We have a 5 year old Jack Russell who will not eat worming tablets. The ones we use are bone shaped and 'flavoured' but even if we grind it up and mix it with chicken and rice he smells it and won't eat his lunch....
Anyone got any better suggestions? As you can see from the pic, he is looking sheepish...
Hi
I know exactly where you are coming from I've tried everything but some one just told me to try marsbars

Garlic and other Allium sp are also poisonous to dogs. Good list here https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/media/605397/pois...
Panacur doesn't cover all the worms you want to cover, I would use Milbemax / Milquantel or Drontal / cit if you are using something else to cover lungworm.

Cheese triangle with the tablet squished into the middle. By the time they have realised there is a tablet in they have swallowed it
Any bit of cheese works for this..... We have three rounds of meds to give to our old boy three times a day not counting the Seraquin he gets as a side.
When I give him his tabs I usually cut a round of processed ham into quarters, wrap a quarter around the pill then when offering it to him shove it in his gob with a helping finger to pop it down the back of his mouth, seems to do the trick most times.
Had a bit more of a hard time trying to get chemo meds down the girl when she was ill and no interest in food, had to resort to a pill squirter thing and a wrestle, no fun for either of us.
