Anyone got any good tips for getting a pill down the throat of a dog, lol
Our Chow Chow needs to take his tablets but he just wont have it.
Tried wrapping it in ham, cheese.
Tried shoving it down his throat but he just spits it back up....lol
Any ideas?

"We got ours to take his antibiotics by breaking them up and putting them on toasted jam sandwiches
He does love a toast tho  "
just to stay they shouldn't have anything to do with any kind of grape. It causes renal failure |

maybe try peanut butter - it's sticky enough and lickable enough that it should get swallowed. Put a finger-full onto the roof of it's mouth and give it a good press in to it sticks well to the roof |

What's grapes go to do with jam ?
He doesn't like wine either, so should be OK ?  |

"Put to the back of his tongue hold his head up and mouth closed then gently rub his throat this encourages them to swallow."
Do this with mine, also helps to tell him good boy while doing it and give him a treat after  |

jams are usually strawberry - which is bad, or plumb .. again not good for them - could literally kill in days if they have reaction to the enzymes |

Keep him away from food for as long as it takes him to be really hungry. We have found they are more ready to swallow anything with their food then. Also, chocolate is terrible for dogs - you can get similar treats but dont give them our stuff - send it to me, if spare  Also keep your behaviour as close to normal feeding actions as possible, so that they are like pavlovs dogs and salivate ready for it. |

"Crush it between two teaspoons and mix.into a little bit of butter, hopefully he'll lick it up and want more!"
Definitely crush the tablet - I prefer to do it onto a saucer using the back of a spoon, but whichever way, the powder is absorbed onto the animal's tongue more easily. Mix the powder with something strong tasting - marmite, primula cheese etc. |

We cover ours in butter, then one of us holds it's mouth open and the other one shoots it in, sounds cruel but it's the only way we can do it with our cats, and we figure they still seem to love us so can't find it that bad lol |

Crushed and in a spoon of my breakfast yogurt... whatever i eat they want, worked really well.
Sister gives her dog cod liver oil tablets everyday as part of his morning routine... got him used to tablets. Just as well really as he is on tablets for life now 
Agree re our behaviour, they pick up on your nervousness and won't take it x |
