The 28th Five Star Review July 10, 2010

Rarely have I encountered a product that doesn't have at least ONE person who either thinks it's junk, or gives a (bogus) low review because the delivery guy accidentally dropped the package before leaving the item at the door.
As of this moment, 100% of the people reviewing the Greenies PILL POCKETS have given them a five-star rating, and I'm enthusiastically joining the crowd!
If you're a dog owner, you've almost certainly had to, at some point, give your dog a pill that he or she was reluctant to take. The usual remedy until now, (as suggested by our vet) was to simply shove the thing down the poor dog's throat, and then rub their neck to help the pill go down.
Recently, one of our dogs --a large yellow lab named Chip-- was suffering from untreatable throat cancer, but he still needed to take a number of pills to make his final days a little more comfortable. The vet specifically mentioned AVOIDING the "shove and rub" technique as it would be very painful for the dog --who at that point was even reluctant to eat his regular food.
Someone mentioned PILL POCKETS. We picked up a bag and lo and behold, they worked like a champ. Though Chip was still not really interested in eating a meal, the *very* meaty smell of the PILL POCKETS was irresistible to him, and he happily gobbled up his meds.
Sadly, we lost Chip about a week later, but then our other dog developed a minor skin rash that required he take some antibiotics. Eubie is a Border Collie, and they tend to figure things out before you do --and we were astounded when he wolfed down his medicine and then looked at us as if to ask "is that all --when do I get another?!"
My technique for using the PILL POCKETS is to stuff the pill(s) inside, pinch off the open end --and then, using my palms, "roll" the pocket into a smooth, round ball. With Eubie at least, he loves the smell so much, that he simply swallows it whole.
In fact, I discovered another great use for the PILL POCKETS and that is to take a rawhide bone and smear the nooks and crannies with a single pill pocket. Since they're kind of "doughy" in texture, they're perfect in this regard --and for a dog that will happily walk around the house with the rawhide bone for days without ever chewing on it, we've found that the "pill pocket infused" rawhide is something that he HAS to chew on. (In fact, he was SO focused on this task, that for the first time ever, he actually ignored the fireworks on July 4th.... it was truly amazing!)

What can I say? They're great November 16, 2007

It's really tough to give my dog his pills. He seems to know when there is a pill inside a lump of dog food. He'll enevitably eat the treat but leave or spit up the pill. Well, now this doesn't happen. These treats... Pill pouches have a compartment inside you can stick the pill in, and squeeze the pouch shut and voila! The dog has a little sealed pouch of treat to eat. The large size can be cut in half for smaller dogs like our paps.
If you have to give pills to your dogs and they are no longer fooled by the lump of peanut butter or the hotdog... Try these... They work great especially if you have to give dogs pills frequently.
Best product ever!! January 15, 2010

These pill pockets are the best product ever. My dog is on oral chemotherapy, prednizone, appetite enhancers, and antibiotics right now. These things are a life saver!! The chemicals have really messed up how things taste, so we're constantly challenged to find something she'll eat (she's completely off dog food). Happily, she takes her pills in these pill cups with no fuss. She thinks she's getting a treat.

Whoever invented this product is brilliant. Both my dog and cat love the taste. It makes giving them pills easy and fun. Because it's moist I suggest putting in the refrigerator after opening.
Much easier - for all of us April 4, 2009

The dogs are getting a bit older, and on fairly regular meds. Was using peanut butter on bread to hide them, as even the chewables they weren't interested in chewing, and wrestling them to get the pills down just makes it an unpleasant experience. With Pill Pockets they actually COME for their meds when they hear me open the bag!
