It’s safe to say that at one point or another, you’ll need to give your dog medication in pill form. And that can often be easier said than done. Our canine friends don’t usually like taking pills because of their bitter taste. Here are some tips to give your dog a pill successfully:
● Hide the pill in food. Try pushing it into a glob of wet dog food or wrapping it in a bit of deli meat. Your dog might scarf down the morsel without realizing there was medicine inside.
● Crush or grind the pill. Then, you can sprinkle it over Fido’s meals. Always ask your vet before doing this, though, because it could render medicine ineffective.
● Administer it manually. Open your dog’s jaws and put the pill as far back on the tongue as possible. Close the jaws and stroke Fido’s throat to stimulate swallowing.
