Your dog is an adorable little fur ball, and you want him to be happy at all times. However, this may not always be possible, particularly when he isn’t feeling well. How can you help him take the medication his vet has given him so he can feel better?

Your pet may not be particularly interested in taking a pill, and with good reason. He instinctually shies away from eating items that he doesn’t recognize as food so he can help keep his body safe. Pills generally fall into this category, so you will need to convince him otherwise. Place the pill in a food item you know he will be eager to consume so he won’t inspect it too much. This way, he is likely to scarf it down without even realizing he did so. For more information, please contact your local Newmarket, ON vet clinic.
