The Easiest Ways To Give Your Dog Pills

Have you ever wondered what some easy ways are to
give your dog glucosamine pills when needed? We
have some suggestions after years of practice!
We have had as many as 6 dogs at one time in the
past, so we have had plenty of opportunity to
learn some easy ways to give canines tablets or
pills.

Most vets will simply tell you to take the pill
and use your fingers to push it to the far back
of the dog's throat. There is a point that when
the tablet gets pushed back so far that the
dog's swallowing reflex kicks in and he will
automatically swallow it. The trick is simply
pushing it back into the throat far enough.

Many pet owners do not like the idea of ramming
something like this down their pet's throat.
Although it does not seem to hurt the dog, they
usually do resist the process and thus it makes
it seem like it might not be the nicest thing to
do for a loved pet.

One method we have found that works really well
is to simply fake the dog out with a treat
covered in peanut butter. Actually, even if you
do not have a treat, you can simply use a small
piece of bread covered in peanut butter with the
pill wrapped inside. This method works very well
and always results in the dog swallowing the
glucosamine pill. There are times with the first
method that the dog will end up spitting the pill
out if it is not pushed back far enough.

Another method we have used that works really
well is to place some dog steak sauce on top of
their food at meal time and place the capsule on
the sauce. You can buy these canine steak sauces
at the large pet supply stores or online. The
sauces come in a variety of flavors but about
any of them will work just fine since dogs are
not very picky when it comes to such things.

Hopefully, the next time your vet gives you
glucosamine tablets or pills for your pet, these
tips will help make the process of giving them to
your dog much easier. No longer should you dread
the process of getting your dog to take capsules
or tablets. These methods can be used for giving
pills to any aged dog at any time.
