@mercedes Came here to post this “Alright, alright, Mickey’s a mouse, Donald’s a duck, Pluto’s a dog. What’s Goofy?” and pretty much say the same thing you said.
Grasp the muzzle, Gently squeeze the sides so the mouth opens. Place pill on the back of the tongue. Stroke the throat downward (yes, on the outside). Reflex will cause the pill to be swallowed. Reward the dog before reflux occurs.
Thank heavens my dog is a food gobbler!!! I put her vitamins (and any other pills she may need) inside a fairly big chunk of her wet dog food and down it goes! She never “feels” a thing where they’re concerned. She’s the smartest dog I’ve ever met in my life but I’m so thankful that she’s clueless when it comes to something like this!
When my Rottie had to have a pill every day for her thyroid, I just slipped my finger behind her canine tooth and she immediately opened her mouth. Pill to the back of the throat and it was gone. No fuss, no muss. When the cat got sick, I had to sneak up on her to give her, her pill. Once it was in her mouth, I didn’t let go until I saw she swallowed it. Then I watched her to make sure she didn’t try to fool me into thinking she had swallowed and was waiting for the opportunity to spit it out.
RE: caption. I had to drive my daughters cats to her new house when she moved across country. They both loved liverwurst, so I stuck their sedatives for the trip into a piece of liverwurst. One of them will not touch liverwurst now and won’t take “treats” from me at all. He got wise real quick. Alas, the other is a garbage gut and scarfs anything he can get his chops on.

These pets are “sub-pets” ie, pets of pets.

Get the cartoon, but don’t see the relationship to the caption.

Two words: Pill Pockets (from the Greenies people). The dog inhales them (along with the pill).

Maybe the pet dog is their love child.

They have this pill shooter that takes all the fuss out of it, unless they barf.

Slip it into half a sandwich on the kitchen table and leave it there.. It’ll be gone in 5 minutes.

My two “garbage hounds”: P-nut butter around the pill. “Gee, that was good………I think…..what was it?” LOL
