Many dogs do not like to take their medicine. If you put it in their dog dish with their food they will eat around the pill. If you just give it to them they either will not take it or spit it out. What are you to dog when the dog has to take his medicine? Usually, a dog is given medicine for a medical condition of some type that the medicine will help them get better or improve their condition.
At the dog kennel in Portland we have many different methods of giving medication. This may be one reason that most kennels charge for providing medication to a dog, because it usually is not an easy task. One method is rolling a ball of cheese up and putting the pill in there. Most dogs swallow the pill right away with no trouble. Peanut Butter can also be used for this same trick. Sometimes sticking a pill in a hot dog will also fool your pet and he will eat his pill without knowing it. Another method is to feed your dog some canned food, and to stick the pill in this. A lot of dogs love canned food and will eat it up right away. If you do not like giving your dog canned food just give him a little bit with the pill and usually they eat it up right way.
Those are some of the methods we use at the dog boarding kennel in Portland. We have found that usually one of these methods work to encourage the dog take his pill while they are being boarded or attending doggy day care.
