Every pet owner may face the need to give a dog a pill, following the recommendations of a veterinarian.
The problem is that our four-legged friends smell the medicine and often refuse to swallow it.
In such a situation, you should never force the animal to take the drug.
It's better to be cunning and make it so that the dog doesn't even realize that it swallowed a pill.
How should the owner act?
A surefire option is to hide the pill in your dog's favorite food in a certain way.
It is necessary to avoid a situation where the pet eats all the food, leaving the medicine in the bowl.
To prevent this from happening, hide the whole or crushed tablet in one of the small meat or cheese balls. The yolk of a boiled egg can also be the basis of the delicacy.
Throw the balls so that the dog starts catching them. Your pet will definitely enjoy this entertainment.
First, use food that does not contain medicine. Sooner or later, the dog will become very immersed in the game and will swallow the food immediately without chewing it. At this point, throw the dog a ball with a pill in it. Most likely, the pet will not even understand that it has been “deceived.”
Another way
If the dog owner is willing to spend money, then special “pockets” for pills can be purchased.
They are a special "masking" treat in which you can put medicine. The smell of the latter will not be felt by the animal.
