If your pooch is sick, it can also be really stressful for you. Having to clean up accidental messes, worrying about their health, and having to wrestle the medicine into their mouths can be pretty overwhelming. If you’re lucky, you can just throw the pill in with the dog food, and your dog will just gobble it up. For my dogs, we’d wrap the pill in a slice of American cheese and give it to them. The dogs happily ate it up, and thought they were getting a treat.
If your dog is super picky, however, you might need to get a little more creative. This post by Lynne at 365 Days of Baking and More came up with an awesome solution- DIY dog “pill pockets” made out of peanut butter, milk, and flour. Check out her recipe here:
-Create a dough out of all ingredients
-Roll into 12 small balls
-Add an indentation for the pill (using the tip of a meat thermometer or a straw)
-Store in the fridge
