When Max had to go on pills, cause he was deadly ill, I was putting them right down his throat until he started to turn agressive during pill time... I think being ill & then forcing something down their throats doesn't make them too happy... & when ur dog can lock his jaws on ur fingers (but not bite hard) its a major pain in the bitt setting ur fingers free... So I wanted to see if those dog roll things tould work (it kinda looks like a fat hotdog weiner & smells horribly gross, its made from cow heart & other organs) ... what I did was cut it into think peperoni slices & then cut a hole in the middle for the pill... I don't think Max ever got to taste them, he swallowed tham all whole...
