Tips for Giving Your Cat or Dog Its Medication

Giving your pet its medication may not always be an easy task. But before getting frustrated, here are some options you have:


	Hide your pet's pill inside a treat. You can choose to hide the pill in a Greenies Pill Pocket, or wrapped inside deli meat or cheese.

Finicky pet? Simplify the process of giving your pet its medication with a pill syring or pill pocket.

Hiding your pet's medications in food may not always work as planned, especially for pets that are finicky.


	Crush and mix into pet's food. Some tablets may be crushed and mixed into your pet's food. But you should ask your veterinarian first before doing so, because some pills contain a medicated coating.


	Try a pill syringe. If your pet is finicky, you might want to try a pill syringe. This tools places the medication in the back of the mouth, preventing pets from spitting the pill out.

Max's Tip: Check with your pharmacist or veterinarian before crushing any pill, especially those that are long-acting or those that have a special coating (ex: Theophylline, Denosyl, and Glipizide)
