Dogs LOVE these! My Dot is very healthy and, except for antibiotics for a tiny scratch on her cornea, Dot has never had any pills. Not only does she hate pills, she won't even eat her heartworm meds that come in a chewy treat every other dog or cat I have ever had ate quite willingly. However, her mate, Dash, has epilepsy and needs two pills per day-- every day-- for life. Dot feels like she is special, too, if she gets half a pill pocket when Dash gets his pill in half of a large pill pocket. In my 50 years of AKC kennel ownership I have tried EVERYTHING from cheese hot dogs, to scrambled eggs with cottage cheese, to Little Smokies sausages, to soft cheeses to liverwurst to get dogs to take their pills! These pill pockets are BY FAR the EASIEST and most mouldable pill hiding food/treat I have ever found, and they seem like an excellent value (and fewer kilocalories) when compared to soft cheeses or liverwurst! If the Pill Pockets are kept in an airtight container these pill pockets remain soft and perfect for a LONG TIME, maybe years. Not that I have ever had a bag of Pill Pockets last over a month! The only thing about Pill Pockets that is at all fragile is the zipper on the bag they come in. There is no guarantee on the bags, or the zippers on the inside of the bags. I buy the large pill pockets and cut them in half for my Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and use them whole for our allergic German Shepherd dog's THREE Benedryls per six-hour dose, (my dose is TWO.) This is my BEST veterinary find since the hybrid elizabethan collars that have blowup neck rings AND a hard, clear plastic anti-chew extension! Read more

These have been lifesavers to help get my dogs to take their pills. Each pill pocket is very generously sized and my dogs love them so much I usually can get away with using half a pill pocket to mold around the pill. It makes getting them to take their pills so easy and they really enjoy the flavor of the chicken kind. Additionally, I am impressed by the quality of the ingredients as one of my dogs has a variety allergies - including to beef - and I appreciate that the chicken pill pockets luckily dodge any ingredients she is allergic to.

These are an absolute must for dogs on medication. We have a senior English Bulldog. He takes at least 4 pills a day, so we go through them quick. We have tried other things, like cheese, but these work so much better. He takes his pills everytime. Sometimes they can be squished while in the bag, but you honestly do not need the hole. You can simply put the pill into it and roll it up , because they are very pliable, which also means they are easy for a senior to chew. Highly recommend. Read more

I had struggled getting my dog to take his daily pill until I tried Pill Pockets. Now he eagerly comes to get his pill in the morning when he hears the bag crinkling. Let’s talk about that bag for a moment though. The bag is the reason I’ve deducted a star. I’ve used these for nearly 6 years and at some point in the last few years Greenies decided to cheap out on the ziplock part of the bag. After a while, it will separate from the sides, so the bag no longer seals properly. You’re forced to dump the remaining pill pockets into a different container or use something to clip the bag together. This was a disappointing, unnecessary change. Read more
My grand dog loves these. They are great for hiding his meds which he hates to take. They also make a good treat when he needs one. He likes the chicken flavor. Read more
Best invention ever! These pill pockets get the job done with no hassle. I’ve had lots of dogs over the years, and I’ve tried everything to get them to swallow a pill, this little invention is the only thing that works every time. No idea whether this is the healthiest choice, but it works, and the pills go down easily and fast. A little pricey, especially if you’re giving daily meds, but for me it’s well worth the price of avoiding a hassle! Read more
