I used to have a pet rabbit who always refuse when it comes to medicine. She will turned away or run away whenever we feed her medicine. However, it is still important for us to feed her the medicine in order to keep her healthy back, so we sort of have forced it on her.

Your pet will love Pill Pockets but one thing is very important….Don’t let the medication that may get on your fingers touch the outside of the Pill Pocket. If you always use a clean hand to handle the Pill Pocket and the other the medication your pet will not catch on. Just like human medicine, pet medicine has a bad taste and that can transfer from your fingers to the Pill Pocket resulting in the pet refusing both.

For the first three weeks that I gave my cat Tiger the medication in the pill pockets she took it happily, but now when I open up the pills she runs and won’t even take with the pill pockets. I have been scratched and hissed at just for her to spit the pill back out. I am wits end with her. She needs to take this medication two times a day because she has epilepsy and she is only two years old. Are there any other solutions or flavors besides chicken or seafood? Please help.

I met Dr Marty Becker recently (he’s the vet who promoted pill pockets on Good Morning America). As far as can tell, Dr Becker’s promotion is quit genuine. I haven’t tried them but most sources suggest that they work really well. Dogs are unbelievably skilled at detecting pills! Amazing!!! If only they could detect all the lose change I’ve dropped over the years.

I was looking for a solution for giving medication to my dog who suffers from German Shepherd’s Pyoderma.

I’m sure this will help.

I’ll have to grab some of these for my dog, he has seizures so I have to hide his pills in bread. He gets rather suspicious of it now though. I don’t think he’ll be able to resist the smell of these treats though.

Every time I see a great product I say why didn’t I think of that. Simple but effective.
My trick for giving pills to my dogs is wrapping it with some cheese, but then again sometimes they pick it out.

I have never seen these before but what a great idea.

Although my chocolate lab will take pills with no disguising required, I think this idea is great for many pets that, unlike my dog, don’t swallow anything and everything at a moment’s notice without asking questions! Good product.

My chocolate lab hates taking pills too. I will have to check these out, thanks for the article!

When my dog gets sick and its time to give her some medicine, I hide the pills in some food like bread or within a piece of meat and then put it in her mouth, yup in her mouth, if I put the food in her plate she seems to lick the food and leave the pill

but when I put it in her mouth myself she does not want to spit out the food and just swallows it

This is brilliant! At least it’s worth trying, I will.

We’ve given up trying to give our cat pills. This is about the fourth cat between the two of us and he’s a small bear. Even two of us working together cannot get a pill in him. It’s so bad we’d rather just pay the vet, we’ll give this a shot, hopefully he’ll actually eat it.

If only they did this for parrots, have you tried giving medication to an African Grey!? Not easy!

This is fantastic. I get to tired of stuffing the pill into velveeta only to have the dog lick the cheese and leave most of the pill!

Thanks for this great info! I am a pet lover and this information will surely come in handy when I needed it for later.

My otherwise loving dog is vicious when it comes to taking pills. Disguising them in food doesn’t work – he caught on to that years ago. Pill Pockets are the only thing that works.

Thanks for sharing this. For sure, it’s definitely helpful. When I went to the vet, that’s what she did, hid the deworming pills in some chewable treats and the dogs ate them with no complications. ^_^

First!! I always wanted to say that! This is great. you really have no idea. I watch my girlfriends cat from time to time and i have a heck of a time trying to get her to eat her medication. Even if i put it in the food she still won’t eat it. I’ll take a look at this and maybe give it a try. Thanks for the info.
