Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and I was wondering if anyone could help me solve my problem… I have a dog who’s name is Elvis and a cat who’s name is Princess! I’ve discovered that Elvis had worms, (is it possible that he got from other pets???) so I want to my vet and he gave him a de-worming medication in a tablet form but he wouldn’t swallow it!! I didn’t want to use too much force so I tried wrapping it with some sausage but he some how figured it out! please help me!! Tami

There is another post here about Pill Pockets, which seem to work pretty well. You can also straddle the dog, facing the same direction, gently open the mouth and pop in the pill, hold mouth closed and point his nose slightly upward. Stroke the throat until he swallows. Coating the pill in honey may help it slide down.
If all else fails, ask your veterinarian to show you how to give a pill. You'll need to worm your dog every three months, so it's a skill worth picking up.
Good Luck.

Hi Tami! about five months ago my dog Angie suffered from worms. my friend told me to buy a de-worming pill and mix it with some chicken but Angie figured it out and only ate a quarter… that happened a couple of times unlit two months ago I’ve found a solution in a form of dry food that my Angie really liked and I didn’t have to force her at all !!! you should try it … Tasties Worm-Out
