Phoebi "power spits" the Interceptor right back out! No matter what I hide it in! The pill is the tiniest thing I've ever seen and I even attempt to cut it into pieces and she still knows.......she must know the day of the month or something! I just open her mouth and put it on the back of her tongue and cross my fingers! My maltese, Chan, woofs it right down..... |

Buddy hates the d---n things. I crumble them up really tiny, take a bit of cheese and make a tiny cheese ball. I do this about one hundred times until the whole thing is consumed. It takes most of the afternoon, but when we are finished, he has had his medicine and he thinks he has had the best afternoon ever. L0T'S OF TREATS. YUM!!! We each think the other one is dumber. Me for giving him treats all afternoon, or he for actually eating something he doesn't want to eat. Whatever, it works, and we are both happy. Life is good!! |
Thank goodness my Monte takes his with ease... |
Gracie takes the interceptor flavor tabs and loves when we take out the box! Her tail wags and she jumps up and down! |
I have no problems with my little ones with their Heartgard Plus as long as I slice it into little treat size bites. My problem is my GSD who acts like the biggest baby and refuses to eat the dang thing. I've hidden it in food - smeared it in peanut butter - you name it - I've done it. He constantly spits it out even going so far as to keep it in his mouth and drop it behind the couch. The issue is made worse by Piper who loves to eat anything and she runs behind him trying to get his Heartgard as well as her own! Oh blah - Sunday is dose day! |
Starsky does this too. I found I have to cut it in half and shove it in his mouth and hold his mouth shut. The vet said she usually gives the soft chewy one but was out of those so I got a meat flavored pill. Well the good thing is only 2 more months of this. |
Well I am glad to know my monsters are not the only ones that hate there hart worm meds AND know I have a few more Ideas to give them there hart worm pill, if they ever catch on to the tuna or chicken salad :p |
lexi just gobbles that up..123 its gone, she thinks it a treat |
Gypsy will eat anything. She gobbles up the heartworm med and still wants more of it. |
My yorkies seem to know that the Heartgard is not a treat. They will wait until I call their name and then I break it up into pieces and feed each one. I've tried the Interceptor on my smaller yorkies but they just spit it out regardless of what I hide it in... so they are all back on Heartgard. With treats.. there is no line-up.... they all come charging!!!:Puppy2: |
i just got that heart worm chewable yesterday and we gave it to her with no problem, you prob might have tried or been told breaking it up in the food? |
Oh yesss...there is no way to get a pill down Maddie's throat. Not even my vet or another vet at that clinic could do it! What I do now when she needs medicine or her heartworm pill is I push it into one of those baby food chicken fingers and she eats it right up. I always watch her eat it to know the pill went down with it. A few times the pill ends up on the floor and I have to try again! She can be a stubborn little thing! |
hi all, do you get these from the pet store or from the vet? When should you start giving them to your yorkie? Peanut is almost done with all his shots, but the vet hasn't mentioned any of this. Thanks! |
My baby takes revalution, it takes care of all of it. |
