For most cats and dogs, administering pills requires some effort. Here are 3 tips to help:
Hide the pill in a special food or treat that's only used at pill time. Open the capsule or crush the pill and mix with water to administer by syringe. Open your pet's mouth and place the pill in the very back of your pet’s mouth, massage the throat to make sure it's swallowed.Remember: Pets pick up on your feelings. If you feel good about what you are giving your pet, even the most stubborn pet can come around once they know you are trying to help them. If you are ambivalent, your pet may sense that and fight you harder. It’s important for you to feel confident and good about what you are administering, especially if you have a challenging pet.
