With my old dog he would clamp him mouth shut. Ever tried to open a Lab/rottie/pitties mouth before? HA not gonna happen

SO I got sneaky ina couple ways.. I'd have a bunch of cheese rolled up.. I'd get him doing all sorts of tricks & tossing the treat into the air.. he'd get them quickly & knowing there was more, he'd swallow fast to get the rest I was tossing into the air. With his larger pills I crushed them.. I'd put them in a baggie & smash it with a happer, till it was powder.. then I'd mix it up with Jam & plop it onto his food.

For Bear, I use pill poppers, but shes easy to pill. If I'm in a hurry & don't have time to get the pill poppers, I'll get her to sit, open her mouth pointing to the sky, push her tongue down with my thumb & drop the pill in.. it insures the pill goes back far enough so she cannot spit it out...

Hope that helps some
