Put it in a piece of hotdog.

This is the way.

But do they ever taste good? Our daughter taught our great Dane to open his mouth wide, and she just sticks it in the back after his tongue. He has to do it every day for life. If we hide it in food, he discovers it every single time and ejects it.

I have tried this with my dog and in her first instinct she smells it and rejects it but when I break a piece and place it in her mouth she seems to eat the rest of it. But I suppose different things have different taste and dogs may not like the taste of everything.

Ya, every dog is a bit different. Just work down the list of options and find the one that works.

I like sticking it in a piece of bread and mushing it in a ball. For a picky dog, sometimes I’ll put some BBQ sauce on it.

That’s a good idea as well.

If things get desperate I’ll bust out the bologna lol

Great idea, noted for next time, txs!

And if it doesn't taste good you're screwed?

Easy-Race9835 OP t1_je33qw6 wrote on March 29, 2023 at 1:33 AM

Maybe dipping on BBQ sauce can do the job 🧐

I just ask her if she wants a treat and gave her a pill instead. Silly girl was too excited for a treat that she just gulped it down. I usually felt bad for tricking her and gave her a piece of cheese after but she never caught on to the trick. She would also sneak and eat cat poop though so 🤷‍♂️

LPT: If your dog doesn’t want to eat their medication or their treats, try breaking a very small piece of it and place it on their tongue. Their taste buds will absorb the flavor and if it tastes good, they will automatically go for the bigger chunks.
