Your dog is a part of your family, and you want to help him with anything that he needs. When it comes time to take a pill, your dog may not exactly be excited about the idea. There is a chance he will eat it on his own, but this is remote. If your dog is like most, he will need a bit of coaxing.

Your dog loves it when mealtime comes around, and you can take advantage of his enthusiasm and place a pill inside his food. This way, there is a good chance that he will swallow it along with the rest of his food.  If this isn’t enough concealment, your pet can also enjoy a treat while unknowingly taking his medication. Hide his pill in an item that will conceal it nicely. Rolled up meat and a small scoop of peanut butter tend to work quite well. Your local Columbia, MD vet can offer additional guidance.
