| Best treat to hide pills in What have you found to be the best dog treat to hide pills in? Callie takes three pills in the morning and one at night. She can not have cheese. We had been using the zukes Christmas trees that came out around Christmas but they only came out for a limited time. She hates the greenies pill pockets. Any suggestions?

| What works for me is using Low Fat Cream Cheese, just a dab to put the pill in it. I have never had a problem with it. This is the only thing mine will take with a pill in it.

| Another solution is to give the pill, and immediately after (like right in the next bite), give any kind of biscuit/treat. That way they are so focused on getting the good treat that they swallow whatever the first thing was that went in their mouth. |

| I was literally going to say cheese and then I was like... oh, crap, when I read the rest of the post LOL. Canned food? I've mixed a pill before in a thick pile of wet food (like, the entree kind, not ones with chunks or soupy). That's what I did when Jackson was on RX food for a week a few years back. I used the canned version for pills, etc. You could always use chicken too? Like bland chicken and kind of make a 'sandwich' between two pieces of chicken and put the pill in between. Milkbones make a version of pill pockets. https://www.chewy.com/milk-bone-pill...B&gclsrc=aw.ds Jax is super picky and he loves the peanut butter flavored Greenies pill pockets but no other flavor. They smell like real PB.

| Our Airedale could pick the tiniest pill out of a heaping spoonful of wet food. I bet Callie is that talented too! I wish that I still had the photo from Facebook of the Yorkie who ate an entire bowl of fresh food, looked like stew, and left the pill at the bottom of the bowl. Funniest thing I have ever seen. Is the pill shooter no longer working for Callie? When we were still using Interceptor for heartworm, I had to put the pill at the back of Teddy's tongue and hold his mouth shut until he swallowed. Sometimes it took a couple of attempts. Putting the pill in food did not help.

| I have used regular Deli meat (liverworst) actually for pill popping.

Jackson is such a food hound that wrapping it up in a little piece of cheese he does not even realize. He literally just swallows it lol. Easy peezy. My dads dogs on the other hand? They get sooo suspicious. They'll eat around the cheese and then spit out the pill.

| Try these if you can and she will eat liver treats. Liver treats at Walmart in tiny cartons, cost abt .99 each. They also make yogurt treats. Human food: liver pudding. We have Neese's liver pudding here, sold with sausage. Sausage balls. Make balls with liver pudding, no cooking req'd. Cook sausage of course.

Have you also tried non-salted dog peanut butter? Or hiding it in boiled chicken breast?
