Do some pets hide their Heartworm disease prevention pills under the sofa?
Yes. Some pets, even those belong to veterinarians, spit out their medications under the sofa. When giving an oral medication, use something moist and tasty to get the pet’s saliva flowing. For example, offer a bit of cheese, liver sausage, or hamburger. Try following these steps: • Offer a treat. • Offer the medication wrapped in treat. Let the pet see you have another larger treat waiting. • Offer the largest treat. • Provide water. • Examine the mouth to make sure it’s empty.
