How to Give a Dog a Pill – Vlog 70

July 19, 2019

????What is the easiest way to give your dog a pill? What foods in your kitchen are most helpful to get those pills down? Here’s how to increase your success of getting medications into your pet. ????Giving oral medications to your pet can be a challenge for many pet parents. Fortunately, pilling a pet is not an impossible task once you learn a few tricks. ????Plus, when your pet absolutely won’t take a pill in food, we show you how to pill your pet. – PLEASE never try to administer a pill forcefully to a dog or cat with a painful mouth or neck. – If your pet is growling or becomes fearful, STOP and abort the pilling mission. – Even if the medication is important for your pet’s health well-being, it is best to use good judgment and avoid getting bit. – Please contact your veterinarian who prescribed the medication for additional recommendations about what to do if you cannot get the medication in.
