I have 2 dogs, 1 that does this and 1 that eats everything including cat shit from the litter box. That dumbass will live forever if I give him this pill, because he’d eat his sisters too.
Ack, yeah. We’ll blame the crap Vision Pro virtual keyboard. I wanted to go back and fix it, but I find the stupid thing is way too sensitive and watch as it deletes my entire paragraph.
Oh don’t get me wrong, mine will eat basically anything. The only thing that he will fuss about is pills. He’ll eat random nuts, berries, and discarded food on the ground when I take him for a walk, but God forbid I try to give him his flea&tick for the month
My goldie-mutt would spit out every pill I ever gave her no matter how much cheese or peanut butter it was buried in, but since we started using these she gobbles them up instantly. The ding dong thinks she’s getting a treat everyday but joke’s on her, it’s her medicine.
Or have you guys tried giving the pill alone? My cat has multiple pills every day, I always saw my dad give my dogs pills growing up, you put it on the back of their tongue and they can’t help but swallow it. A little neck massage and some coaxing with gentle head pets and holding their head back has always worked for me. My cat doesn’t even get up when she’s lying down and hears me open the pills. She perks her head up, almost like she looks forward to it. She’s a weirdo.
When my doggo was younger, we would just do that- drop it in the back of her throat then hold her mouth shut and massage her throat to encourage her to swallow. But now that she’s on a vet-prescribed regimen for probably the rest of her life, it’s just easier to pop a pill in the meat pouch since she just gobbles them up.
Pill pockets worked on my cat twice. After that he was like “waitaminute! This is medicine!” So now I put the pill in the pocket and just shove it down his throat and he gets real treats afterwards.
That’s probably because your cat chews her food, while my pupper inhales food as if she’s never gonna eat again, despite what every past day in her life might indicate. 😂
My dog is such a dumbass he would spit out the immortality pill even if I cover it with peanut butter

That dropped apostrophe on “sister’s” makes that ominous on first read

Have you tried something like a Pill Pocket?

Really? Our cat acts like pill pockets are frickin crack. She’s like “GIVE ME PILL POCKETS NOW!”
