So your poor dog is ill but you’re struggling to give him his medicine ? Don’t worry, there are methods available to make administering medicine easier for you.

Pills

Open your dog’s mouth and place the pill on top of his tongue, as far back as possible. Then close his mouth and stroke his throat until you see him swallow. Give him a treat afterwards to ensure that the pill was swallowed. Another way to do it is to hide the pills in some cheese or a sausage. Pill plungers are also very effective.

Liquids

Tilt your dog’s head up, and place the neck of the bottle ( a syringe will also work ) inside his cheek pouch, between his molar teeth and cheek. Use your fingers to seal his lips around the bottle. Then slowly pour the liquid in. You will be able to administer large doses in this manner.
