Greenies Pill Pockets Feline Chicken Flavor Cat Treats

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

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 18+ year old cat is on quite a few medications for her kidney disease and arthritis. All medications are delivered in capsule format and either contain powders or liquids which I can only assume taste horrible. I was worried that she'd start chewing and release the powder/fluid into her mouth. So far so good! She actually looks forward to "treat" time. It does appear she's chewing rather than swallowing the "treat"; I really have no idea how she's not tasting the medication. Obviously your cat has to like the taste/texture of these pill pockets.

Our cat has to take a pill 2x/day, and it was a battle trying to get her to take it, even if hidden in her favorite, raw meat. The reviews are mixed on these pill pockets, but I was hoping she would like them so we would be able to stop forcing her mouth open and pilling her so aggressively. She won't these as a treat, but when we put them on top of her (canned) food, she happily eats them, pill and all. They are a perfect size for cat pills--tiny! They are nice and malleable, so it is easy to hide the whole pill inside. We highly recommend these!

I have an upcoming vet appointment for which my cat has to take two rounds of calming meds prior so I purchased these. She is too smart for the mixing-in to her food approach and too feisty to casually pop it into her mouth and down the hatch. She loves soft, meaty treats so I thought these would be perfect but she won't eat them in a pre-game warmup. Sniffs them, but won't eat them. I'll try a few more times but if all else fails I'll probably have to break out her straightjacket (Thundershirt).

After a really difficult experience trying to slip my cat’s meds into her food, I was feeling desperate. She hated the flavor of the meds in her food and refused to eat it. Plus, I’m not a forceful person, so the idea of shoving my fingers in her mouth was not ideal. I bought these pill pockets as a last resort. Since she had already tasted the pills in her food and hated them, I was afraid she would avoid these too if she even got a little taste of the pill inside. The pill pocket is definitely large enough that the cat has to chew it a little. To my pleasant surprise, she ate these up without any hesitation. The pill I was giving her was fairly large, so I did have to break it up and put After a really difficult experience trying to slip my cat’s meds into her food, I was feeling desperate.

The pill I was giving her was fairly large, so I did have to break it up and put it in multiple pill pockets, but again, it wasn’t a problem. These made my life so much easier and hers so much tastier! … more

Have a feral cat with FIV who needs meds but impossible to give to her by hand so these pockets fit the bill. She loves the flavor so far, looks for more as a treat. Wish it didn't have corn syrup in it, not good to give to animals & she may be diabetic, but not manageable enough to take to vet for test. This is the best I've found to use.

I bought these because obviously my cat needed to take medicine. It's only temporary but I feel so bad shoving pills in his mouth. Bought these but he won't even eat one without a pill in it. Seem great but only works if your cat will eat them.

Tigger has to take a pill every day for the rest of his life. I tried cheese and other items, but once I bought pill pockets he gobbled up his treat with the pill! This is so easy!!! People told me not to waste my money on these, but these are the best thing ever!

Pilling our cats is next to impossible, but wrap a tiny bit of Pill Pocket around it and they think it's a little treat and eat the pill right up! We don't use the entire Pill Pocket. My cats didn't like the chewy texture of entire pocket, but just coating the medication with the pill pocket did the trick!!
