How do you give pills without food? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My dogs love Nutri-Stat (Nutri-Cal). When I had to give one of my girls Amoxicillin pills that smelled bitter she would not let me shove them down her throat, they always came back up. I tried a bead of Nutri-Stat on my finger then the pill and another bead of Nutri-Stat. She would eat the Nutri-stat and pill off my finger. Never once did she spit out the pill!!! I thought it was amazing and will try it with others that have to take pills. Of course your dog needs to like the Nutri-Stat first. (Mine all come running when they see the yellow tube!!)

Treat it like its a treat for her.. Have her sit for it or something.. She will probably eat it before she realizes its not a treat.
