Is your Chow Chow a good pill taker? Some dogs have no trouble while others may protest or even snap at you. Whether it’s a vitamin, flee prevention, or even an antibiotic some dogs just don’t want to chew or swallow pills. If your vet prescribes a medication in pill form for your Chow Chow ask for suggestions on how to get your dog to actually take the pill. Some pet owners find that placing the pill in a ‘pill pocket’ or soft treat will do the trick. You can also try mixing the pill in your dog’s food or even covering it in peanut butter before giving it to him. If disguising the pill doesn’t work, try placing the pill in your dog’s mouth yourself. Ask your vet to demonstrate the correct way to place the pill in your dog’s mouth. If you still have trouble, request a chewable alternative from your veterinary clinic South Dade, FL. For more details, click here.
