Lol Layla can figure it out if she's taking them for long enough. This time around, it's still pretty early! She also gets sick of certain foods so she won't take them anymore, so this time we're switching it up each time - banana, cheese, meat, whatever we can hide it in! And it helps having the other two dogs around in her face... she knows if it's really a treat and she puts it down for even a second, someone else will get it. So she will swallow without even thinking about it!

Jazzi can pick a pill out of anything you give her!! I've found that just pushing it down her throat works best. She is so smart!!

That's how we do it with ours too, just put down their throat and rub it a bit. Then give them a treat or something afterwards.

It just makes me smile thinking about all the funny ways our doggies have...... Harvey watches what i am doing that attentively, he just knows i am hiding the pill, even tried putting him outside and he still somehow seems to know????

What we do now is get his pain med in syrup, and give him that in a syringe.... even that can be a battle, I think it is much easier with a dog that loves his food, easier to trick them, and like has been suggested, if there are other dogs around too.
