We used the peanut butter method.    I used a plastic picnic utensil (the handle part) and when they opened up, I scraped the back of their teeth with it.  It works with Rocket (aka monkeybutt) and he's a finicky eater.

I'm having to laugh about the techniques & experiences shared! Funny 'cause it's all so common & easily understood. "Wearing the pill on his chest" - hilarious!!! Been there, done that!

right now Gracie's just happy gulping whatever. So I smush her pills in little squares of American cheese. I get a store brand that's softer than Kraft so it smushes easier & sticks to the pills nicely. She hears me opening the pill bottle & runs in, sits & eagerly watches till I pop a smush ball into her mouth - gulp! gimme another!

Riley is so dang picky and gags like a spoiled child when we would TRY and give her meds that I finally gave up hiding the pills in food -

I got one of those pill popper things that you open their mouth and stick it down their throat - works wonders......it is followed up (of course) with chicken livers, gizzards and hearts.  I do mix the K-9 immunity and all the supplement stuff with her food and make that nice and tastey with shreaded meat from the crockpot and she inhales that!!!!

I too am wondering about the spoon in the pnut butter.............
