RV Pet Lovers Have a New Way to Give their Pets Medication

Go to any RV park or campground and you will see lots of cats, dogs and other pets. You love your pet and their medical care is very important to you. I used to give my dog Barney his pills by inserting them into hot-dog pieces or cheese, however his pills have become larger and they would often fall out and then I would have to hold his mouth open and stick the pill in the back of his throat to get him to swallow them (always a hassle). Our veterinarian introduced us to a product called “Pill Pockets” and we haven’t had any trouble giving him medicine since. They come in small, medium and large, however you get more value for your money if you buy the large and just break off pieces large enough to envelop the pills. Watch this video to get a feel for how you do this. Helping you keep your pets happy and healthy - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing and ROAD Scholar

  • I use a little piece of chicken hotdog. Cut a piece off, put a little slice in the end and push the pill in. Works beautifully.

  • We just use peanut butter to get our dog to take her pills. Put the pill on your finger tip and cover it with the peanut butter. As the dog licks it off she'll swallow the pill along with what she's licking. Our vet told us this one.

  • Try "squirty cheese" -- the aerosol cheddar that you use to decorate crackers. Works every time and doesn't need refrigeration!

  • We use cheese. Cut 3 pieces, put the pill in one, and toss one at a time. The mutt loves cheese, so he inhales each one so he doesn't miss the next one. Mild block cheddar works best.
