Have you ever tried to give your dog his tablet and he will just eat around it or spit it out. That is exactly what Blake did when I tried to give him his worming tablet! Then we discovered this amazing invention – pill pockets for dogs.
What are Pill Pockets for Dogs?
Pill Pockets for Dogs are especially designed for you to put your dogs pills into and make giving medicine to your dog mess and stress free. Whether it’s routine worming tablets or daily medication for a chronic condition, Pill Pockets for Dogs will make your life a lot easier. Simply pop the tablet into the doggie pill pocket and then feed him or her the treat.
How do they work?
The pill pockets mask the scent of the tablet because the treat scent is much stronger and so your dog will just think he is eating a meaty treat. They come in different sizes so you can try different ones with your dogs medication until you get the size right. They make feeding your dog medicine a much more positive experience.
