Are they flavored so that my dog will not spit them out? Or do you have to put them in a pill pocket or hide them in peanut butter?

My Husky spit it out, she thinks it's nasty. I have to put it in peanut butter for her. My border collie though, she eats just about anything she will eat it plain but I just put it in peanut butter anyway because the extra protein is really good and it doesn't hurt anything. So I say just put it in peanut butter anyway.

as I kid it was my job to give my dog her daily heartworm pills (1980-1988) so I'm a pro at giving pills. You just pinch the jaws at the joint and put the pill far back on their tongue, then hold the mouth shut so they don't have a choice. give that a try

I haven't actually taste them, so I can't attest to flavor, but dog #1 who takes them doesn't need them to be 'hidden', so I doubt they are bitter. Dog #2 has her's dressed with a dab of butter, and she doesn't object to eating them that way. Neither one spits them out (but I do put them in their food bowls with their breakfast rather than trying to feed them to them independently of a meal.)

My lab won't eat the pills either. I make a big deal out of the chews like they are an after meal treat. I cut them into pieces (x8) and feed them to her which she loves. When I first got them for her I crumbled one onto her food (can + dry) like Parmesan cheese on spaghetti. Maybe you can buy some samples from your vet to see what your dog thinks before you buy a whole bag...my dog is 14 and still walks 1-2 miles with me at a slow pace.

I don't know if it's flavored but I have no problem with my dog taking it. There is always pill pockets you can use if your cat won't take it straight.

I get the chewable. at first, my dog would eat thosewithout mixing them with anything. However she did quit accepting them after a while. So now I cross them and mix them in with her breakfast food. although technically they aren't supposed to be taken with food, it's the only way I can get her to eat them and my vet said it was okay, better than her not getting them at all.the chewable are larger in size than the regular tablets, but much easier to crush. I use a mortar and pestle, just in case you can't get your dog to chew them

The tablets are chewable but if your dog is like mine he/she wont just chew it. I put it in ice cream or either stick it in the back of my dogs mouth or throat and then hold her nose closed and slightly blow in her face for a few seconds so she will swallow it.

My dog doesn't like them at all, but they have really been helping her. I break them in fourths, and then act like either a toy or I am going to get it. She gets protective and eats them so that we don't get them. I tried putting them in her food, even broken in small pieces, and she was still able to pick them out. Cream cheese, as others have mentioned, does work with these, but not always. I normally give her pills in velveeta cheese slices (softer and gooshier than other brands), but it doesn't work as well with these. It's probably a bad method to "tease" her into eating them, but it works. I then always praise her like crazy and sometimes give her one of her favorite treats afterwards.

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

My Sophie is very suspicious of "pills". Therefore I coat the pill with peanut butter, and she chews it down eagerly.

These are chips. I don't believe they are actual rawhides. Maybe they have rawhides ground up and mixed with other ingredients. They appear to look (and feel) almost spungy and lite. The positive thing I can say about them is that my don't choke on them as often as they did on the actual rawhides. But my dogs also consume them in what seems like a minute. The actual rawhides would take maybe five plus minutes before they were gone. It also took my dogs a little while to get used to them. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure cuz my dog is 90 pounds and I just push it into the back of her throat and she swallows it easily. My friends pug chews them up and eats them but she will eat most anything! They say chewable on the bottle so they probably are sort of tasty.

My dog, though not too picky, loves the chicken flavored Pill Pockets. He is 25# and takes 5 medications twice a day. I cut up the Pill Pocket capsule size into 1/4s and wrap it around the pill(s) thus making the bites a little smaller and making the Pockets go a little farther! FYI he did not like the duck flavored ones. He has been taking these for 9-10 months.

I buy the soft low fat cheese by laughing cow you can completely encase the pill and the dog will not know it is there . My dog loves it she does not even know pill there or she would spit it. I can use one of the triangles 5 days. I put it in zip loc so it does not dry out. I tell my dog time for cheese and she comes running.

I had not noticed any but I just went and stuck my face in the bag and no they don't. My dog is picky about snacks and she eats them fine. As I said she is only 5 1/2 lb.so I have to break them in half even though they are small and are soft to chew. I want to echo the answer before mine THESE ARE NOT TREATS use them as directed.

I haven't tried them myself but we just put them in the bowl with our dog's dry food and she eats them right along with the food. They are a little softer than dry food. Our dog is ten lbs. so we give a half pill twice daily. She was limping when she would get up and no longer does that. Been using at least one year.

Yes, there is a beef flavor added to the pills. I haven't tried giving them to my dog directly, but when added to a meal my dog has never hesitated to consume them with her food.

I tried the tablets with my american bulldog, they were not her favorite although with some coaxing (peanut butter and pretending it was a treat it still took a while to get her to actually eat them) she would get them down. The soft chews are just so much easier for me, as she views them as a treat I never have to put in any effort to make sure she eats them.

I've "pre-packaged" the pills into pre-measured DRY dogfood in daily ziplocs (as I feed my dog once a day) the pills have kept very well in a cool dry place. I've "stuffed" up to 3 capsules into one pill pocket. You do have "to work" the "pill pocket", compressing and molding a ball but I do it all the time. Sometimes I lightly dampen my fingers as the product does initially crumble but don't lose patience as it takes a bit longer to be successful at it.
