our terrier would eat the food all around the pill and then she would eat the pill. Funniest thing to see. She lived to 20 years andwas well and loved.
I swear that dogs have secret pouches in there cheeks, which are good for pills and things they shouldn’t eat. I had one dog that could fine a pill in a pound of cheese.
I finally got both my dogs to take their pills (nearly impossible before) by using soft cheese with a smokey flavor and sticking the pills in the middle and rolling it into a ball. They think it’s the best treat ever!
she forgot to wrap the pill in cheese wrapped in bacon. A friend gives her ‘boys’ a treat after walkies, every night. Sometimes there’s a pill in the treat, sometimes not.
IllanoyGal01: It must go with the breed. Our fox terrier/beagle was that way about carrots. In a speed-eating contest sponsored by a pet food company, he finished a good 15 seconds ahead of the next competitor. And was immediately disqualified because within two feet of the dish was a large number of carrots but no sign the bowl had been used. I protested that he was a dog, not a rabbit, but it did no good.

As fast as my dog processes food out the other end, if we do not break up the pills I doubt the get digested.

So the dog thinks to himself: I outsmart them every time.

Reminds me of Farley from For Better or Worse – he wouldn’t eat peas.

My dog hated them and placed the pills on the floor. Then he figured out that they made him feel better and were a treat.

Hold their muzzles upward and stroke their throat downward. They will have to swallow..That’s strange, Kojo doesn’t look like a spitz.

Umm… after 3 hours, wouldn’t the pill have broken down at least a good measure in the mouth (creating an awful taste and some benefit)? :-s
