No one denies that somewhere in the world there are dogs that eat literally everything in their path, including medicine, but in most cases the dog's owner will have to work hard to "treat" the pet with a pill.
Let us note right away that using force is not the best idea.
Your dog will probably decide to use his teeth and, in addition, he will be left with an association that medicine is always painful and scary.
Instead, we recommend using cunning and, of course, gentleness - as a result, your pet will not even guess what exactly he swallowed.
To do this, open the dog's mouth and place the tablet on the root of the tongue. Here are instructions on how to do this.
1. Gently press your thumb and index finger into the gap between your dog's teeth to open the mouth.
2. Quickly but carefully place the tablet on the root of the tongue.
3. Lift the dog's muzzle up and stroke the neck to trigger the swallowing reflex.
4. When everything is done, praise the dog.
Earlier we talked about why a dog can sleep with its owner.
