[NAGDU] Pill giving

[Sherry Gomes]

I give my dogs pills in a glob of peanut butter. It works every time. They
gobble down the peanut butter so fast they never know they are getting a
pill.

Subject: [NAGDU] Pill giving

Krokus has to take his pill for overactive bladder twice a day.  I was
trying to figure out how to give it to him, without having to pill him.
Then I thought that he will eat anything, pretty much, so I tried mixing the
pill with 4-5 kibbles and offering it to him in my hand right before he
eats, when he's most excited.  He snarfs up the lot, usually without
chewing.  Very easy.  So, if someone else has to give a pill, and has a
ravenous dog like mine, give my method a try.
