how do you guys give your dogs pills? I keep trying to give mojo his pills and he wont eat them. the first day or two it was easy, he thought they were a treat, lol. but now he wont take them. i tried hiding it in his food, and he picks it out, i tried crushing it and putting it in his water, and he wouldnt drink, next i tried crushing it and putting it in his food so he can pick it out, but now he wont eat what do i have to do?

I wrap my dogs pills up in a piece of lunchmeat or cheese and give it to them that way. That has been the only way that they will take them for me.

Yes lunchmeat or cheese. We've also use PB before.

when i first started giving my dog his pills he wouldn't eat them so we went to the pet store and bought these pill pockets where you put the pill inside the treat and seal the treat up it worked for us

I use peanut butter, plain yogurt, or canned cat food. They gulp it down so fast they don't even realize the pill is in there.

I can't get our dogs to take pills; my husband has to do it. He just holds their mouth open and puts the pill way down in their throat, then rubs their throat so they will swallow it. I have a hard time because I can't hold their mouths open; too slippery.

Each of our dogs have been different and we have used most of the ways already mentioned. Wrapping in meat tends to be a favourite either fresh or proccessed ham.
Failing that I hold the mouth open and pop the wormer to the back of the throat close the mouth and rub the neck.

That's exactly what I do. It hasn't failed me yet.

I think that peanut butter is the best food to hide a pill in. The dog isn't able to pick the pill out due to the thickness. It's always worked great on my dogs.
