Your dog listens to you pretty well, and she is generally a well-behaved companion. However, there is one task you have trouble getting her to perform – taking a pill. How can you help her take medication when she needs it?

Your pet doesn’t understand what a pill is or why it could be helpful to her. All she takes note of is that it doesn’t seem like food, so she instinctually doesn’t want to eat it in order to keep herself safe. This means that you will need to make her think that her medication is something tasty to munch on so you can get her to ingest it. Placing it in with other food is a great way to make this happen, as she is likely to eat it without even noticing it was in there.
