Bentley was pretty easy, didn't have to hide his pills in food. He lets me put my fingers in his mouth, so I put them all the way in to the back, dropped the pill, held is mouth shut and rubbed under his chin until he swallowed.

My Lakeland Terriers, back in the day, were a little tougher. I had to hide them in white bread dipped in beef boulion. He would just devour it

I crush the pill and cover the crumbs in peanut butter or cream cheese then put it in my finger and Tess licks it off.

A little glob of butter. With big dogs and big pills, I put the pill into a pat of butter, tossed it into the air while saying "catch" and never cleaned butter off the floor. My Yorkies don't question a pill wrapped in butter, either...but they almost never, ever get butter unless there's a pill inside. I don't think they care about the pill...ummm...if there is butter...
