Swallowing pills can be hard for people and it can be hard for dogs. In general, dogs don’t like to swallow pills. Some may chew them, but it’s not usually a favorite thing for dogs. If your Pug or other breed canine is having trouble taking medication in pill form talk to your vet about different ways to get your dog to actually take his pill. Some pet owners find that placing the pill in a ‘pill pocket’ or soft treat will do the trick. You can also try mixing the pill in your dog’s food or even covering it in peanut butter before giving it to him. Just make sure he eats it. If disguising the pill doesn’t work, you may need to place the pill in your dog’s mouth yourself. Ask your vets Castle Hills, TX to demonstrate the correct way to place the pill in your dog’s mouth. If all else fails ask for liquid form.
