Greenies Pill Pockets Feline Chicken Flavor Cat Treats

Cosmo has hypothyroidism and needed to take medication twice a day. Had some success with the liquid over her food, but then she started to eat around it. Asked for pills and used the pill pockets. Success!!! Then she figured out how to chew the treat and spit out the pill. BOO!! I started to take a full greenie treat and stick it to a crunchy treat. Worked for a hot second until she figured out how to chew around the pill. Now I take 1/2 a greenie, stick the pill in it and smoosh it to a crunchy treat. So far so good... and her brother gets a bonus too because I make him the same treat. Sheesh what we do for our cats....

These are convenient to use and I use the canine ones for my dogs (they are bigger for bigger pills), so I wanted to try it for our cat. Our cat is fairly easy to give a pill and I’ve been doing it for 6 years. The issue is, that my husband isn’t good at pilling her and she needs her pills twice a week for life. I wanted something to make it easy for him and our pet sitter. These are sized well for cats and very soft and pliable so you can squeeze it closed over the pill. I placed an empty one by my cat and she sniffed it, but wouldn’t eat it. I tried it again just to be sure, but no luck. I really wanted to try the one with tuna but they’ve been out of stock for awhile and hopefully they will These are convenient to use and I use the canine ones for my dogs (they are bigger for bigger pills), so I wanted to try it for our cat.

Pill pockets are a good solution to giving a pill to a cat, but I wish they were a bit larger. Pockets tend to break apart when using a full sized pill or capsule and I end up using 2 or 3 for one dose of medication. These pill pockets are also good to use as a random treat without any meds inside.

I don't know what it is with these pill pockets, but my cats go absolutely nuts when it's time for medication. This has really simplified our lives and I am able to get my cat the heart medication he needs consistently. The other cat just wants the treat as he doesn't get medication. Usually my cats get bored of a treat after a couple of weeks. Not the case with these, it's six months and they still go crazy for them.

One of my older cats recently had surgery and needed to take pain medication capsules 2x a day for a week and a half. Trying to pill him with a cone of shame on only led to him becoming wary of me everytime I handled him and I felt awful!! Not to mention he started getting really good at pushing the pill out of his mouth or just flat out refused to swallow it. Here comes in the Greenies Pill Pockets and he, being a treat-loving cat, adapted to it with no issue! The Pill Pockets are a nice soft consistency and were easy to mold around the capsule which was definitely a bit too long for the treat to fit snugly, but squish it around and it was fine. He ate it consistently for a while but later refused One of my older cats recently had surgery and needed to take pain medication capsules 2x a day for a week and a half.

He ate it consistently for a while but later refused the treats, but I don't think this was because of the treat itself--I think he just got depressed with the cone on. After he recovered fully, he still wants to eat this treat like any other. Definitely buying again to reduce the trauma for the next time I need to pill my cats!! I'll make sure they never suspect a thing... and get to eat something delicious, too! … more

I bought these because I have a cat that has to be sedated before bloodwork. She wouldn't even eat one without the pill in it. Maybe if I wet it with tuna juice she might find it more palatable. So I tried to see if my other cats would eat one (no pill of course) and none of them would touch it. What a complete waste.

Initially I was quite skeptical if these were going to work for my 10 year old LynxPoint Siamese, she's a pretty picky eater and absolutely hates pills, it's impossible to get them in her and most don't work mixed in food, especially if they are ground up and bitter. Recently she had to have a major surgery and part of her recovery required a full round of antibiotic pills, half every 24 hours for 10 days. As trusting as she is with me, there's no way I can get a pill down her throat, let alone swallow it. So how am I going to administer these important meds?!? PILL POCKETS TO THE RESCUE. She already loves the hard Greenies and luckily she likes the taste and texture of the Pill Pockets, that Initially I was quite skeptical if these were going to work for my 10 year old LynxPoint Siamese, she's a pretty picky eater and absolutely hates pills, it's impossible to get them in her and most don't work mixed in food, especially if they are ground up and bitter.

She already loves the hard Greenies and luckily she likes the taste and texture of the Pill Pockets, that definitely helps. The half antibiotic pills were just small enough to fit into the pill pocket without it falling apart, or having to use two pockets. I give her one and she gobbles it up. She does lightly chomp on it, so I was worried she might bite into the pill, thankfully she just chomps a few times and swallows, along with the pill. So long as the pills aren't too big these are great, otherwise you might have to use two and split the pill. The treats are soft and can be squished together, but too much and they crumble apart. Greenie Pill Pockets are lifesaver, so glad they worked. :) … more

My cat who has high stress and anxiety needs to take pills every day. Before we found these it was a nightmare. Now she comes begging us for her daily “treat”. She eats it right up every single night.

For months I struggled to get a pill into my cat twice a day. I dreaded it morning and night because nothing I tried worked. These pill pockets have saved me so much time and headache. She actually comes running when she hears me grab the bag and gobbles it up right away!

We have an elderly cat that requires 2 pills a day. This method sure does make it easy. No fight. No trauma. Just a treat to which she looks forward and down it goes!
