We have to admit, at first we thought pill pockets were a little
silly. Why not use meat or cheese from the refrigerator? Then we decided to
try out pill pockets on Bella.
When we first opened a package of pill pockets, we were a little
disappointed, since some of the pockets seemed to have gotten a little crumbly.
(We have not seen this in the new version of pill pockets)
I was then pleased to find it really did not matter, because
the texture of the product is such that it is moldable, almost like a soft putty,
so the smaller pieces easily mold back together.
You can then form the product completely around the pill, so
your pet can't sniff out the pill in the middle. Bella loved the taste (we used
the beef pill pockets) and easily took her pills without sniffing to see what
it was first.
Bella is fussy and has been known to eat around the meat or
cheese that we hid her pills in, but she readily took her pills when hidden
in the pill pocket product!
