    When I had to give Kai his pain meds, he quickly figured out that if he nibbled on hot dog pieces, he'd find the pill. The trick was to quickly give them to him one right after another. I'd give him 3 or 4 really quickly, slip in the piece with the pill and quickly give another regular piece. He was too excited about getting more than he completely forgot about looking for the pill.

    the hotdog and cheese work for me when tossing it back down doesn“t, you can also try to pulverize it and mix it in some wet food (canned) or some creamy stuff, or you can get the liquid version of the med.......

    I myself can“t swallow pills so i always get the liquid version for myself and voilį..........

    My maggie takes a throid pill every morning.I wrap it in a small piece
    of Velvetta cheese. Braunsweiger works just as well. Like someone else
    said, anything soft that you can wrap around the pill works great.
