For more economical choice, check out Pill Pockets for CATS April 16, 2006

I have a 100lb dog, an Akita who HATES taking pills. She has NOT had Pill Pockets for Dogs, but she HAS had Pill Pockets for CATS. Now, before you click the "No" button after "Was this review helpful to you?", read further -- my comments will be of value to those with dogs that take SMALL pills!
Andie has been taking pills for hypothyroidism for the past 9 years. Her pills are TINY. Wrapping them in meat or cheese never worked; she simply ate around the pill or spit it out. For years the only way I could get Andie to take pills was to, literally, shove them down her throat. (My hands are small enough and her mouth is big enough for me to do this. Thankfully she's a very trusting dog!)
Then one day I was at the vet and noticed packages of something called "Pill Pockets". They had two kinds -- one for dogs and one for cats. Both came in flavors that Andie would like, but the dog Pill Pockets came in different sizes (small and large) while the cat Pill Pockets only came in one size (small).
I looked at each package very carefully and noticed that the packages for cats had 45 Pill Pockets, while the packages for small dogs only had 35 Pill Pockets. And yet, the packages for small dogs cost MORE than the packages for cats -- huh? (On Amazon.com they are the same price, but the quantities are different.) So I looked at Andie's tiny thyroid pills, then looked at the Pill Pocket pictures on the packages and decided, "I might as well save myself a buck and buy the kitty Pill Pockets. What the hey, Andie won't know she's eating something intended for cats!"
I've been happy with that decision ever since.
I've bought both the salmon- and chicken-flavored Pill Pockets FOR CATS and Andie likes them both. The pockets are the perfect size, just big enough for her thyroid pills, and to date she has gulped down every one, then begged for another! And I like the fact that I get 10 more in each package than I would if I bought the Pill Pockets "for dogs".
Pill Pockets are GREAT product, for cats OR dogs. I wish I had discovered them sooner! While I have never used the Pill Pockets for Dogs, I am 100% confident that they are excellent. That's why I'm giving this product 5 stars. If Andie's pills were bigger I would get the Pill Pockets for Dogs, and I know she would like them just as much. For the time being, though, I will stick with the smaller Pill Pockets for Cats, since they last a few days longer.
So, this review is to pass along an idea that perhaps some dog owners had not considered: If your dog takes tiny pills like Andie does, go with the more economical choice and get Pill Pockets for Cats. Your dog will never know the difference!

My dog Andy requires 3 pills 3 times a day. I started using Pillpockets almost two years ago. We have used the dreaded pill popper for many years. When the popper comes out, Andy beats a hasty retreat. We all hated it, as a lot of times the pills popped out, stayed in the popper, or he gagged on them. Since he had to have pills three times a day, it was a daily ordeal. It all changed when we tried Pill Pockets. He now looks forward to taking his pills. He loves the taste of the Pillpockets, I don't think we can now do without them. He likes them so much, we use them as treats for special occasions. They have made treating Andy a pleasant experience, rather than a ordeal. I wish I would have invented them.
Terrific Idea!! :) June 23, 2009

My dog has to take seizure pills and after 2 months of shoving them down her throat and finding the pills around the house, I saw Pill Pockets at the vet. She likes them, the pills don't get spit out, and I don't get growled at, it's great! The pills are tiny, so I split one pill pocket up and can wrap four pills up. I put the extras in an empty pill bottle to keep them fresh. She doesn't mind the smaller size. They do leave your hands kind of greasy though.

Most dogs I've had have no problem taking pills, except for my yorkie, very obstinant. It is a whole lot easier just to pop her meds in one of these, and we are both happier for it. These are great. End of struggles, she doesn't try to hide from me at pill time. What could be greater. The price is worth it!
Dog loves them, makes life easier! September 20, 2009

I have a fussy eater on my hands and a VERY smart dog. I've used hot dogs, banana, peanut butter, etc... he eventually figured out a pill was in every one of those and would either refuse it, spit it out, or eat around the pill. My boy has to take pills twice a day probably forever; so far so good on pill pockets - it's been over a year and he hasn't figured it out. He considers it a treat and LOVES them. They are soft so I can form the pocket around the pill. To make them last a bit longer, I split it in half since his pills aren't very big.
