Giving dogs Carprofen

Maybe try wrapping it in some lunch meat or smear it with peanut butter?
Though I'm not sure the peanut butter would really work.

I once came across a thing specifically do make it easier to give pets pills. It was some sort of dough sausage where you would cut of a little bit, and knead it over the pill, and then give the entire thing to your pet. maybe you can look into something like that.

My dog has 4 oral medications per day at the moment. He's a big dog with very strong jaws and could wreck me if he wanted. I never force his mouth open or try to shove pills to the back of his throat because he's too strong. He's also a wily bastard and cottoned on to the pills hidden in various food items years ago.

There's a gap in their teeth, just behind the canines.

You peel open the lip on one side, slip the pill behind the tooth gap, and make sure he doesn't spit the medication out. This can be done by gently tipping his head upwards, holding his muzzle closed (without too much pressure, you don't want him to panic!) and scratching his throat. When he licks his nose, it's gone down.

My dog has a verbal cue for swallowing medicine, because he's been taking it for such a long time.

I just shove the pills down my dog's throat. It's the most efficient way and it doesn't hurt him.

But before I stopped being a pussy and learned how to do it, I would put them in mini marshmallows. My dog loves that shit and the vet said she didn't mind because they were so small the sugar in one marshmallow a day was negligible. They're easy to poke pills into.

Pill pockets are what they're called

Cool! Thanks, I'm gonna try that. Never knew about that secret spot.

He eats like a horse and loves sun tans. He can't be tired of living just yet.

I learned of it through trial and error.

Only works on medium and large dogs. The gap is too small to make a difference on little dogs.

I give my dog pills this way, too. It's a bit less gross than shoving them down his throat

I do occasionally give him this supplement that he refuses to chew, and it's too big to just push down his throat so I put a dollop of whipped cream on it..I know it's not the healthiest option but it's very little (hopefully doesn't really have any impact) and makes things easier on both of us

Maybe he wants to die while he's still happy and can enjoy things?

He sounds like the kind of 70 y/o man that lives life to its fullest but would be ok if he were to suddenly die

my dog eats his kibble so fast he doesnt even chew so i just put the pill on top of the kibble and he vacuums it down with the rest without even noticing
