Vetoquinol Pill Wrap Treats for Dogs & Cats – 4oz, 56 servings – Hides Any Size, Shaped Pill – Moist, Flavorful & Shapeable Pill Pocket Paste – Easy-to-Swallow Masking Pill Pouch for Training & Treats

One of our cats recently developed heart problems and had to take medicine daily. He's the most nervous and easily frightened cat of the dozen or so we've had so grabbing him to squirt medicine in his mouth was incredibly difficult. And I'm sure he was terrified every time we did it. But we learned from our vet of a service called MixLabs that mix the medicine into an edible "treat". He hates taking medicine and even in treat form, he refuses to take it. We found this product and figured it was worth a shot and it has worked perfectly. We wrap the pill/treat in some of this stuff and he eats it right up. It has made ours and his life so much easier. It's basically like bacon flavored Play-Doh. You just pull out a little bit and wrap the pill or whatever in it. Make sure that the pill stays within the wrap and doesn't touch any of the exterior. Your pet will smell the meds if it touches the outside of the wrap.One trick we do is to stick a crunchy treat on the side. The pill wrap is kind of slick and it sometimes is difficult for my cat to pick up and keep in his mouth while chewing. The dry treat gives his tongue something to grip while he licks it up and chews it. And it masks the smell of the medicine even more.This stuff is kind of expensive but it's worth every penny to us. Before the pill wrap, our cat was always nervous around us and scared that we'd pick him up and squirt horrible medicine in his mouth. But now he just happily takes his medicine and isn't worried around us.

This stuff is amazing. Even when my cat crunches down on the paste-wrapped pill and I'm sure she'll taste the pill and spit it back out, she finishes eating it. She's been so hard to give pills to in the past. She's really good at spitting pills out when they're wrapped in cream cheese, pill pockets, etc, so this is a lifesaver. I thought I would just be using it to wrap a pill up so I could throw it down her throat without her tasting it, but she surprised me and just gobbled it right up.It's kind of expensive, but worth it. If anything else worked, I'd be using it.Update: My smarter cat has caught on and stopped eating the pills wrapped in this paste, so I'm just wrapping the pill in a tiny bit of this paste to help it go down easier when I toss it down her throat. But, my stupider one still happily chomps down like he's getting a treat, so it's still worth it.

My vet recommended this pill wrap to me. It is the one they use in their office. It is the easiest way I've ever found to get a pill down a dog. It even worked for my cat the one time I tried it on him. It's like bacon flavored silly putty - you just wrap up the tablet in as little or as much as you need to mask the taste. How much I use depends on how big the pill is and how cooperative the dog is going to be. Use a little more for less cooperative animals or larger pills. My little dog just scarfs it down and it's the easiest thing ever. I just make sure I offer the wrapped pill for him to take from my outstretched hand and watch him eat it right there, rather than tossing it to him or letting him grab it and run off. That way I'm sure the meds got into the dog. I can even use it to differentiate pre-wrapped dosages or meds. I just shape it into a ball for the morning dose and into an oval for the afternoon dose. This stuff is versatile and so useful. The little containers are good for small-item storage after the pill wrap is gone, too!

I have a very picky dog. He has to only eat hydrolized protein. I put pieces on this in his food and he eats. Truly a life safer for my dog. It also works well for pill delivery. I was told about this product by an emergency animal clinic. They didn’t even sell it so I know they weren’t into to make money.

Update: I can't get the cats to chew these up like treats, probably because If they chew it, they still get the taste of the pill. What I learned though, is that some pills taste so nasty that your cat will vomit after you give it to them with a pill shooter. In that case, you can put the pill inside this stuff and use the pill shooter to make them swallow it. They don't get any taste of their steroid, and don't vomit. It also helps pills go down easier.I have three older cats, and they all need to take medicine and one had stopped taking it with pill pockets. I bought this in desperation too try to avoid using the pill shooter with her. The first time I offered these to her with her pills inside, she practically inhaled them! I was so relieved! It worked for two, maybe three days, now she won't have anything to do with this stuff. After getting such good initial results with her, I tried it for the other two cats, whose reaction was similar to the first one's, except that where they used to grudgingly take their meds in pill pockets, now I have to use the pill shooter on all three. The good news, the stuff really does smell like bacon, it's not unpleasant to handle. And its consistency is sort of like a stiff clay, so your fingers don't feel gross after handling it.

The other major pill wrap brand's primary ingredient is chicken which my cat can't eat because of a protein intolerance. He tolerates this wrap fine as it doesn't appear to contain any animal proteins.

Using this product is the only way to get my dog to take her pills.
