How to make Pill Pockets at home - quick and easily.
Many people have trouble giving their pets oral medications.
Using a Pill Pocket, you may be able to hide the pill and give your dog a tasty treat (much like pushing the pill into a piece of cheese).
This mixture uses only 3 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make. You can store the premade pill pockets in the fridge for up to 1 week.
My dogs also enjoy them as a treat, and the mixture is much like plasticine so can be molded into a kong or similar food dispensing toy for a special long lasting treat.
