Vetoquinol 429022 Pill Wrap,4 oz

Giving pills to my cat was a nightmare. This bacon-flavored wrap changed everything. Now, she gets excited when it is pill time (three times a day, for her). It works with her thyroid pill (methimazole) and the bitter-tasting heart medication clopidogrel. A thin layer of Vetoquinol and she eats them all up like treats. It is sticky and easily adheres to the pills and transforms them into little treats. I sound like shill, but, dude, this stuff has made her life and mine so much easier, especially with her heart condition, as she is supposed to remain calm. Pill time used to be stressful, and now it is easy-breezy. It took her a few tries to like it, like 2 days. (The bacon smell was totally new to her.) I kept trying out of desperation. Once she got a taste for it, though, life-changing. Highly recommended.

Good pill wrap. I was afraid that my dogs would not like the taste or that it might cause stomach upset, but neither is the case. My dogs eat the pills I wrap every tme, and it seems safe and easy on the stomach. It is easy to scoop out, like a paste, and form around any pill. It is thick, but can be made as thin as needed. It has a smooth texture. It is quite costly. This is the only pill wrap I have ever tried, as it is what my vet sells, but since it works, I'll continue to repurchase as needed.

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.

One of our cats recently developed heart problems and had to take medicine daily. He's the most nervous and easily frightened cat of the dozen or so we've had so grabbing him to squirt medicine in his mouth was incredibly difficult. And I'm sure he was terrified every time we did it. But we learned from our vet of a service called MixLabs that mix the medicine into an edible "treat". He hates taking medicine and even in treat form, he refuses to take it. We found this product and figured it was worth a shot and it has worked perfectly. We wrap the pill/treat in some of this stuff and he eats it right up. It has made ours and his life so much easier. It's basically like bacon flavored Play-Doh. You just pull out a little bit and wrap the pill or whatever in it. Make sure that the pill stays within the wrap and doesn't touch any of the exterior. Your pet will smell the meds if it touches the outside of the wrap. One trick we do is to stick a crunchy treat on the side. The pill wrap is kind of slick and it sometimes is difficult for my cat to pick up and keep in his mouth while chewing. The dry treat gives his tongue something to grip while he licks it up and chews it. And it masks the smell of the medicine even more. This stuff is kind of expensive but it's worth every penny to us. Before the pill wrap, our cat was always nervous around us and scared that we'd pick him up and squirt horrible medicine in his mouth. But now he just happily takes his medicine and isn't worried around us.

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.
