Fear Free Friday - Medicating Your Pet

9/7/2018

Today's tip is one that can make medicating your own pet at home a little bit easier! We don't want them to be afraid to be treated at home, either.
To pill a pet, it is easiest often to hide the pill in food, if possible. We've heard everything from cheese to peanut butter (NEVER sugar free) to "meatballs" of food, to mini marshmallows, but sometimes a good treat can help the medicine go down. Pill pockets are also commercially available to hide medicatio...ns, and these can be helpful, as well.
To administer eye medication, it can help to spread some cheese or peanut butter on a cleanable wall or refrigerator, just above eye level. As the animal is reaching up to lick, you can often sneak the medicine in.
This trick may also help for ear medication or baths, or even nail trims!

My dog, Summer has been with me for I think eight years now. During those years, I already felt the connection with him. I treat him more than just a dog, because he is like a brother to me. My parents are often away because of their work, and maybe that is the reason why they let me have Summer. I am really thankful that happened because I now have a brother. Whenever I feel alone, and there is no one I could talk to, he will immediately approach me as if saying he is there to listen to me. That is why I think they really deserve this kind of meditation.
