One of my dogs is older and is now on a lot of medications. This dog is difficult to give medication too. She even spits out pill pockets. She even spits out pill pockets without medication in them. When my last dog Louie was elderly and on lots of medications he was good with special doggy safe meatballs I used to make for him to hide pills. My current dog figured out that pills are inside the meatball so meatballs don’t work for her. The last few weeks chicken liver, squeeze cheese, and peanut butter are the only things that she will take pills in.
Here’s the squeeze cheese.
Squirt a small amount on your palm and insert pill.
Now squirt a little more to hide the pill.
Offer to dog.
Dog takes medication.
Then the slightly bigger pills I try to incase in Chicken Liver (just dump chicken livers from container into a baking dish in a preheated 350 degree F oven for around 30 minutes…you can season sparingly with a very small amount of sea salt and a very small amount of pepper)
Then I use squeeze cheese to coat the pill.
For bigger pills I use peanut butter.
I wrap the peanut butter around the pill and then offer to my patient.
Chicken Liver, Squeeze Cheese, and Peanut Butter are Helpful to give Medications to difficult dogs.
Liverwurst works great too, oh, and cream cheese. When you have older dogs you build up an arsenal of potential pill carriers!
Yes I can imagine the dogs also would enjoy cream cheese and liverwurst too!
