Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I use cheese sometimes, but it doesn't always work. Usually, since I home cook, I can sneak it into their food.

| I have to crush the pill and mix it with peanut butter. At first I just put the whole pill in pb and they would eat the pb and spit the pill out . Now the pill gets crushed and mixed into he pb so they can't spit it out

| If it's pills, I wrap it in deli meat (turkey) and gulp! If it's liquid, I squirt the dose into a piece of bread and wrap that in the deli meat - Gulp again! I never call it Medicine... I call it very yummy treats and give them a small piece of the meat without the medicine soon. I make them to tricks for the 2nd one that has the medicine in it. Works like a charm!

| I use creamy peanut butter to give Sadie her heartworm pill. She just gobbles it down, and I give her a little extra peanut butter afterward for a treat!!

| I cant pop it in the back of there mouths like the vets told me to do. My Bunny and Bella will make them self sick and toss it up. So I HAVE to give it to them, with out them knowing. So I have put it in cheese Or I will put it in people food (whole or mashed) to get them to eat it. Most of the time there so happy to get something mommy is eating, they will just eat it whole and not notice the pill in there I would save there favorite foods for just there meds, so they will be SOO happy there getting it... that they wont expect a thing Last edited by OLIVIA_KARHIS; 06-25-2007 at 10:22 PM. |

| I use Cheese Whiz! I tried Peanut butter, which had worked on a previous dog but one of my 2 won't touch it. Right now, Cora is on anti-biotics twice a day and I found putting it in a little cheese whiz and then getting her to do a Training exercise for it, i.e. 'sit', and she gobbles it up without spitting out the pill. She's a very picky eater, too! |

| I never knew that Yorkies could be so difficult about taking meds. For Ellile' heartworm pill we just put it in her throat and it goes right down. We never had to put it in food. When she gets antibiotics we giet liquid. One holds her and her mouth open while the other squirts it in. I think she likes the bubble gum flavor.

| Buddy was on an antibiotic for three weeks recently and those pills were made for a horse! I darn near passed out when I opened up the bottle. I could not use any dairy products for that lengh of that time so I just opened the capsle sprinkled it on his food and throw the capsule away. Other times I have buried a small pill in cheese or a piece of sliced chicken or turkey. They do make pill pockets as a treat for dogs. They can be purchased at the vets' or in a pet store. Buddy does not like them |

| The trick I use no matter what I stuff it in: Always have a HUGE "follow up" piece that they can SEE. Watch them swallow the small piece with the pill and then give them the big piece of cheese or whatever. Loki is so excited about a big hunk of cheese he forgets about the pill. Otherwise he runs away and spits out the pill.
