How I Give My Picky Dog Her Pills (Works EVERY TIME!)

- In this video, I show you how I give my picky dog her pills everyday. Reese is an imperial shih tzu dog and developed autoimmune meningitis encephalitis when she was 7.5 years old. Reese gets a supplement everyday in pill form to help her with her condition, and as you probably already know, giving a dog a pill can be a real challenge. I've been using this method for years now with Reese and it works so well. There is no fighting, biting, turning her head away or spitting it out of her mouth. She LOVES getting her pills this way! I hope this method helps you give your dog their pills easily too.
Reese has her own playlist! Check out all her videos here: • My Imperial Shih Tzu, ...
Imperial shih tzus are the mini version of shih tzus weighing under 9 pounds and are often called a teacup shih tzu or mini shih tzu. I got Reese as a companion to travel with me when I started travel nursing because I wanted a small portable dog that I could easily fly with. She made travel nursing with a dog so fun and easy and she is the best dog for traveling. Imperial shih tzu dogs have been a part of my family for many years and I just adore their adorable faces and sweet gentle and playful personalities.

It may work for your dog but NOT my beagle. He seems to smell the meds regardless of what food I disguise it with. Doxycycline must have some kind of medicine smell. I've tried xheese, hot dogs bacon, you name it but if the pill is in it or wrapped in it, he will NOT eat the pill.
Hi there, I'm in the exact same boat as you. My little bichon is just as difficult. I'm just wondering if you have any tips for me to get her to take her heart meds. Did you find anything that worked? Thank you so much 🙏
@@user-jl8mc8xf4r Hello, I hadn't found an easy way for my dog to seat the Doxy but the last time I fed him the doxy, I delayed his normal feeding cycle to hopefully get him super hungry then I smothered the Doxy in his food and he ate it once but then it did not work a second time. I told the vet and the vet just said, give him what he'll take which I managed to get 1 tablet into him but that wa it. He would take no more from that moment forward. So, I stopped the Doxy but he does and will eat his heartworm pills as long as I smother them in some home scraps thrown in with his regular dog feed. I wish you the very best trying to administer the heartworm meds. Ask your vet if there's a liquified heartworm med.
I’m having that problem with my beagle at this very moment!!
Doxycycline is a really gross antibiotic (speaking from human experience). Hard on the stomach, and burps up the flavour. You can taste it on the way down your throat and it seems to linger. Poor pup. I’ve had meningitis too… I feel for this little dog.
@@Mrs.LadeyBug Fortunately, he's not on Doxy anymore so he doesn't have to deal with that nastiness. Thanks for describing the Doxy taste.
I did this when I dog sat my best friend's picky, big baby of a German Shepherd. When he realized what just happened he looked at me like, "yooouuu backstabbing *insert string of expletives here*" ...never failed to fall for it, though lol
Hahaha 🤣 Omg this made me laugh. So funny 😂 Dogs can be hilarious
Thank you so much for the liver idea!
I was having a terrible time getting my senior chihuahua to take his meds. I tried using chicken livers since my dog is smaller and they were less expensive to try and it worked! I was close to taking him to the vet for IV treatment yesterday and now he is happily taking his meds al la liver!
Omg I love Reese so much 😩❤️
She misses you! 💞
I just have to say thank you for this! My dog will literally refuse the most expensive treat out there and giving him his pills was completely impossible- but he’ll eat the liver EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It’s magic. I’m so grateful for the suggestion!
Reese is such a cute little sweetheart! And so gentle too! Thanks for sharing this great tip about putting meds in cooked liver. Sadie Grace is very picky about which dog treats she will eat as well! 😃💞
We use liver too. I use beef liver because it’s less expensive. They love it raw too. After a while nothing works. Dogs are so smart. My 10 year old boxer takes two heart meds twice a day. Pill time is always a challenge.
They are soooo smart. Keeps us on our toes! 😆
My Lhasa Apso saw me frying some beef liver one day. I hadn't had liver for years (my wife hates liver). The taste of it, the smell of it, the sight of it, even the idea of it. Needless to say, I had rarely ate liver, only when my wife was away. My Lhasa Apso, (may she rest in peace) on the other hand, loved liver and I shared a meal of it with her as often as possible and she never turned up her nose to it when it came "pill time".
Haha awwwh this is the cutest story ever 🥰🥰🥰
We were tired of the stress of forcing meds down our small poodle’s throat with a pill shooter, so we tried your method. Unbelievable!!! Thanks so much for the video.
So glad it helped! This has been my tried and true method for years now. 🙏🏻
Reese is adorable!
She’s pretty cute ☺️
I have a 7lb yorkie that is just as much as a picky eater. he takes 4 meds twice a day but it's become a battle, going to try this tomorrow i'm praying it works!
Ahhh the doggy battles. How did it go for you?
Thanks this really does work my fussy pup wouldn’t take anything until we tried your trick. Thanks again
I love watching all your videos, I am now looking for my NP preceptor !! keep it up, Sandra !!
Wishing you much success on your journey to NP! 💞
@@thesunnyedge Thank you so much !!
Oh heck yeah Gonna try it!
I recently discovered mashed sweet potato is another great option for disguising a pill. My dog loves it.
I'm gonna try it thank you so much
I hope it helps! ☺️
Read my reply please dont
My dog would easily sniff that out. More to the fact he'd feel it as he bit into it. So I'm sorry to say your dog isnt the hardest to get to take a pill 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Great advice. I have a very smart dog,,and he knows. He will eat the Vienna sausage, and spit out the pills to show me. Mon there is something wrong with this food. Big ? On his face. So funny, and exhausting for me to find something that works. I have to keep Changing, I will sure try your method. Thank you!
thankyou ❤️
thank you I have a picky Shihtzu who has to take 3 pills a day for 2 weeks for her hurting back.
How do you give a dog a pill on an empty stomach that refuses to take pills?
Little does she know that Reese has her own TH-cam channel where she teaches other dogs how to get their owners to start buying and cooking them tasty liver.
(Hint: it all comes down to pretending to be picky, until they finally start buying you the liver.)
Your dog looks so much like my Pekingese! My very picky Pekingese who sounds like he and Reese are cut from the same cloth. I will have to try your liver hack. Right now I am having an awful time with him. His eye ruptured and he needed emergency surgery. I can't get him to take his pills, so I'll try anything. Thanks for this idea.
Hope it works! I still use this method to this day and she gobbles it up. 😄
I'm heading to the store right now to get some liver and try this. The vet sent my boxer home with 2 bottles of meds to take twice daily and my boy is not having it. 😅 *fingers crossed*
Thought it was me alone that had problems when it comes to doggies and pills. Lol. Angel used to give so much trouble to take her meds until I started doing the exact same thing like you did. Now I slip her, her pill and she doesn't know. Lol.
Haha these dogs know when we’re trying to pull something over them. 😆 Does Angel get medication everyday?
@@thesunnyedge Yup they are so smart...she has to take medication for 14 consecutive days...take a break for 7 days and start the cycle over again.
Oh wow so you’re on a schedule!
@@thesunnyedge Yeah...I made a medicine chart for her so if I'm not home someone else can give her...and she's been doing great with this routine. 😊
Haha that’s awesome. Anything for our pups. ☺️
Nice!! Will have to try that. My Dog Sage needs 2 inhaler puffs if flovent. For that I Give him treat after. but there hase been times I nedded to give him pills. I will keep this in mind :)
Omg I didn’t know dogs even use inhalers! How do you give it?
@@thesunnyedge I use the aerodog it's a chamber with a silicone snout cone. You wait till they are breathing deep and steady watching the little flap thing and puff as they breath in then allow 6 deep breaths to get what's left in the chamber... oh and I apologize for the typos lol.
Oh ok that’s similar to what we use on the kiddos. I had no idea dogs used such a thing too!
@@thesunnyedge yes that would of been an easier way to explain.. lol sorry I comment so much just bored! still laying around injured never went To the Dr. Lol. My dog keeps looking at me like wtf man!? Thankfully my gf just took him out for me.
What do you feed your dog normally? I have a shihpoo, 10 pounds and 4 years old. She does not eat every day. I’ve been boiling chicken mostly.
Her main food is Wellness CORE RawRev for small breeds. She does usually get some meat each day too such as chicken, liver, or beef.
Thanks it is difficult to give my pupper a pill.
Awe I know the struggle. Hope it helped.
I’ll try it. I’ve got a very picky 2 yr old shih-tzu and he will not take a pill. And BTW … his name is Reecey. Thank you
How’s the odor when you cook up liver? I don’t like the smell of meat cooking. Is this the same smell or worse? Guess I’m just going to have to try it lol.
It’s not my most favorite smell but my dog loves it 😄
Hi. Can i use this method with every day pills?? (2)
Yes if it works for your dog, definitely!
Approximately how long do you cook on each side? Wife and I love liver however I cook it more done than you do for your dog.
I’d say about 2 minutes each side. If I cook it too much the meat becomes too tough to press the tablet into.
@@thesunnyedge Thank you.
You’re welcome ☺️
I noticed your dog didn’t chew it, just basically swallow whole, is this method just for dogs, because my 5 month old teething yorkie chews everything, if she chewed the liver she would taste the pill and spit it out!
Hmm that’s an interesting thought. 🤔I’m not sure if it would be an effective method for puppies because, like you said, they’re chewers! I started using this method with my dog when she was about 7 years old so definitely older.
Nope! My dog is 13 and chews everything fully. 😂 He’s not food motivated either so im still at a loss
Haha well hopefully he outgrows that phase 😆
My dog also doesnt swallow whole. And the med is a capsule that cannot be crushed!
So my dog won’t take her monthly heart worm/flea pill and that’s only once a month so I’m guess the most of the liver would go to waste if I’m only using once a month correct?
I keep it frozen in the freezer then cut off and cook little portions of liver as needed.
My boston took many pills, multiple times a day the last few yrs of her life & what worked for me EVERY time is purchasing a can of any brand "cuts in gravy" dog food. I would spoon feed her a small bite or two first of the chunky food with gravy, then add the pill, coat it well in gravy and feed her the pill & another chunky bit with gravy & then lastly, a bite without pills to end the interaction .. so yum, yuck, yum. Easy peasy & took only seconds. One small can of that dog food would last several days covered & stored in the refrigerator.
A little cream cheese with pill inside works really well
Ahhh that’s a great idea! I’ll have to try that!
How do you warm it in microwave
Do you put the pill in the chunks in advance?
No, I just put them in as I use it.
👍🏾
😊❤️
day in the lifeeeeee
Please read my comment

Would chicken livers work?
Please condense videos
Reese said you tricked me after it slid down. 😋
Some days she is smarter than me and still manages to get the pill out. 🤦🏼♀️
You lost me at calf liver.
My dog won't eat the pills. Sorry it did not work.
Awwwe Im sorry!! I did discover another food that I can hide my dog’s pill in…mashed sweet potato! Let me know if you try it. 😬
😂😂😂😂FUNNY HOW U MENTIONED YOUR DOG IS A PICKY EATER....KUZ MY DOG IS THE SAME WAY IF NOT WORSE 😁🤦🏾🤷🏾
My vet told us a big NO it's a organ takes toxics out of animals can give your dog pancreatitis and could. He said No to any organ meat. He's been a vet 47 years. My dog would only eat liver and chicken liver he said I was making her sick to stop Humans should even only eat occasionally
Homemade... Liver.... That you buy at the store... Is..homemade...?
