I give my dogs pills in peanut butter. They swallow the lump of peanut
butter down so fast, they never notice there is a pill hidden inside. It
works very well and they don't pester me when I'm eating peanut butter.
Funny, in the days when peanut butter jaws were glass and had metal lids, my
golden, a dog I had back in the 90's, got to know the sound of that jaw and
would come running.

Actually, not always. Some dogs do get wise to that. Lexia will eat most
pills that are in pill pockets. However, one time, I tried to give her a
flea pill in a pill pocket, and she ate the pill pocket but spit out the
pill. I would not try this one for several reasons, but one tactic that we
often used with the family border collie mix pet was to throw her pieces of
food, and, somewhere in between, throw a pill instead of a piece of food.
The dog barely noticed because she about swallowed the food or pill without
a second thought, which is one of the reasons that I don't recommend this
method.

There are also pill pockets. It can get a little pricy though, but you
could put the capsules in the pill pockets. Your dog will eat that most
likely! haha

Thanks Marsha. I was kind of hoping I could avoid puncturing the tablet and
just have her eat it with her fod. GDB adds water to the dog's food as
well. I might just try dropping the tablet in her food and see if she'll
eat it like that, if not, I'll go the other route.

Minh,
With my first guide, I added a tablet worths to her water. With my Emma
girl, I added a punctured tablet to her food. Once she got sick and would
eat around the tablet, I would squeeze out the contents of the tablet on to
her wet food. She was from TSE, where they give the pup food with a little
bit of water on it. Not sure if they do that anymore. With this pup I will
puncture the tablet and put into her dry food. I guess it depends on the
pup, the school in which you got yoru pup from, and how the food is given to
the pup.
Yes it does smell bad, it is from fish though...LOL

I'm curious, when you give your dog the fish oil tablet, do you add it to
the food or do you do it by hand? My boyfriend gives his dog a fish oil
supplement but it's liquid and it smells absolutely atrocious so I've
avoided going that route for a while. Now that winter is fast approaching,
I'm noticing that my dog is itching more because her coat is getting dryer
so I want to start her on fish oil.

thank you everyone for your responses. I never knew that humans could
take fish oil too, until a fmaily member told me of it. I have been giving
to my pups for a while. Just glad I don't have to buy separate tablets
for the pup too.

Marsha,
My vet niece assures me that the same fish oil I take is also good for the
dogs. So we ran out of fish oil, and I keep forgetting to get more.

Listers,
I recently began taking a fish oil supplement that I purchased from
Costco. Of course since fall and winter have now started visiting the
Northeast, my pup has dry skin and will itch. Are the fish oil pills that
humans take, the same that are safe for pups? Are they different?
Just wondering if anyone knows.
Thanks,
