Greenies Pill Pockets for Dogs Large Size, Soft Dog Treats, Hickory Smoke Flavor, 15.8 oz. Pouch (60 Treats)

The pill pockets are designed to insert a pill, pinch it closed and give it to the dog. Actually, I take some of the pill pocket and wrap it around the pills. This makes the pill smaller to take, and extends how long the bag lasts. I keep the bag sealed and as air free as possible. So I take a few and place in another small bag, keeping them as air free as possible. If you left the pockets out, exposed to air, they would loose their soft flexibility - defeating the purpose of using them. My dog needs to take 5 pills a day. Of those, 2 are 'chewable' and my picky dog has to have them wrapped too. As you probably have noticed 'chewable' pills are bigger than plain pills. That's where the flexibility to only use a partial pill pocket is excellent - other wise the pill plus pill pocket would be huge, and a nightmare to give a picky eater. The pills are wrapped, 3 in am and 2 in pm, tossed in the food dish with her meal, and she eats them. My other dogs will take the wrapped pills from my hand and gulp them down. The Hickory flavor seems to work better for my picky dog, the others don't care what flavor is used. I won't say every picky eater will consume them, but it works for me. I have not had any digestive issues with this product. It is helpful the pill pocket can be molded around whatever pill, tablet, or capsule you are trying to give your pet. I have previously used them for my cat, which is another story.

It does help my 35 lb. dog get her prednisone pills down, and she will act like she is getting a treat. She will do tricks for these. Other pills are hidden in various ways, resulting in a battle between human and beast. This one is her favorite flavor. These have been fresh enough so I can split one three ways to get her pills down. 5-2025

I have distinct memories of giving my dogs pills as a kid. Or shall I say I have distinct memories of the battles we had trying to give our dogs pills. One of our dogs was a master at the cheeking, no matter how much butter we put on it.Bless the makers of these pill pockets though. Gone are the days of rubbing the throat or having to check cheek pockets. Now I just pop the pill in one of these and my dog comes running. Some mornings she will only eat her pill pocket and wait to eat her breakfast later.I like that they are soft and quite malleable. Our dog had to be on a few pills post surgery and I found that I could sneak a few pills into each pill pocket.Even if you don't need to give your dog pills every day, these are still good to have one hand for those just in case moments.
