My dog had knee surgery Tuesday. She has 4 medications to take everyday. 3 are not chewable. She is allergic to wheat, which is a primary ingredient in pill pockets.
I made my own using peanut butter, homemade oat flour, and pumpkin puree. But I need something more shelf stable, so I replaced the pumpkin puree with liver powder. The new version is very sticky, and not pliable like store bought pill pockets. So when I roll them out into balls, over a short period of time they coalesce back into one giant glob.
Looking for ideas for an add in that will help me get them less sticky.
For those unfamiliar with pill pockets.

Edit: while I appreciate how everyone is giving their dogs pills (except you mouth stuffers, give the pupper a damn treat), I am really looking for ways to perfect my pill pocket recipe.
I know this isn't a recipe or anything, it's what I do. Take the pill in your hand and put it in her mouth as far back as you can reach, then quickly hold her mouth closed and stroke her chin to encourage swallowing. Then give a high value treat if she swallows it. Repeat for all pills.
I did this for years for my dog and now he just eats the pills so he doesn’t have the deal with it.
Ah I just posted a comment that's basically another variant of this hahah
