5.0 out of 5 stars How we keep the cost down on this great product
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2012
I 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-Theanine  L-Theanine 180C  as a substitute for  Composure for Medium and Large Dogs, 60 Soft Chews  as 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!).

Man, you name it, I have used it for administering pills to pups, and this has changed the game big time. It is the easiest thing ever. It stays super moist, so I don’t have to use the entire thing each time. I have smaller dogs, but even my bigger ones don’t need the entire pocket for one pill. Because it is so moist and malleable I can easily break a piece off and wrap it beautifully just around the pill. The flavor of it must be amazing because I haven’t had a dog that doesn’t gobble it. These are fantastic..

5.0 out of 5 stars Work Great & Pliable
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2023
I prefer these pill pockets with my dogs over other brands and have tried several. Others are often dry and not pliable like these are. There are many pills/capsules that require the entire pocket for just 1 pill. My dogs were smart and if any part was exposed it was a no go. So these pockets are soft like dough and stay that way as long as you keep them sealed.*
I’d mold them evenly around the larger oval capsule and pills. The other side to this is that for smaller pills 1 pocket is kind of an overkill. However if your dog is on more than one small pill just flatten it and put the pills in rolling and molding it around them. Literally just seconds. If you only use the pill pockets for 1 small pill and nothing more, then just pinch off what ya need to cover it and leave the rest in the bag for next time. My dogs loved getting them. They were not seen any differently than any other treat. They did eat all the flavors at some point in their lives but the PB was definitely the favorite.

*Only 1 thing I absolutely DISLIKE about these pill pockets is the resealable ziplock top. Don’t get me wrong it is absolutely REQUIRED. I just think it is a VERY POOR version. In 16yrs of having dogs, injuries, surgeries, allergies, infections etc I have maybe had 5 bags in which the ziplock device functioned correctly. The last 5 years we go thru a big bag a month. So that’s not very many working resealable top. Here’s the problem. The ziplock/sealing part works just fine although it is very thing and nothing like the quality of day an actual ziplock bag. The problem is with whatever they use as an adhesive, connecting the male/femal pieces to each side of the bag. As already stated, 98% of the time one or both sides would rip apart from the bag itself when opening or unlocking them to get a pill pocket out. If it had the little white zipper that slid across the top sealing the bag, it’d be much more effective. However, I just would store the entire bag inside a gallon size ziplock. Otherwise they dry up and all the good stuff I said about them goes out the window. Probably could empty them into a smaller ziplock but the pkg they come in has more structure and helps keep them from getting totally smashed. I can’t be the only person having this issue and it seems the case no matter where they’re purchased. Clearly a manufacturing issue. Otherwise they are perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Break Pill Pockets into Smaller Pieces for Maximum Usage
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
Our little senior chihuahua loves these peanut butter flavored pill pockets. I've never had an issue with her not taking her medication inside one of these. She has also never had a negative reaction from consuming them either.

Each pill pocket is a pretty generous size, we typically tear each one into 4 pieces which significantly extends the bag out for several more weeks and reduces cost over time. Very moldable and easy to use. Texture is very similar to what Play Doh feels like. Will continue to use these and recommend them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pills are swallowed as a treat.
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024
Had always used the bacon flavored but tried these peanut butter flavor and our fur baby likes them.
In fact, I like them better also. They don't seem as greasy/oily as the dark ones. Better to handle and put the medication in. Glad she likes them.
