My husky laughs at your method

It's so so easy when your dog obviously has no problem taking pils but when you have a dog like mine it's not a chore it's a freaking nightmare to give him anything I feel he is gonna give him self a stroke or something equivalent. Last pill I had to shove it down his throat with my finger and it broke my heart doing it because my dog is a 4.5 lb chihuahua and my best friend. I'm at a loss and now I have been told he has to start taking pills every 12 hours from the rest of his life what do I do now?

We had a half Chihuahua/half Jack Russell and he was a nitemare to give pills to.....I suggest wrapping the pill in a slice of processed cheese or a slice of deli ham and the dog should eat it whole.....cos the dog is tiny u may need to break the pill and do what I said with2halves of the pill....hope this helps❤

The1st technique looked easier on the dog and seemed to work better

Do these tactical methodologies work on HUMANS?
