- WHOOPSKABOOMHow we keep the cost down on this great productI would echo what many others have said about the Greenies being heaven-sent. Our two chihuahuas get a mix of bitter-tasting herbs/supplements, and the Pill Pockets have proven to be the easist, most effective (and most fun!) way to get them to take their daily dose (powders/tinctures which I mix up with a little coconut oil, divide into pea-sized "pills" and freeze). Our dogs like the Pill Pockets so much we use them as training treats! They're kind of pricey, but I use them in a way that not only works better for our small dogs, it's much less expensive! :o)
When I first tried to give the pills in whole Pill Pockets, they were just too big for our 11-14 pound dogs to swallow without chewing (and discovering that there was yucky-tasting stuff inside, and spitting them out), so I needed to make them smaller and more "trustworthy". So in addition to reducing the size (and cost!) as I'll describe next, I also got them hooked on the treats by only giving small pieces of empty Pill Pocket a few times, until their suspicion abated.
Now what I do is divide each (large) Pill Pocket into 4 quarters, and flatten a piece out into a concave oval on my palm with my thumb (they're about the consistency of play-doh or clay, and very maleable). Then I fold/smoosh/seal it around the pill, being careful not to get the scent/taste of the pill onto the outside of the Greenie. Before offering the Pill Pocket, I divide one of the other quarters into pea-sized treats. After a big build-up ("Who... would like... a... SPECIAL TREAT!!"),I give them each one of the little pill-less treats (after a simple command like "sit" or "stay"--giving it as part of a training situation, followed by lots of praise, seems to get them even more enthusiastic about getting the treat)that they won't stop to inspect or even chew it). Then I give them the treat with the pill inside, and they're so excited, they don't stop to inspect or even chew it. They wolf it down so fast they obviously have no idea it has their nasty-tasting supplements in it (MSM, Dogzymes Ultimate and Verm-X for immune system enhancement and parasite prevention). I follow up with some other less expensive, but well-liked treats. If you have larger pills, or larger dogs, you might only be able to cut the PillPocket into 2-3 pieces, but then you're still cutting the cost by 2-3 times as well (and possibly making it easier for your dog to swallow without finding the pill).
One note that may or may not be relevent to your situation--I wanted to save time, so made up a batch of the Greenie-wrapped pills to keep in the frige. Unfortunately, the flavor/scent of the herbs/supplements apparently leeched into the Greenie layer, and the dogs didn't want anything to do with them. So now I just make them on the spot--it only takes a few moments, and I use the time to call the dogs and tell them about how tasty it's going to be, etc., and it's just become part of the treat ritual. :o)
Additional FYI use for anxious dogs/cats: I also use pill pockets with L-TheanineL-Theanine 180Cas a substitute forComposure for Medium and Large Dogs, 60 Soft Chewsas a natural calming aid for the dogs when they will be alone all day, having company, going to the vet, etc. L-Theanine is only one of the 3 active ingredients in Composure, but it seems to do the trick and "take the edge off" for our excitable chihuahuas. I just squish the contents of the capsule into a flattened pill pocket, work it with my fingers until it's completely blended, then divide it into individual doses, which I store in the frige. I strongly recommend that you do your own research about dosage--Composure's manufacturer, Vetri-Science, has detailed weight/dosage instructions on their website, from which I derived the dosage that I use. L-theanine is almost tasteless, it just needs a "dosing vehicle" because it's a powder, and the capsules for humans have way too much in them for my dogs (and I don't want to put it in their food because one might eat it all, or the cats might get it, etc.)
I've only used the chicken flavor (our dogs loved it so why mess with success?), and this is my first time ordering directly from Amazon. I've bought them at the pet store (much more expensive) and an Amazon marketplace vendor (much, MUCH more expensive, as it turned out--I thought I was getting six 9.6 oz packages for 26.59 including shipping, but received six 1.6 oz packages, totaling 9.6 oz, instead--I'm awaiting a refund, and ordering these directly from Amazon at a great price instead!). - Amazon CustomerAbsolutely fantastic but with one slightly humorous problemThe pill pockets are nerve and fresh and soft enough to. mold around the pill perfectly so the puppers takes it right down. However, I don’t know what kind of pet-crack is in these things because it’s becoming a problem in my house. At pill time both dogs and both cats come running and screaming, excited to get their dose. The problem is, only one dog is on meds. The other three just smelled them and after a taste, and now completely addicted to their daily treat. So, when my dog no longer needs the needs I’ll have the choice of continuing to buy these forever to make them happy or try to break the four of them off of their supply. I think for my own sanity I will have to keep buying them, even if I go broke feeding their habit. The pockets are pretty big so you can easily use half per pill (she gets a standard sized capsule). The ingredients show a decent amount of protein in them and the quality is nice.
- Benjamin ValleyAmazing and all my cats love them.An excellent and effective product. I get these for my cat since they break into smaller pieces easily, and are much cheaper than the cat version. They smell like bacon, it's delightful.
- hasselaarExcellent. Idea for the Getting of Pills Down Your Reluctant Canine : Remarkably Painfree for Human and Canine Alike.I have been using these Greenies Pill Pockets since they first appeared on the market, several years ago. I have to say that this is one of those great ideas that was just waiting to happen, Greenies is to be praised and commended to the heavens above for actually developing the idea, and producing the product. Canine owners everywhere owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Greenies.
In the far distant, and wretched past - giving pills (capsules and tablets) to ones faithful friend and loyal companion was something to be feared and dreaded, by both parties involved. This was an activity to be greeted with the enthusiasm that accompanies toe-nail trimming day (Another great idea out there waiting to happen, someone please find a way to remove the terror of toenail clipping time from the hearts of both man and beast.). However, with the advent of Pill Pockets, life is sweet again, tranquility rules supreme, and both owner and fur buddy can now be at peace with the world, and with each other.
These pill pockets are ingeniously designed little cup-like appearing objects, they are round or oblong (Depending upon your choice of the capsule, or the tablet version of the Pill Pocket), and have much the texture of fresh Play-Doh, that has been warmed in the hands until soft and malleable. The composition of this material appears to be something that holds tremendous appeal for ones happy dog, who no longer flees in terror at the mere sound of a rattling pill bottle.
One takes the pill or capsule, places it in the cavity of the Pill Pocket, then squishes the Pill Pocket closed, into the desired shape for the canine in question. By this point in time, your friendly canine has picked-up on the tantalizing aroma of the Pill Pockets, and is probably quivering., shaking, possibly offering to shake hands or to lie down........anything that will enable the Pill Pocket to be quickly introduced into the gaping maw of the pet in question.
What a relief, no more chasing the pet down, cornering the terrified animal, wrenching its jaws open with brute force, and somehow (Hopefully.) jamming the pill far enough down the throat of the violently resisting pet in order to clamp its jaws shut again, massaging its throat all the while (And somehow managing to keep a firm hold on the pet through all of these machinations.), and hoping with all ones heart the the pill has actually been swallowed, instead of being cleverly concealed in the corner of said pets mouth, only to be violently ejected as one releases the beloved fur kid, and watches the rear portion of the pets anatomy as it rapidly, and with great agility disappears to places unknown......this causing a repeat of the entire wretched, and disheartening procedure..
Well, those days are over. Pet owners everywhere can rejoice in their new lives of ease and happiness, while at the same time not being subjected to the reproachful and betrayed glances of their beloved fur kids. Just place the pill in the pocket, hand it to your happy and panting buddy, and the job is done. Everyone is happy, your best friend has just enjoyed a delightful snack, and is probably begging for more, and the pet's human is enjoying the relaxed atmosphere, and the lack of bitten and mangled hands and fingers that were the inevitable, and unavoidable result of the other positively medieval manner of pet medicating, in days gone past.
I maimtain a ready supply of of both styles of Pill Pockets at all times. When the package begins to run low. I immediately dash to my trusty computer and order more, via Amazon Prime. The brilliant geniuses at Greenies are to be commended, upon bended knee for their dream of an invention, which maintains tranquility in the hearts of both man and beast.
These Pill.Pockets are best stored inside of their closed bag, which is then placed inside of another zipper plastic bag, this ensures that the Pockets maintain their pliability, and the aroma so pleasing to the olfactory senses of canines everywhere.
These Pockets are not cheap, but I would rather go without food for a week, than to have to resort to the hideous pill-giving methods of days of yore.These Pill Pockets work, they do what they say they will do, and they help to maintain your peaceful, loving, and adoring connection with your beloved fur kid. I recommend these most highly, just the absence of mangled and chewed fingers is worth the price alone, not to mention the happiness and peace that you are granting your pet through the use of these wonderful Pill Pockets.
DISCLAIMER:
( Upon spell-checking this glowing review, it occurs to me that I probably should mention that I have absolutely no connection to the Greenies Pill Pocket people. I have no .idea of where they are located, or any knowledge of them, or of any of their employees or associates. I paid for these with my own hard-earned cash. No freebies, coupons, or gift codes were involved in the purchase of these Pill Pockets. I am just a really grateful dog owner, and a survivor of too many years of what used to be the sheer misery of pill administration to my beloved canines.) - Lauren RaymondGreat pill pockets that your dog will loveGreat pill pockets for dogs. As soon as we open the bag our dog gets super excited because he thinks he is getting a treat. He loves the taste and eagerly eats the pill. They are also very easy to use. I have been using these twice a day for years with our dog.
