My last pup had a liquid medication, twice a day. We had them make it fish flavored. She loved that stuff, it was so easy to squirt it in her mouth with the dosing syringe.
Current pup has 2 pills twice a day. He's mostly deaf but can still hear that bottle open. He's sneaky and will walk away to spit out the pills. He'll refuse pill pockets. He knows all the tricks. I just have to shove the pills down his throat, then watch him eat a treat so I know he didn't cough a pill up into his cheek or beard. Grumpy old man dog.
I'm glad we don't have that problem. I've seen several people commenting the same thing.
My cat is the same, but a method he can't get around is crushing and dissolving the pill in boiling water, then letting it cool down and using a water syringe to put directly on the tongue. Worth a try if he's beating every other scheme you've cooked up!
