Getting the dog to eat worming tablets - help needed...

[trando]

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...

Thanks all. Some great ideas there! Given the cost of these tablets (£4 each!!!) we need to find a solution that works as we have already wasted one... We love Freddie to bits but sometimes we think he's far too clever for his good!! The pâté idea sounds interesting...

We use Drontal worming tablets. Are there any other brands?? That's all we get from our vet...

Soft bread and marg (or peanut butter) molded around the tablet

Pretend to drop it on the floor, that is how I tricked our dog into wolfing it down

Both worked brilliantly!

Thanks for everyone's contributions...
