Vetoquinol 429022 Pill Wrap,4 oz

This Vetoquinol Pill Wrap paste is an absolute lifesaver for administering medication to pets. The moist, flavorful texture makes it incredibly easy to shape and wrap around any size or shape of pill, completely masking the medicine. It stays perfectly pliable, meaning you can use just the right amount every time without wasting a single bit. Pets look forward to it like a regular delicious treat, making pill time entirely stress-free. It is a highly effective, cost-efficient solution that saves time and prevents daily struggles.

This stuff is a godsend for a geriatric pets who hates their medicine. Our 18 yo kitty was recently diagnosed with a UTI and hyperthyroidism and a few other health problems is on a few medications she needs to take twice daily. Over the last month we tried everything, pill pockets, the pill shooter, kitty burrito and shove it in but nothing worked. First day of this and she took all three meds as “treats” no complaint no spitting pills out, nothing. She is so skinny and frail and every time we tried to give her meds I always worried we would hurt her, now she takes them voluntarily and asks for more of the “treats”

Well, when it rains, it pours and both my cats ended up needing to be on pills at the same time. My young cat who is 1 and will eat anything is easy enough to hide in her food. But my almost 19 year old will pick around any pill in food! When she was diagnosed with cancer and had to start a steroid i was concerned because we struggled for at least a week. It was stressful for us both trying to get the pill in her. So I came online and bought a multitude of things to try (pill pusher, pill pockets and THIS product). I'd tried pill pockets before and she was able to chew them apart and spit out the pill, so I didn't have much hope for those or this product. Not to mention she is a picky eater. HOWEVER, I tried this product first, have been using it daily for a month now and haven't needed anything else. I even started giving my young cat her pill in this because it's easier for me to ensure she eats it immediately! They both LOVE the flavor and scent which I was surprised about with my elderly girl! Also, she can NOT chew it apart to separate treat from pill. I have had to split her pill in two, however, to make sure I'm not giving her anything larger than pea sized. She seems to struggle with the texture if it's larger and can have a hard time chewing/swallowing(though my younger cat doesn't). So as tiny as possible is the trick for us. Sometimes when I put it in front of her she acts picky for a moment, but I've found that if I roll the treat in my fingers a bit to warm it up then she ALWAYS goes for it. She hasn't missed a pill since this arrived in the mail and I am truly amazed! She's so much more content with the meds in her and I'm grateful to have found this product to make it easy and stress free for both of us to give them to her. HIGHLY recommend for any cat parents out there who have experienced the trauma of trying to give their cat a pill!

My cat would not eat a pill pocket even without the pill, so I was reluctant to try this, but was trying to avoid crushing the pill and mixing with food every time. I hate to jinx it, but so far this has been great. It's like a sticky thick paste and all you have to do is pinch out what you need and coat the pill. The flavor must be strong enough to mask the pill because my cat eats it easily. At first I split the pill in half, but now I can put in the entire pill. If you have a picky pill taker, give it a try.

My geriatric cat will go on a food strike if he even suspects I'm trying to give him medication. Pills, liquids, crushed tablets hidden in food—he's seen every trick in the book. When my veterinarian recommended this paste for hiding an antibiotic, I was extremely skeptical. To my surprise, he scarfed it down like it was the best thing he'd ever eaten and immediately wanted more. I was honestly stunned. For a cat that normally treats medication time like a personal betrayal, this product was incredibly effective. The paste is easy to mold around pills and did an excellent job masking the medication. If your pet refuses pills, this may be worth trying. The reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that I suspect it didn't agree with my cat's digestive system. He had some loose stool while taking antibiotics, which can happen with antibiotics alone. However, three days after the medication was finished and his stool was nearly back to normal, I gave him two pea-sized pieces of the paste as a treat because he was still begging for it. Within about 90 minutes, his stomach started gurgling and he had diarrhea for the rest of the night. I can't say with certainty that every cat will react the same way, and I'm not willing to test it on my other cats just to find out. What I can say is that it worked remarkably well for hiding medication, and I will continue using it when pills are involved. I just won't be offering it as a regular treat.
