Canuck PetAll about Canadian Pets

I am sure you have seen the cartoons and email forwards about how to pill a cat, amusing but sometimes not that far off.

Greenies Pill Pockets have been a lifesaver for me, both at home and at the shelter.  A pill gun helps but why bother when they will happily take a ‘treat’from you, ensuring that they take their pill with some food.

I always try the pill in a little wet food first, a small amount of butter etc but at the shelter, Pill Pockets are cleaner and help stop the spread of disease that could be caused by using a spoon of butter or handling something that needs to be broken up into pieces.

You just pop the pill inside the treat and pinch it closed, leaving a happy cat and you not becoming one of those people in the forwards, covered in blood from trying to pill your cat.  They also come in dog sizes for bigger pills.
