Anybody Use Greenie Pill Pockets?

I purchased some at the vets because JoJo is having ear scratching & belly licking issues and is on Prednisone for a week or two.

I pray that she eats the pill pocket with the medicine in them. She HATES it when I give her a pill orally - she spits it out, foams at the mouth and just has a hissy fit! For a cat with 3 legs, she's pretty strong when it comes to pills.

Anybody use these pill pockets and does it work for your cat(s)?

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE, WAHT I TRY TO DO IS HAVE MY VET PRESCRIBE A LIQUID MED THAT I CAN WIPE ON THIER PAWS OR NOSE. THAT DOESNT ALWAYS WORK, BUT I CANT HOLD THEM LONG ENOUGH TO PILL THEM, THEY ARE FAST AND I AM OLD.

I've never heard of Greenies Pill Pockets but I do use the other brand of pill pockets. I have 3 cats that are on herbal pill supplements so I cut up one pill pocket into 3 pieces and then put the pill in it. I open my cats mouth and tilt their head back and they swallow it without any problems. Good luck.

We had to get creative with Giz and her heart medicine. She would eat the pill in the pill pocket for awhile, then would have nothing to do with it. Then we would crush it up and crush a treat up with it and she would eat that. Now, with Amy and Boo on the Cosequin I buy canned cat food and mix all the meds in that and they get that as a treat. A half a teaspoon is all they get with their meds each night and that is now their new treat.

After looking at the Pill Pockets that I have, I found out that they're made by Greenies but they're not called "Greenies Pill Pockets" like I saw on a website when I tried looking it up. This must be their new packaging.

I am currently using the salmon flavoured ones for Oliver's daily medicine. He LOVES them, he will even remind me when it is time to give him the medicine. There is no way I could give him regular meds without these
