How to Give a Dog a Pill.
From personal experience, giving a dog a pill can be a difficult task, resulting in the dog having the last laugh, and you being covered in drool!! Take the pill and get it ready in your main (left/right)hand. Have the dog sit down, and go behind them, so the dog is just between your legs. Don't lean over or stare them in the eyes for a prolonged period of time, else they will think you are being dominating. Slowly and carefully, open their mouth, and pop the pill at the back of the tongue, without pushing it too far. Close their mouth, and lift their head up slightly, so they are looking upwards to a point between your head and theirs. Slowly stroke the underside of their mouth, chin, and neck, stopping just before the chest, repeatedly until the dog gulps. Check carefully that the pill is not down the side of the teeth, and let their head go, watching carefully for any floor sniffing and sneaky depositing of the offending pill! Alternatively, if your dog loves his food, a pill submerged well into a small piece of cheese or meat, is a very good way of getting the pill in also. Above all, be careful and take your time. The dog does not know what you are doing is to help him, and a scare here can make future pill giving extremely difficult. Make sure it does not turn into a battle of wills! If all else fails, try grinding it up over their food. |
