Maddie is a 6-year-old Heeler/Pointer mix. Most days, we love that she’s incredibly smart; except when I find a stash of her antibiotics in the yard. We’ll watch her more closely from now on!

What a beautiful, yet sneaky little girl. Get well soon

If she has 2footed siblings, I hope she doesn’t teach them her trick! lol

Mine hates those same stinky meds. Good luck!

Smart girl, but you have to take your meds for your own good.

Peanut butter makes it go down a little better…at least it does for my Ms. Precious.

Mine has gotten quite adept at licking off all the ‘good stuff’ then spitting the pill out of the side of her mouth. I have to watch her like a hawk.

My Marilla does the same with her anti-epilepsy meds. I have to watch her VERY carefully!

Back in the “old days” when dogs took worm pills, our dog used to put on a good show of taking hers (usually coated with peanut butter or stuck in a piece of hotdog). We would often find the pills later buried in her bed. They can be smart when it comes to avoiding swallowing pills.

Yes we have one that doesn’t like her heartworm pills; so therefore she gets them the old fashion way cause wrapping in cheese or peanutbutter didn’t work!
Deb
A little wad of Velveeta or Kraft singles cheese works great, too. Just sticky enough to adhere to the pill (especially everyone’s favorite stinker, Cephalexin) but not to the critter’s tongue. Right down the hatch!

What kind of dog is Maddie? She’s just beautiful!

What a sweet, sweet face!
