My dog developed a food related allergy and is now on a food trial diet to eliminate all chicken ingredients.

Too small for pills
By Bigdog on Dec 11, 2020
These are really small and does not work well for pills. You can only put one in each and capsules don't fit well. Won't order again.

Works for an uninterested dog
By Mich on Sep 20, 2020
My dog takes several medications in AM. Recently she is unable to use cheese (normal process) in AM but can in PM. These have been a lifesaver ... she wants these and will take the pills to eat them. I use one pocket, break it apart and one gets a benedryl, one half a pepcid, and the last one half a caplet all using one pincher. I

dog will eat your finger better let go
By tigger on Aug 4, 2020
you can stuff it,or like me i split it with scissors to get a thick liquid in them and then squeeze them back together the dog doesn’t care he can smell it but still goes right for it. not a care in the world. idk what they taste like but apparently dog crack lol they will almost swallow whole they get those eyes, now a smaller dog may need it cut in half to be able to do the same thing i have a pit so to him these are tiny things. to a shitz tzu they’re probably not so small. my dog gets 3 a day with his very thick liquid in it. doesn’t blink an eye. actually watches me fill them and close them up i hide them around the house, make him find them for fun it’s quarantine after all work that brain you can stuff it,or like me i split it with scissors to get a thick liquid in them and then squeeze them back together the dog doesn’t care he can smell it but still goes right for it. not a care in the world. idk what they taste like but apparently dog crack lol they will almost swallow whole they get those eyes, now a smaller dog may need it cut in half to be able to do the same thing i have a pit so to him these are tiny things. to a shitz tzu they’re probably not so small. my dog gets 3 a day with his very thick liquid in it. doesn’t blink an eye. actually watches me fill them and close them up i hide them around the house, make him find them for fun it’s quarantine after all work that brain out. … more

Great product!
By Vincent on Jul 18, 2020
These work great. My dog loves them. Other reviews claim that they are too small, however, with a little manipulation of the pill pincher, I can fit 1.5 Apoquel tablets in one piece. As long as you keep the bag sealed, they will stay soft and easy to form around pills.

did not smell like peanut butter
By Rocky on Jul 13, 2020
My dog refused. The pill wraps did not even smell like peanut butter.

For a dog reluctant to eat, these didn't solve much
By Arjay on Jun 17, 2020
Tried these for pocketing pain meds for my senior dog after he stopped taking his meds in almond butter, and then carefully separated the meds from deli meat to spit them on the floor. He could still taste the one med he really didn't like, and refused to take the it in the Pinchers, too. The only thing I could say for the pinchers was that it made it easier to force the quickly-dissolving pills down his throat. But these did nothing to make pilling him any easier. We're back to deli meat, and trying to keep his chin up so he has to swallow the pill (works about 2/3 of the time).

Works well
By Natalie890 on Jun 12, 2020
These work pretty well. Did have one dog bite into a pincher and capsule and got the powder everywhere, but otherwise it's fine. It would fit small to medium size tablets/pills, but nothing too large. I'm glad to have an alternative to pill pockets and much prefer these ingredients.

It works...but that's it
By mamafarron on May 4, 2020
So I'm a little indifferent about these. The only reason I purchased these was because Gunner's regular pill pockets have been out of stock and vetriscience is a brand we trust at the animal hospital I work for. I'm bummed that I can't shove all 3 of Gunner's meds into one pocket. I'm literally using one pocket for each of his meds. The pocket is not apoquel friendly, it's not a fan of the 16mg size. I am a fan of the peanut butter flavor because there's no chicken in these and Gunner is allergic.
