We are lucky in that our good friend Trish showed us that hiding a pill in some peanut butter was the best way to get her bulldog Sanford to take his medication and it works like a charm for Braddock too, thankfully! I say this because our dogs growing up (Scruffy and Conner) were and are masters at avoiding swallowing pills. We hid pills in all kinds of food and they would just eat around it. So what is a person to do if peanut butter isn't the answer? My parents discovered a great product called Greenies Pill Pockets and they work like a charm!
They are a nutritious treat that contain a built-in pouch, perfect for hiding a tablet, capsule or supplement. Dogs love the taste so much—they won't even notice there's medicine inside! They were designed by vets and experts so they not only help with the delivery of medication, they are also a source of vitamins C & E to promote a healthy immune system. They come in convenient sizes to match your pill size, a large size that fits most capsules and a small size that fits most tablets. They have also come out with a new formula designed for the millions of dogs that suffer from food allergies!
So if you like so many other people are struggling to get your dog to eat his/her medication and/or supplements first try some organic peanut butter, but if that doesn’t work give Greenies a shot :)
