They make pill pocket soft treats for both cats and dogs, and depending on the medication, some places will just make a medicated soft treat.
My elder cat was having kidney problems, wouldn’t take pills, would eat around the pill to eat the pill pocket treat, and would violently shake her head if you tried using liquid meds. Eventually, I found an online pet pharmacy that would just blend her kidney meds right into a soft chew treat… unfortunately, this was several years ago, and I can not remember the name of the site I used.
Why don’t they make cat (and dog) pills taste like a treat? It can’t be that hard!
It’s not hard it’s more expensive. Heartworm and flea and tick meds come in treat form.
cats also tend to be a lot more finicky about different foods :(
True, but my lot wolf down different treats.
