Your dog is usually smart to know when you have included drugs into his meal or food. This will definitely cause you a little stress while you device a crafty trick to get her to take her medicine. Despite the discomfort, it need not be necessary to force the dog to take her tablets.

If you are giving your dog medicine along with its food, it is advisable you delay the feeding time. This will of course make your dog quite hungry. At that time, give the dog a little quantity of her food but without the medicine included. Your pet will eat without suspicion. Soon afterwards give her the remaining food portions mixed with medicine. Your dog will eat most of it without noticing the medicine.

If however, your dog still proves stubborn, first put the dog under restraint and then open its mouth. Then place the tablet under the fangs and almost behind the bulb of the tongue. However, ensure that the medicine you are administering does not find its way to the its respiratory organs such as the lungs.

If so, your dog may have a seizure and may end up developing pneumonia with severe nasal discharge and panting. In puppies, just swab the medicine around the upper lip. The puppy will automatically lick the drug with its tongue.

If liquids, you can use a syringe with no needle attached, or you can use one of those giant eye-dropper looking items with measurements on it they use to give medications to young children. Squirt it as far back in their mouth as you can so it makes it harder to spit out. Tilt the head up slightly until they swallow. You can try to mix it into their food or with something tasty, but if it tastes nasty, they may not eat it.
