These are wonderful ideas, I wish I had seen this earlier. I had to help a friend hold down her dog so she could give him his medication. I didn’t like it but the dog was happy after.

Great tips. Amazing how we humans have to be tricky with the display of medicine hidden in treat and ready with a distraction. It usually works out.

Lol I know my father in law has a hard time getting them to take medicine. Definitely sharing this with him.

My friend has a dog that hates taking pills! I will share these tips with her and maybe it will help. Her Sophie is getting up there in age also and needs meds.

Awe, your pugs are adorable. We had a pug growing up and the hard thing with her was getting her to hold her mouth open because of the jowls. We too would do the trick Becca mentioned with a syringe, it was the only way we could get her to take it.

I work at a vet, and another thing we do is to push a syringe full of water in dogs mouths to help force them to swallow the pill since they have to swallow the water 🙂

These are great tips, thanks you so much for sharing! We plan getting our first puppy as a family soon and it’s been awhile since I’ve owned one so I can definitely use all the help I can get! 🙂
