Vetoquinol Pill Wrap Treats for Dogs & Cats - 4oz, 56 Servings - Hides Any Size, Shaped Medication - Moist, Flavorful & Shapeable Pocket Paste - Easy-to-Swallow Masking Pouch for Training & Treats

One of our cats recently developed heart problems and had to take medicine daily. He's the most nervous and easily frightened cat of the dozen or so we've had so grabbing him to squirt medicine in his mouth was incredibly difficult. And I'm sure he was terrified every time we did it. But we learned from our vet of a service called MixLabs that mix the medicine into an edible "treat". He hates taking medicine and even in treat form, he refuses to take it. We found this product and figured it was worth a shot and it has worked perfectly. We wrap the pill/treat in some of this stuff and he eats it right up. It has made ours and his life so much easier. It's basically like bacon flavored Play-Doh. You just pull out a little bit and wrap the pill or whatever in it. Make sure that the pill stays within the wrap and doesn't touch any of the exterior. Your pet will smell the meds if it touches the outside of the wrap. One trick we do is to stick a crunchy treat on the side. The pill wrap is kind of slick and it sometimes is difficult for my cat to pick up and keep in his mouth while chewing. The dry treat gives his tongue something to grip while he licks it up and chews it. And it masks the smell of the medicine even more. This stuff is kind of expensive but it's worth every penny to us. Before the pill wrap, our cat was always nervous around us and scared that we'd pick him up and squirt horrible medicine in his mouth. But now he just happily takes his medicine and isn't worried around us.

I could not be happier with this pill wrap. I originally didn't try it since my girl doesn't like pill pockets but it's definitely worth trying. The strong bacon scent really helps. This jar will last a good while as well with the amount I tend to use covering her pills daily. --more info and a tip for dosing cats that dislike soft textures: My cat has anxiety, FHS, and other issues. One of the medications she takes is fluoxetine which is not at all palatable to her. We've tried so many different ways to get her to take it, but either she'd just entirely avoid it if mixed in something or she'd get even more stressed out by it being pushed on her using a pill shooter or gelatin capsule. This is the first thing we've tried that actually completely worked without any stress for her or wasted meds. She seems to like the taste of it and is drawn in by the bacon scent. She doesn't like the texture much since it's chewy and she's a crunchy treat girl. At first we stuck it to the back of one of her favorite crunchy treats and while that did work out somewhat, she would pick it up and drop it a few times before eating it because the soft texture threw her off. To avoid that, I started splitting the crunchy treat as evenly as possible, putting the pill on the inside, and pressing the other piece of treat back on. It works because the wrap is kind of sticky. It kind of looks like an ice cream sandwich at that point. Then I use broken crunchy treat bits to fill in the edges and sides as much as possible to cover that sticky, soft texture for her. It ends up looking like an irregular, slightly thicker and uneven treat at the end. She actually tends to choose that one first because the bacon scent entices her and she now happily takes her much needed medication without any additional stress. We've given other pills to her using this method and she's eaten all of them without any problems.

I have to give my cat a pill daily and was using pill pockets from another brand but my cat started to reject them after biting through to the pill a few times. I needed something that could completely conceal the pill so I decided to try this just to switch it up. Best thing I’ve done and wish I had done it sooner! The texture is semi-firm so it conceals the pill well and you can build layers. My cat takes her daily pill so easily and quickly now, no fuss! And she absolutely loves the flavor. If I don’t give her the med on time, she will remind me to give her some Vetoquinol. She goes crazy when I open the jar. Oh and there’s NO CHICKEN for the babies with GI/allergy issues! Other details: seal was intact; product is quite oily; good size and amount of product; absolutely worth the money.

The treat wraps around the pill like glue!!! I was having such a hard time getting my cat to swallow a pill. He would continually spit out the pill. Troubles no more!!! This wraps around any size pill, and allows for easy digestion the first time!!! A great product to have in the house for both cats and dogs!!! Highly recommend!!!

I have a Maine Coon who is super-intelligent and stopped eating food that I was previously able to crush his pills and hide the medication in. I've been using them for about a month with varying degrees of success. My cat is now on life-long medication and it's been INSANELY frustrating to find something to put his medication in. I started with pill pockets and they worked extremely well-at first. I also had a larger pill that was difficult to get in the pill pocket. As time went on, he stopped eating them so I had to find another alternative. I was a bit hesitant about a bacon wrap as it's not a typically associated flavor with cats. The first time I gave it to him he ate it. The next time he didn't so I was back to square one, yet again. I realized the problem was his super-heightened sense of smell that sensed medication regardless of the method. The solution became clear- empty pill capsules! I would recommend size 0 as they fit large pills. I put the pills into the empty pill capsule, closed it, washed my hands (this is important so you don't contaminate the bacon wrap), then wrapped it into the bacon wrap (assembled similar to a pill pocket, the hand holding the wrap doesn't touch the hand adding the medication). Now I have them in rotation with other methods so he never gets used to one thing. Below are my pros and cons: Pros: -Works well with larger pills -Easily digested by cats due to stickiness of wrap -Can be stored in pill reminder without drying out Cons: -Super-stickiness makes it difficult to assemble (I roll mine out like dough-shaped squares) -You may have to purchase empty pill capsules like I did to completely mask the smell due to sensitive nose -Difficult to get out of container (I had to dig in with my nails a few times) Despite all that, I would still recommend this method combined with empty pill capsules. If your pet is on long-term medications, try incorporating other strategies so they don't get tired of one method. I learned that the hard way.
