Mixed results, and some tips Jan 11, 2007 By Joel Tesler
I have three older cats who take arthritis pills. One also takes a thyroid pill. I decided to try the pill pockets. For the first month or so, they all loved them, and they made it easy to give the pills. However, after three months:

One cat still loves them. I have to watch her carefully or she will steal the pills from the others.

One cat has figured out how to eat around the pill.

One cat sometimes takes them, but at other times just sniffs the pocket and skips it.

I have figured out a few tricks that help:

There are two types of pockets for cats: chicken and salmon. The chicken is slightly larger and more pliable and works better with larger pills. However, I think that the cats find the salmon tastier.

Get another cat treat and stick it to the side of the pill pocket. Then place the pocket so the treat faces down. My finicky cat is much more likely to eat the whole thing that way.

The pill pocket still helps with the cat who eats around it. After she eats the pill pocket, it is easier to shove the pill down her throat. She is more likely to swallow it instead of spitting it out if it tastes of pill pocket.

If you have two pills, try to fit them both in one pocket. Giving the cat fewer pockets will make it seem more of a treat.

Makes life easier but a word of caution Sep 18, 2007 By Dr D
So glad I got these. My cat is on a motility agent and I dreaded giving him the pills remembering the nightmare it was last year when I had to give him antibiotics for a month. With these it's no sweat. He gobbles it up. So much so that he begs for them. Today I got home and he'd managed to get the whole bag off the shelf he normally doesn't reach and tore up the bag and ate them all (more than 30 of them were left). I cringed at the thought of what would have happened if I'd decided to prefill the pockets with the meds. It would have been a tragedy - he would have overdosed and died. Thank goodness I had the instinct not to do that. So word of advice is do never prefill the treats in bulk. No matter how safe you think your storage place is.

When it comes to pets...we owners will try everything... Mar 18, 2005 By pinkish1
...and I did. My cat was diagnosed with asthma and it was then that it became necessary to pill him daily. He was feral his first year of life so pilling has always been impossible, especially since I have no one to help me with the whole process. Thanks to pill pockets, I have kept him alive and his asthma under control by myself, without adding to his condition due to stress (a common asthma trigger) from forced pilling. I've heard that some cats don't go for these treats, but my two boys gobble them up, pill and all. I'm not sure what I would have tried next if these hadn't worked. If you've had trouble pilling and you've run out of ideas, they are definitely worth a shot. Of course, if your cat is super smart and knows how to spit out pills, the treats, in and of themselves, are still great snacks!

The worst part of my cat's day is now the best! Jun 24, 2006 By Gardening Girl
I have struggled for over a year and a half in giving my cat a daily pill. She foams and vomits easily and she and I both dread this daily torture. I have tried to bury the pill in every treat and delicious food I could think of, including raw liver, but as soon as she smelled the pill (which has a disgusting bitter taste, the vet says), she wouldn't try anything. But this week I tried the chicken-flavored pill pocket, and my cat just about stood on my head to get it out of my hand so she could eat it. She goes absolutely nuts for it and doesn't detect her pill at all. The worst part of my cat's day (the worst part of my day, too) is now great! I recommend this stuff highly.

Note: After a few weeks, my cat decided she no longer liked the chicken flavor, but continues to eat the salmon flavor one. But sometimes she won't eat it unless I wrap some small cat treats on it like a sandwich. You don't need to use the entire pill pocket for small pills - I pinch off what I need, and so the bag lasts a long longer than usual.

Pill Pockets - some tricks Sep 24, 2006 By J. Kasper "Crazy cat woman"
I used these when my cat had to take antibiotic pills for an upper respiratory infection. They worked well, but I learned a couple of things:

1. Feed him the pill pockets alone a couple of times.

2. VERY IMPORTANT - Use one hand for the pill and the other for the pocket, and never let them touch. I accidentally let the pill hand touch the pocket and he wouldn't eat it because he smelled the pill.

The pill pockets were much easier than trying to pill and then squirt water into the cat.
