Greenies Pill Pockets Canine Chicken Flavor Natural Dog Treats, Capsule Size, 60 count

We were big time struggling with pill time. Sunny, our 12 year old Beagle, takes some daily pills including a multi-vitamin, glucosamine, a small antacid and a small thyroid pill. But recently we had to add a large capsule filled with white powder for kidney support. And she quickly turned her nose up at the peanut butter she used to love - we think because we had to use too much of it. It was a daily fight and emotional struggle and was weighing on the whole family. Pill Pockets have completely saved us! We use them like dough - pour out any powders and crush up anything that can be crushed, and kneed the powders into the pill pocket dough. Once combined, we used the spiked dough and form tiny dough balls to wrap around any remaining small pills. Pill Pockets seem to mask the taste of the powders because she doesn't notice it at all. She then performs tricks for us and gets rewarded with her favorite treat! She LOVES pill time now. And she happily gets all her medication down with zero struggle.

I have had several Senior dogs over the years. Some that take pills easily and some that were next to impossible to give pills to. These pill pockets are a great way to disguise non-chewable pills as a treat. My last dog, Oreo, had to take 5 different medications, up to 3 times a day. Her chewable Dasaquin was a large chewable tablet that she gobbled up like a treat. But she also had several small bitter pills or capsules that were difficult to hide in food because they would start to dissolve and had a very bitter taste. However, I could put these pills in a pill pocket and they became another treat to her. The pill pockets don’t cause bitter tasting pills to dissolve. They do require that you mold the pocket around the pill but this isn’t difficult. My only complaint is that after you open package, the pill pockets begin to dry out and become a bit crumbly and harder to mold to the pills. They still work pretty good, it just takes a little more effort to mold them to the pills. It is important to remove as much air as possible from the bag and make sure it is sealed to prevent the pill pockets from drying out any more than necessary.
