On many occasions we are forced to give our pet medication for some problem. This becomes complicated in some cases, especially since they detect the strange taste and usually avoid taking the pills that we give them. Sometimes it is almost impossible to get them to take the pills that are necessary for them, but there are ways to fool the smartest dogs.
How many times have we not given them a pill and they have spit it out in front of us. It is somewhat difficult to have to give our pet pills, especially when it does not collaborate. And since we cannot make them understand that they have to take them, we must know some tricks that can help us to facilitate this task.
One of the simplest and easiest tricks we have to give the dog the pills is to mix them in your food. We must know that they have an infallible nose, but sometimes they eat so eagerly that they do not realize it. If your dog is one of those who does not eat with such interest, he may detect the smell of the pill and leave it.
In this case you must resort to look for an award that you like a lot, like a sausage and put the pill inside it, so that they eat it without realizing it. If they still spit it out because they find it, you always have to take the next step, which is to deceive them. You can go giving chunks of sausage without a pill, and in the middle strain the one that does have the pill. In the vast majority of cases they trust themselves and eat almost without chewing it so they do not realize it.
If all this has not worked, you will have to be one of those who give them the lozenge directly into the mouth like vets do. It is more difficult, and you have to put it down their throat so they don't spit it out with their tongue. We close their mouths so they can swallow and that's it. They do not like this method and it is uncomfortable so we only have to resort if we are not able to deceive them with food.
