Couldn't be without it
I LOVE this thing! My cat has to take pills every night and one is so bitter he won't eat it crushed up. This pill popper makes giving him a pill so much easier than using my fingers, and I don't have to worry about keeping my fingers!

Engineering breakthru!
My dog is a vy loving puppy who takes 13-17 pills a day (I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's a delicate cocktail - about half the pills are administered to reduce side effects from other meds...and when he's taking all his meds he's the king of the dog park and the neighborhood - even the vets believe he's got another four or five yrs of happiness.....)
But we are in our third year of this routine.... He grew bored of pill pockets after year one. Crushing pills - yeah, he was on to that trick after about a month. The pill syringe is really the only way that I can get him to take his pills w/o it becoming an hour long process. The first couple of weeks he was a pill about it. But after every successul swallow I gave him a treat. Now he just sits there, lets me pop it in and swallows...we're about a year and a half into it and he'll take it from anyone. I think he's cursing me privately b/c it's a weird routine, but it's effective and not too invasive, so he deals....if you're at your wits end, get your vet or vet tech to teach you how this works - it's worth the learning curve....

Does Not Work!
I cannot get this thing to work properly! The pills are constantly getting stuck in it and I have to do it several times to get it to eject the pill. (I will have to try and modify it by cutting the tip down as suggested in another review) I have an older piller that is all hard plastic (no rubber tip) and it has always worked great.

Very good after modification
I purchased 2 and neither one would work, they would not eject the pill. I took a single edge razor blade and made the slit deeper and cut the end off so that the center ejector rod comes out about 1/4 of an inch past the blue rubber end.They work perfect now, just carefully trim down until it works. When closed the white rod should stick out past the blue rubber.

Simply does not work
Plunger does not eject the pill. A totally useless gadget.

5 Questions · 9 Answers Ask & Answer.Talk to other pet lovers about this product.
Is this a one time use or can it be used multiple times? Alf needs 1/2 tablet of tramadol b.i.d. and it is very difficult to get it down his troat. Hiding the tablet in anything only means that he will no longer take what you hid the pill in.
AnswersAnswer:Â Multiple times. And after you're finished with it - I'm sure it will be in the landfill long after our species is gone...but it's worth it...
I see that this product is 100% guaranteed. How can I get my money back?
AnswersAnswersAnswer:Â Try putting the meds in cream cheese or peanut butter. Give a "blank" one first, (no meds in it) to get them eating it.
Answer:Â Whenever possible, purchase chewable tablets which your dog can eat like a treat. If that is not possible, try placing the pill inside a Pill Pocket, or inside a treat such as a piece of soft cheese. You can try mixing his medication in with his meal. The Pet Piller also makes administering medications easier.AnswersAnswer:Â kneel on the floor with the cat between your legs so it can not back away. Grasp the mouth just at the jaw hinge and press firmly. Not enough to hurt the cat. It will lift its head and open its mouth. Be ready to follow the head up so as to not loose your grip. Pop in the pill as far as you can.Answer:Â Stimulation of the gums works. Especially using a piller and rubbing the rubber tip on the cats gums on the side of her mouth. (Think of the gums above your teeth that touch the inside of your cheeks) Eventually she will open which gives you the opportunity to get the pill to her throat.
Answer:Â Place your hand over the cat's eyes with your thumb under one cheekbone and your middle finger under the other cheekbone. Squeeze gently and pull the cheekbones up and backward, forcing the cat to look up. (A little squeezing force will not harm the cat) You can then use your other hand to gently open his mouth by touching or gently pushing the front of his lower jaw down with one finger. Because the cat is looking up, the jaw should be easy to open. Drop the pill to the back of the cat's throat, then rub his throat to help him swallow.1 of 1 1 of 1
