Little Greenies or whatever it's called as pill wraps that dog can't see the pill in and will wolf it down.

I had a dog who was really smart and would eat around the pill if we wrapped it in something, no matter what that something was.  I wish we had known about the pill wraps before she died because she would have eaten that, but we didn't discover the wraps until May.

That's a lot easier than giving a pill to a cat. :D
:D  They have pill wraps for cat pills, too. XD

Doesn't matter what you put a pill in, my dog will cough or spit it back up/out almost instantly...

Knowing my dog and her appetite for nearly everything (literally...), she'd probably eat the pill straight up off of the floor...lol  :laugh:.

Two words: Peanut Butter

Works wonders and it's always funny to see them try to get it off the roof of their mouth.

My little dog seems to have picked up from Freeway.  She now knows when there's a pill in food and she can tuck the pill behind her tongue, pretend to swallow, before spitting it out.
