We have a Golden Retriever that has always had allergies. One thing that has always been a pain until now is getting him to take down large antibiotic pills. We have tried many different ways including just stuffing them down his throat. We first tried stuffing the pills in bread, then in chicken and other meats but he quickly would figure it out and either refuse to eat it or find a way to shake his face and spit it out.

If this happens to you I have found a product that solves all of that. Greenies pill pockets. They are a soft pill holding treat that is malleable enough to hold even a large pill. You mold it around the pill and my dog will gobble them down every time. No more shoving it down his throat and hoping he wont spit it out.

If your furry friends have a problem taking in pills this is the best thing I have found. I bought them from amazon.
