Whats your dog food of choice? Looking to maybe change Crickets as she needs a dog food with joint health supplements in it..... Tried the supplement pill but she just spits it out, even wrapped in cheese, burger or hot dog... So now she gets a asprin a day but even then I have to be creative to get her to eat that.... So dog food with supplement is my next choice...
Right now I get Cricket and the other three Ol'roy and yes I know there are lots of negative thoughts and words on it, but other than her sore joints (Age ten this May) she has been a very very healthy and happy dog... The idea is to change all of their diets to one bran as they are free fed and being free fed they help themselves to the others as well and Ol'roy does not supply a supplement food for joint health that I am aware of..

Take a piece of tubing big enough to take the pill and put it in to the doggies mouth to the back of the tongue. Then take a deep breath and blow down the tube, withdraw the tube and hold it's mouth shut until it swallows.

Well for one the pills are large almost quarter size... as for shoving pills down a dogs throat it was my next option, but instead I bought her some pedigree joint health dog food.....

Oh, I'm a bad dog JoJo *hang-dog look* Been going on walks and playing with the boy, who finally learned how to throw a ball...kinda.
Joint pain is not something I want to have, but I know I will one day. I think the treatment is the same for dogs as for people. Big pills are no fun. I've had a few shoved down my throat. If you can coat it in olive oil and do it really fast, we hardly notice. Stand behind your dog with his head between your knees, tip his head straight up, put the pill in the very back of his throat, close his mouth and hold his head with nose towards the ceiling while stroking his throat until he swallows. Then give him a big ribeye steak with baked potato and cheese.
Fuzzy, what if the dog blows first? *hee hee*

Fuzzy, what if the dog blows first? *hee hee* LOL... The way I understood it to work was that ya put the tube in the doggies mouth not up it's ass. Maybe I have that wrong and older dogs with wiser heads than mine will put me right.
