the pill. Not sure how much of the pill will help with heartworms. Please excuse this rookie for asking so many questions. My wife passed away before Christmas and now Maverick relies on me as his protector. He goes everywhere with me to include all my Doctor appointments.

Which one are you using? Heartgard is normally tasty to most dogs. It may not be great but I have had to use roast beef deli meat. I have also had to use a pill shooter with smaller pills they wouldn’t take.
