How to make a dog eat a pill?
There are several ways to solve this problem. Let's start with the first and the most traditional one. Everyone saw the film "The Adventures of Shurik" when he stuffed a piece of sausage with sleeping pills? This is perhaps one of the simplest options. The dog eats a pill, which the owner hides in food and quietly goes about his business. Although it often happens exactly as in a famous comedy.
But how to make a dog eat a pill if during a quiet meal the animal discovers an unfamiliar object in the food and leaves it untouched, while eating the rest of the food? In this case, you can make balls of meat or cheese, a few things will be ordinary, and one with a "surprise" (a pill). This method is suitable for dogs that are good at catching food on the fly. The first titbits without a pill animal eats with pleasure, and the last thing you need to throw a ball with medicine.

To do this, you need to open the mouth of the dog, put a tablet on the root of the tongue, close the mouth and raise the front of the head (muzzle) up. Then it's easy to pet your pet's throat, after which he will eat the pill involuntarily.
