Does your Bluetick Coonhound need to take a supplement or medication in pill form that isn’t chewable? As much as dogs hate taking pills and as much as owners hate having to make their dogs take a pill, sometimes there’s no alternative. If this is the case for you then you may want to try a few tricks to help your dog take his pills. Some owners use pill pockets to hide the pills. These pockets are in the form of soft treats. They have a shallow inside where you can stick the pill. If that doesn’t work, try smothering the pill in peanut butter to disguise it or even stuff the pill inside a cookie. If all else fails, you will need to place the pill on the back of your hound’s tongue and gently hold his mouth shut until he swallows. If you’re uncomfortable with this ask your vet services Salem, VA for help.
