Greenies Pill Pockets for Dogs Large Size, Dog Treat Pouch for Capsule Medication, Chicken Flavor, 15.8 oz. Pouch

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!).

These are the only things that work for giving our dog her daily meds. Super pliable and easy to use. She will only eat the chicken ones too! She must really love the flavor. Masks pills well.

My 3 dogs love the greenies pill pockets. I love that they are "squishy" so they can be formed around capsules or tablets and make it easy to give medication without a fight! I prefer the chicken because it stays moist longer. The peanut butter flavor seems to dry out faster and none of them will touch the hickory smoke flavor. I wish it were a little less expensive, but it works, so can't argue with that!

Use these 3 times a day, and the dogs love them. They hide the medicine well and do the trick. No side effects, and when the dogs eat them and their meds, it's a place.

Our dog is 98 pounds and is required to take 5 pills 2x per day including allergy and thyroid medication. She can smell the medication on other things we have tried and walks away. It was always challenging for us. However, with these soft treats, we are able to smash one, lay the pills on it with clean hand so no medication scent) then smash another on top and close the sides up. They are soft like a warm tootsie roll and does not crumble or fall apart. She does not even know they are inside and just "woofs" it down. It's a game changer for us! We got the chicken flavor as she likes the taste of it. Highly recommend these.

value for the money

dog loved taste ~ ease of giving meds by wrapping each pill into greenies pockets ~ Wonderful product ~ highly recommend

These pill pockets for dogs are fantastic. They make giving medication so much easier—my dog actually eats them without hesitation. The flavor and texture seem to appeal to dogs, and they’re soft enough to mold around pills. Overall, a convenient and effective way to make medicine time stress-free for both pets and owners.

色んなメーカーの物を試したのですがこれがうちの子には合って居ました。

二度目の購入ですが梱包もしっかりとしていますし思ったより早く届きました。国内生産をしていないようで動物病院では手に入りませんのでAmazonで購入出来て助かりました。商品内容は国内のと変わらないと思いますので今後も購入しようと思います。

A repeat purchase for a dog that needs pills for life.

Son grandiosos premios para cuando tienes que dar medicamentos. Fáciles de usar y de gran sabor, a mi perro le encantan

Wir benutzen die Pill Pockets seit kurzem für die tägliche Tablettengabe bei unserer Hündin und das läuft absolut reibungslos ab. Erst einmal wurden die Pill Pockets sofort als Leckerli akzeptiert und genüsslich mit einem Biss verschlungen (Tablette inklusive). Unsere Hündin ist für einen Labrador relativ wählerisch und zieht meist getrocknetes Fleisch ohne viel Zusätze den normalen gebackenen Leckerli vor, aber die Pill Pockets kamen gut an. Auch die Anwendung ist, wie auf der Rückseite abgebildet, sehr einfach. Tablette rein, zugedrückt und ab in den Hund. Bei uns kamen die Pill Pockets auch alle gut verpackt und unversehrt an. Auch die Zutatenliste gefällt mir wesentlich besser als die ähnlicher Produkte (einige davon enthalten Palmöl, die Pill Pockets nicht). Auch das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis finde ich vollkommen in Ordnung, da wir bei täglicher Tablettengabe mit einer Packung einen Monat reichen. Alles in allem eine klare Empfehlung von mir, da sie genau das tun, was sie versprechen und jeden Morgen von meiner Hündin freudig entgegengenommen werden. + Einfache, saubere Anwendung + Schmeckt dem Hund + Geeignet für ältere Hunde, da sehr weich + Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis + Ohne fragwürdige Zutaten
