I am a first time dog owner at 71. I own one of the pickiest, but cutest dogs ever. Ohhh she's really adorable and melts my heart. There lies the problem, I think I unwittingly spoiled her a bit. I cannot tell how often I've had to change her diet, her treats (my vet said she is a good little manipulator lol) in order to get her to eat. I also had to start trying different methods of administering her monthly Simparica Trio. As a pup she like it and would just consume it, but for whatever reason, she developed disdain towards it. I tried putting it in her food, she would eat the food and leave the pill. I tried soft treats to no avail. I tried pill pockets, but that lasted maybe 3 months before she was onto to me. She wouldn't even eat them as a treat. What a waste of money. However, she does love cream cheese and that was a huge success. The drawback is that cream cheese comes in an 8 ounce container and has to be discarded after a week or so (per manufacturer recommendation). So that has been a waste of money if we don't end up consuming it (we don't eat cream cheese very much). But now she is going to to have surgery to spay her and she has to take medication before and after the surgery; one pill and one capsule every 8-12 hours. She cannot eat the morning of, so I was concerned about giving her the cream cheese. I decided to search Amazon for a more manageable way to administer her medication and came across this stuff. Omg, a true game changer. I gave her a sample as a "treat" (she knows what treat means), she kind of checked it out then gave it a lick and then gobbled it down and then came back for more, clearly loving the taste. So I gave her a little more, again success. Then I wrapped her Simparica Trio into it and she couldn't consume it fast enough. It is actually soft and pliable enough to wrap a minimal amount around a pill or capsule unlike the cream cheese which does not have that amount of pliability. It is a bit pricey, but it's certainly worth the peace of mind for me to have in order to administer medication to her when necessary, especially with her upcoming surgery. It's also a bonus that it is is for dogs since they have a tendency to be lactose intolerant, which always concerned me about the cream cheese. At this point, I highly recommend it. Read more
I love this stuff, you can create your own size pill pocket and my dog just gobbles it up. I have tried others and I find that unless I have to give my dog a smaller pill, then I am forced to use two pill pockets jammed together, but with this stuff I just use what I need and it's soft like play doe so it's easy to use. My dog loves the taste. Even when he has eaten the wrap off, the flavor is still on the pill, so he will eat the remaining pill without my having to put another around it. Great stuff. The only down side is that you have to dig it out of the container and I use my hands so it gets under my fingernails. Being a vegan, I prefer not to have that smell on my hands. But, otherwise it's great stuff. And while I do not like the smell on my hands, I do like that the smell is strong enough to keep my dog interested enough to eat the whole pill or capsule. So, it's a win win. Read more
This bacon and cheese flavor is great! I’ll definitely be buying this flavor again! It makes giving my dog her medication so much easier. I also tried the green-label bacon flavor, but I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or what. It was difficult to mold around the pills and had an unpleasant smell. If you’re unsure which one to get, try this one first! Read more
Bean takes her heart medication with ease. I crush up the pill put it in the wrap and she takes it down like it's a special treat. Read more
I bought this paste for my dogs because they are very picky about the treats that hold their medication. We have tried other paste options and pill pockets before, but nothing seemed to work consistently. This paste took the guessing game out of finding treats my dogs will actually eat when taking their medicine. Now it is much easier for them to take their meds and I do not have to worry about finding treats that work. The paste is strong enough to hold larger medications easily. Even though it holds its shape well, it is still soft enough for my dogs to chew. I also have an older dog who has lost some teeth, and this paste is easy for him to eat. The paste is easy to roll around the pills and it does not take much to fully cover even larger tablets. My dogs do have sensitive stomachs, but the ingredients in this paste have worked well for them so far and have not caused any issues. I only have two minor complaints. First, the paste can leave your fingers a bit oily and smelling strongly of bacon. Second, I really wish the product came with a small spoon or scoop. I currently use my fingers to dig out the paste, which is not my favorite. Overall, this has been a great value for the price and has made giving medication to my dogs much easier. I would highly recommend it for anyone struggling with pets that refuse to take their pills. Read more
Life saver!!! I was frantic my 10yr old yorkie would not take his pill for his kidney in NOTHING. Tried all his fav foods, he’d sniff it out refuse the food. Frustrated, went to order this & read reviews. Ordered. He eats it right in with his food. No problem. Love that it’s like playdoh material & can hold to any shape pill big or small. Thank you!!!
