I actually have a dog who sorts out the pills from the food.... He's a right git, if you give him a sandwhich he'll even remove the meat from the bread and eat the meat, then lick the butter, then leave the bread.................

1. Check with vet if it can be crushed into water.
2. Inject into cats mouth. Sans needle obviously using a syringe, works a treat.


Sorry, not as long....

Its easy, we have to give one of ours a heart pill daily

1 Buy some cat treats called defurums
2 Break open a defurum and push pill or half pill into the centre and close defurum back up (you will see what I mean when u do it)
3 Feed defurum to cat (they love them)
4 Repeat with other half of pill if necessary

This works so well our cat actually comes home at 4.05pm on the dot every day for his cat treat with tablet inside

Our cats will eat pretty much anything that has been moistened and rolled in Aquarian fish food flakes.
