Easiest way for dogs to swallow pills?

Does your dog catch treats when you toss them to her? I toss Autumn a few little treats and then the pill and another treat right away, she doesn't notice.

For Tango I have to do what Karen described. She's a slow eater whether it's a treat or a meal so she notices the pill right away and she probably thinks eating is a waste of time, she'd rather play with a ball than eat anyday. For the others, I usually just wrap it in some cheese or put it in their dinner. They all live for food and don't even notice. If the Peanut Butter thing works for you then I'd continue to do it.

( Like Karen said.) :p

Yup!! Same here!! Buddy is like Sherman and Sierra is like Star. As soon as Sierra hears a bottle of pills she runs away!! :rolleyes:

I know i've seen biscuits especially for this purpose but I cant seem to find them. They are like a tiny bowl shaped for you to put the pill into so they dog is getting a treat while having the pill.

Mine are a crossbreed half lab half pig and half JRT and pig so we dont really have much problems with pills :D :p

When ever my guys have been on Antibiotics i always gave the pills to them in wet food
