• In an anonymous survey conducted in February
  2008 it was reported that approximately 70 of
  pet-parents who responded indicated that they
  faced difficulties while administering tablets
  and syrups to their pet dog.
• You might agree that at some point of time pets
  would need medical attention during their
  lifespan. In such a scenario, it is best to visit
  your veterinary physician and get the tablets and
  syrups prescribed by them. The only catch over
  here is that you know that the tablets and syrups
  that the doctor prescribes are best for your pet
  but they do not.
• If you are fortunate enough, the tablet and
  syrup would taste delicious which would enable
  your pet to crave for more. But more often than
  not you will have to be imaginative while
  administering the tablets and syrups to your dog.

• Administering Capsules or Tablets
• It is a very tedious task to give a capsule or
  tablet to your dog. If you think that grinding or
  crushing the pill will work think again as it
  leads to a distasteful feeling in the mouth of
  your pet.
• This will prompt him to throw off the capsule or
  tablet. Furthermore, there are capsules and
  tablets that have a shielding coating around
  them, which get destroyed when you grind them.
• Hence, this way of administering the capsule or
  tablet will not work.

• Let us look at an alternate way of administering
  capsules or tablets to your dog
• Slide your thumb behind the teeth of your dog
  and then open their mouth
• When the mouth opens, grasp the upper jaw and
  then hold the capsule / tablet between your thumb
  and index finger
• With the help of your middle finger drag the
  lower jaw to easily administer the medicine
• Place the pill behind the tongue and press it.
  Please ensure that your dog does not spin the
  tongue. If that happens then it will be very hard
  to get the capsule or tablet in the mouth of your
  dog. Once you have successfully placed the pill
  inside the throat of your pet close their mouth
  and rub the throat. This will ensure that your
  pet does not cough out the capsule or tablet but
  ingests it.
• Then when the pill is swallowed by your pet give
  a small treat to them. Praise them for their good
  behaviour.
• Note There are certain capsules and tablets
  that can be given with food. But if it is a wet
  food, then you need to make small balls and then
  place the capsule or tablet in the middle of the
  ball and then give it to the pet.

• Administering Syrups
• Compared to capsules and tablets, syrups are
  moderately straightforward to administer. Place
  the syrup between the molars and cheek of the
  pet. It is advised to utilize a dropper or
  syringe to administer it.
• Follow the steps to administer syrups to dogs
• Lock the jaws of the pet and then squeeze the
  lips as one.
• Place the end of the syringe or dropper in the
  cheek of the pet. Close the lips of the pet so
  that the medicine does not come out of the pets
  mouth.
• Keep the head of the pet straight so that the
  syrup can be easily gulped down by them.
• If there is a large dose that needs to be
  provided takes a gap between the dose and then
  administer the syrup. Note If you fill in the
  entire syringe in the mouth of your pet it can
  lead to gagging.
• Once the syrup has been gulped down by your pet
  ensure that your pet gets a small treat. Then
  praise them for their good behavior.

Before administering the syrup, check with your
veterinary physician for the adequate dosage that
needs to be provided to your pet. Also have
regular check-up of the pet so that the right
treatment is provided to them instantly. Also
keep all the medicines away from the reach of
pets and children.
