We buy these little doggy treats called "pill pockets'. Throw the pill in it and close it shut, flip it to the dog and vawalla no more pill. never
been easier, but a little spendy.
Frankly a piece of cheese with the pill in it is just as easy and much cheaper. My wife just loves spending money on the babies.

Every approach that works is good.

We use the same trick as Morgaine...
Pill Pockets are Worth the Price.

Dealing with a Dog that takes a number of Pills daily, one of which is GRANDE, and who is an EXPERT at working with her tongue to find and spit them
out, Pill Pockets work every time.BajaGringo - 5-29-2011 at 06:18 PM

Of course after reading that I had to look them up...
We used cream cheese for our Bulldog Charlie. It worked every time.

For 50 years I have been using liver sausage, braunschweiger (sp?), as an irresistable treat to wrap around a dog's pill. A disadvantage would be not
finding it in most markets of Baja, but pill pockets probably aren't common down there either.
Anyway, if you are using cream cheese or other available queso, the best trick for a dog who is wise to the "pill game" may be to let it see that you
have a larger hunk of the goodie ready in your other hand as a "chaser," for when the first bit is going down. This has always worked for us.tripledigitken - 5-29-2011 at 10:27 PM

I had a Bulldog who looked eggzactly like Charlie. A sweetheart but dumb as a rock (She'd get lost in the backyard).
If she ate any milk product you couldn't get within a block...Unless you had a gas mask.TMW - 5-30-2011 at 09:05 AM

We use to give the neighbors dog peanut butter on a dog biscuit but so the peanut butter would be on top so it sticks to the top of his mouth. That
was just about the funniest thing I ever watched.J.P. - 5-30-2011 at 09:06 AM

I used to have a male and female like Charlie , dumb as a rock and Stubborn as a Georgia Mule, you could not ride with both of them in the car.
i'll vote for the peanut butter

Tyson had to take some meds last year so i bought a can of Cheeze Whiz and spread some onto his pill and he'd just lick it off my fingers pill and
all.
