Giving Dogs Medication
There comes a point in an owner's life that he/she would need to administer medication to one's furry friend. Some dogs enjoy drinking medicine and eating pills, while others just plain hate it.

One of my dogs used to jerk her head the moment the syringe or pill approaches her mouth. Heck, she almost bit the vet who was trying to give it to her.

Anyway, here are just some tricks I've used in administering medication.

1. Burying the pill/capsule in cheese spread or peanut butter.
2. Placing it inside meat or wrapping it with their favorite treats.
3. Using the a syringe (without the needle) to slowly inject it in the corner of their mouth where a small pocket is located.

What tricks have you used to make them drink their meds?
