We're going to the white coats tonight

Try putting the pill in cheese or stick it in a teaspoon of cream cheese.. Usually that works for me. Also crushing it in raw hamburger patty..

I've tried it ALL!
All she does is laugh at me!

What about peanut butter? Or crushed in a teaspoon of yogurt... lol. Or cottage cheese. ?

Tried it
Tired it
Still doesn't work

I've tried lunch meat, hamburgers, cheese, peanut butter, treats, steaks, pancakes, everything!

man---- well call the vet and see if you can get it in liquid. Or crush and hide in the dogs dinner with nothing else to eat.

Get better soon Sierra and take your meds!

I'm sorry you are having such a rough time at it with Sierra.
Silly girl!
My Baby is so food oriented, that she will just take her medicine. She thinks she is getting a treat because we get her excited, and then give it to her.

Sending good vibes that you can find something that will make it easier for you to get her to take the medicine.

Now Sierra, STOP THAT! Take your pills for mom, you silly!

Star is also a master of unwrapping, dislodging, refusing pills too. Honestly, the best way I found with her is the direct approach - no bribbing. I pry her mouth open (slip fingers in from the side in front of the molars), toss them as far back as I can get my hand in, hold her muzzle shut and blow on her face (I've heard this triggers them to swallow).
Do you have any dog booties? I bought a set to put on Star when she injured her foot - I only put it on when she goes outside, it's easier than tape & baggies. www.dogbooties.com sells them very inexpensively.


Gooooooooood luck!
