Excellent. Idea for the Getting of Pills Down Your Reluctant Canine : Remarkably Painfree for Human and Canine Alike.
I have been using these Greenies Pill Pockets since they first appeared on the market, several years ago. I have to say that this is one of those great ideas that was just waiting to happen, Greenies is to be praised and commended to the heavens above for actually developing the idea, and producing the product. Canine owners everywhere owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Greenies.In the far distant, and wretched past – giving pills (capsules and tablets) to ones faithful friend and loyal companion was something to be feared and dreaded, by both parties involved. This was an activity to be greeted with the enthusiasm that accompanies toe-nail trimming day (Another great idea out there waiting to happen, someone please find a way to remove the terror of toenail clipping time from the hearts of both man and beast.). However, with the advent of Pill Pockets, life is sweet again, tranquility rules supreme, and both owner and fur buddy can now be at peace with the world, and with each other.These pill pockets are ingeniously designed little cup-like appearing objects, they are round or oblong (Depending upon your choice of the capsule, or the tablet version of the Pill Pocket), and have much the texture of fresh Play-Doh, that has been warmed in the hands until soft and malleable. The composition of this material appears to be something that holds tremendous appeal for ones happy dog, who no longer flees in terror at the mere sound of a rattling pill bottle.One takes the pill or capsule, places it in the cavity of the Pill Pocket, then squishes the Pill Pocket closed, into the desired shape for the canine in question. By this point in time, your friendly canine has picked-up on the tantalizing aroma of the Pill Pockets, and is probably quivering., shaking, possibly offering to shake hands or to lie down……..anything that will enable the Pill Pocket to be quickly introduced into the gaping maw of the pet in question.What a relief, no more chasing the pet down, cornering the terrified animal, wrenching its jaws open with brute force, and somehow (Hopefully.) jamming the pill far enough down the throat of the violently resisting pet in order to clamp its jaws shut again, massaging its throat all the while (And somehow managing to keep a firm hold on the pet through all of these machinations.), and hoping with all ones heart the the pill has actually been swallowed, instead of being cleverly concealed in the corner of said pets mouth, only to be violently ejected as one releases the beloved fur kid, and watches the rear portion of the pets anatomy as it rapidly, and with great agility disappears to places unknown……this causing a repeat of the entire wretched, and disheartening procedure..Well, those days are over. Pet owners everywhere can rejoice in their new lives of ease and happiness, while at the same time not being subjected to the reproachful and betrayed glances of their beloved fur kids. Just place the pill in the pocket, hand it to your happy and panting buddy, and the job is done. Everyone is happy, your best friend has just enjoyed a delightful snack, and is probably begging for more, and the pet’s human is enjoying the relaxed atmosphere, and the lack of bitten and mangled hands and fingers that were the inevitable, and unavoidable result of the other positively medieval manner of pet medicating, in days gone past.I maimtain a ready supply of of both styles of Pill Pockets at all times. When the package begins to run low. I immediately dash to my trusty computer and order more, via Amazon Prime. The brilliant geniuses at Greenies are to be commended, upon bended knee for their dream of an invention, which maintains tranquility in the hearts of both man and beast.These Pill.Pockets are best stored inside of their closed bag, which is then placed inside of another zipper plastic bag, this ensures that the Pockets maintain their pliability, and the aroma so pleasing to the olfactory senses of canines everywhere.These Pockets are not cheap, but I would rather go without food for a week, than to have to resort to the hideous pill-giving methods of days of yore.These Pill Pockets work, they do what they say they will do, and they help to maintain your peaceful, loving, and adoring connection with your beloved fur kid. I recommend these most highly, just the absence of mangled and chewed fingers is worth the price alone, not to mention the happiness and peace that you are granting your pet through the use of these wonderful Pill Pockets.DISCLAIMER:( Upon spell-checking this glowing review, it occurs to me that I probably should mention that I have absolutely no connection to the Greenies Pill Pocket people. I have no .idea of where they are located, or any knowledge of them, or of any of their employees or associates. I paid for these with my own hard-earned cash. No freebies, coupons, or gift codes were involved in the purchase of these Pill Pockets. I am just a really grateful dog owner, and a survivor of too many years of what used to be the sheer misery of pill administration to my beloved canines.)

Did the job!
To be fair, my boy doesn’t even chew these… my old dog did & would spit the pill out. But they both liked the pill pouch :). Easy to use and worth a try if your pup needs meds.

Our beloved Panda had cancer and would not eat. We were able to get his steroids into these and he ate one each morning. I guess he liked the taste and he seemed to enjoy the weird gummy texture. The steroids stimulated his appetite so he was able to eat. We were able to love him a little longer because of these.

Leider ist unser Golden Retriever allergisch und muss täglich 2×2 Tabletten einnehmen. Da die Tabletten im Napf liegen bleiben, kann ich sie nicht mit den Mahlzeiten verabreichen. Diese Pill Pockets kenne ich aus den USA. In Deutschland bekommt man leider keine gleichwertige, kostengünstige Variante. Sie sind auch so lecker für den Hund, dass er die Tabletten darin eingewickelt immer anstandslos und sogar mit Freude schluckt.

We have a couple of dogs who just would not take their worming tablets. Tried all the usual tricks – hide in food, wrap in ham, cover in pate or peanut butter…. No good. But the pill pockets fooled them and all the tablets were taken with no problem. At first I gave them a couple without any tablet inside just to get them used to the taste then added the filled pockets to their food. All gone!Couple of points to note. The pill pockets are not that big so I had to break tablets in half and so use twice the number of pockets. Also they are quite expensive. We only need to use them for worming tablets, so only every few months, which is fine – but if you have a dog that needs daily tablets it could get very expensive.
