My Sheltie has to take two pills twice a day and will have to for the rest of her life. Through trial and error (and a lot of messy peanut butter and crackers) we found that MARSHMALLOWS make an excellent pill pocket! We simply push the pill into a marshmallow and Zoe gobbles it up! Although we have about a 99% success rate, it is wise to keep an eye on her while she chews to make sure she doesn't surreptitiously spit it onto the floor. I believe she has discovered that if she spits it out she gets another marshmallow.
She (and our Labrador, Jake) both love 'medicine time' so much that they will not let us accidentally forget to give her the medicine! They will come find us and notify us quickly of our error!
