Any dog owner who has wrestled with pulling puppy’s jaws open, holding that sharp-toothed little mouth while simultaneously dropping a pill in, then attempting to keep those jaws that are amazingly strong for such a small creature shut – all to make sure pills actually get swallowed – understands why pill pockets are so wonderful.

Appetizing option

They have an irresistible scent that hides the pill from even the smartest German Shepherds in your pack. GREENIES

It’s great when medication time becomes a stress-free treat time. Greenies help make that happen. Are you tired of trying to hide pills in peanut butter only to end up with messy fingers and a spit-up pill on the floor? These chicken-flavor pill pockets make your life, and your pets’ pill time, easier. The Greenies pill pockets are also big enough to hold even large-sized capsules.

Won’t fall apart

Made without artificial flavors or animal by-products and meals, these are suitable for dogs of all sizes. Milk-Bone

The big squares have chicken as their No. 1 ingredient. Plus they are a more calorie-friendly alternative to a tablespoon of peanut butter or an ounce of cheese – both favorites that are about 100 calories each and loaded with fat. Milk Bone offers a great way to hide the taste of even the most bitter pills. Another nice feature is these pill pockets won’t fall apart while you’re inserting the tablet or capsules.
