De-worming for dogs

[clearyw]

Hi!
I’m a huge animal lover and I was wondering if anyone could help me solve
my problem…
I have a dog who’s name is Elvis and a cat who’s name is Princess!
I’ve discovered that Elvis had worms, (is it possible that he got from other pets???)
so I want to my vet and he gave him a de-worming medication in a tablet form but he wouldn’t swallow it!!
I didn’t want to use too much force so I tried wrapping it with some sausage but he some how figured it out!
please help me!!

Our rottie used to do the same thing taking pills. What I had to do was put the pill as far back in their mouth as I good, hold his mouth closed and tilt his head back. He swallowed the pills after a couple of seconds.

Hope this helps.

Some dogs can be buggers though! If he doesn't swallow, try blowing on his nose. And don't worry about using too much force... As long as you don't hurt him, I'm sure he'll forgive you :cool: just give him a hug once he's eaten it

Peanut butter works good. Just put the pill in some peanut butter and give it to him. Some dogs don't like peanut butter but it's worth a try. The toy poodle I had was smart and he knew the pill was in it and wouldn't eat it but I managed to get the pill down him. :( Hope this helps!

about five months ago my dog Angie suffered from worms.
my friend told me to buy a de-worming pill and mix it with some chicken but
Angie figured it out and only ate a quarter…
that happened a couple of times unlit two months ago I’ve found a solution in a form of dry food that my Angie really liked and I didn’t have to force her at all !!!
you should try it …
